“Sweet Home Alabama“ - Musical Tesla Coils

These are two gigantic solid state musical Tesla Coils. A Tesla Coil is a special type of transformer invented by Nikola Tesla that is able to generating extremely large voltages using a phenomenon known as electrical resonance. Each coil in this video is capable of generating a 13 foot spark. This equates to about 500,000 volts of electricity. The primary drive system for the coils consists of high power semiconductors arranged into an H-Bridge switching configuration. During a spark event, the c
