MUSICAL TESLA COILS - MAKER FAIRE in San Francisco - Dancing in the Faraday Cage!
My son was begging me to get to Maker Faire very early, a year after he had missed out on being invited on stage to be locked in the Faraday Cage, and dance with the other kids under the musical tesla coils.
This was going on each year for many years; not sure about 2017..
We managed to get him up to the front on the crowd, and he was invited on stage by Adam Savage (MythBusters) and he had a great time.
It's hard to believe, but this is a musical instrument, and it's controlled with MIDI keyboards. There are 2 Tesla Coils, one on each side of the cage. The coils arc at different frequencies, producing musical tones.
Using a MIDI sequencer, it is possible to automate the play of the coils, using recorded MIDI instructions (player piano style).
The camera has a difficult time capturing just how amazing this show is; they darken the room and it lights up with showers of plasma; just incredible to witness.
wow its wonder full if ur son performing here i think its time to show him on stage get him many confidence and give him new abilities so u dont miss him for these programs u motivate him for this and try to make him a best sir
Wow! Fantastic! How many impressions it can give! Thanks dear @surfyogi! It's amazing!
That is really really cool. Upvote and Resteem. Cheers.
Looks pretty sketchy but I'd understand why I kid would want to go in there.
'small children in a cage' someone screams haha
This is absolutely amazing.
Tesla coils are so cool man and this is a great way to watch some kids dancing.
Great Video @surfyogi
That looks awesome! It actually reminds me a bit of television cartoon series of the 80th. They liked to use lightning and synthesizers back then. Shows like Heman comes to mind...
I have visited an event once and there was people who were shocked to see music coming from tesla coils. They didn't have any idea why does it make music so efficiently. Actually, the reason is tesla coil is converting air into plasma, changes its volume and this cause waves spreading out in all direction. Then these waves controlled by MIDI sequenced which you have already mentioned in your posts sir.
So, I am sure now, whoever reading this post, would never wonder about it.
Anyways children are having a good time inside the cubicle :) Good to see them happy :)
Wow. I am sure he had fun.
It looks great! Children are having fun!)
Deven, Look me up! Nice to see you enjoying your friends, and they seem to enjoy you :)
