Fun with a Tesla Coil!
Now here is an Australian (name of Peter- nickname TDU) who knows how to have fun with electricity! Specifically Tesla coils which are a way of generating high voltage electricity at high frequencies. These overcome air resistance so can produce long sparks. Because of the higher frequency, you don't get a shock if you touch a spark (muscle spasm) but you can get nasty burns. In otherwords be careful!
Tesladownunder is clearly a labour of love site and if this stuff fascinates you, well worth a visit- loads of photos and videos. In particular the recent addition of photos of him in a swimming pool with a 100,000 K spark discharging into the water looks very scary!
