That's pretty awesome.

Wow, I wonder if you can get it to play higher quality music.

Hehehe... I've got to finish making a musical instrument by tomorrow. I should have built one of those

All you need is a higher frequency and/or variable amplitude coil.

I didn't think you can play anything different than a constant frequency (though I know nothing of Tesla Coils). Definitely not a wasted few minutes .

omg with those sparks you can play music and kill people at the same time

lol Our future weapons of today!
The combination of the ipod and a weapon!
Listen to any music you want and kill at the same time! Ignore those awful load sounds of war and listen to the Beach Boys Greatest hits! xD

I can imagine that...

I can imagine it being used to kill people.

Guy 1: YAY I LOVE THIS MUSIC *dies*.

That's fucking awesome!

We had one of those last year in physics. Of course it was a crapload weaker, but it still packed a freaking punch when you get zapped. If our teacher held a metal ball on a stick against it, you can put your hand on it, and your hair would be sky high. If you had any strings on your shorts, they'd be floating too. It was quite hilarious. We had twenty people connected to the coil, and the last person in the line who was all the way out in the hall decided to be a prick and tap the lockers, which gave us all a major volts. A fun thing the person out in the hall can do is touch random people that walk by in the hall and give them a little buzz. Good times..


edit: actually, I'm thinking about a static electric producing coil, the ones here are current electricity. The current ones are the deadly ones

I wonder if you could hook up a guitar to a Tesla Coil and use it as an amp?

Yes, you could. At least, with this one.
