I sparked to this clip right away but the electricity I first felt ran out of juice after a minute or so.

There's some guys called 'ArcAttack' that have this beat. They do something similar, except they actually use the electrical arcs to play the music itself! By controlling the power of the arc they are able to control the sound that arc emits, so they are actually playing the tune with the Tesla coil! Its very cool.
(google search for 'doctor who theme tesla coil' and you'll find the video.)

That's all fun & games, but for serious tesla coil action, you need <a >Survival Research Labs</a>. I saw them in Seattle on one of their rare exhibits outside SF; they gave out earplugs going into the show, which involved tesla coils, pulsejets, and flamethrowers. It was nearly deafening *with* the earplugs; I can't imagine it without them.

Ah, fun times.
