Wish you a very Tesla Xmas
Using a 30-foot Tesla coil 'tree' and a super-long camera exposure, an Aussie physician and physics junkie created this electrifying display of holiday cheer.
A physics fanatic down under is having a very Tesla Christmas this year, creating a 30-foot electrifying display of yuletide cheer by attaching a rotating rod to the top of a Tesla coil, making for quite the colorful Christmas tree. Using such specialized science tools as a fishing rod and sinker, household power, and a Nikon D300, physician and Tesla buff Peter Terren manipulated 500,000 volts at a time to produce the images seen here.
Using what he calls "electrickery," Dr. Terren -- known for a few other Tesla coil adventures including an electro-colorful remake of Rodin's "Thinker" -- used a really long exposure on his camera, several different lens filters and his knowledge of physics to create the high-voltage scene, manipulating the rod to create different visual effects.
