Hey folks, as a lot of you already know Jeff Thomas and myself like to play with music on Tesla coils. Jeff also has a set of fully robotics drums that we periodically pull out.

Saturday we tried something new, not just Dubstep, but Jeff "dubbed" audio on top of the robotic drums and Tesla coils (including vocals). This worked very very well and made the whole setup sounds awesome.

Check out the video from saterday night here Link2

Ive been meaning to ask.... that kind of power are you running this off?

Cause id love to build a setup like this oneday, but i only have a 100A 230v socket... and i doubt the local wiring could hold somthing like that anyway!

Each coil is powered from a 240VAC 50A feed. So a 100A feed should be more than enough to power two coils of this size.

Hmm, i was thinking.... do you have a list of songs you plan to play, or do you take ideas?... how do you think this song would work on your 2 DRSSTCs?

That did really turn out well! What sort of interrupter are you using to get those notes out of your coils? I assume its MIDI based?

I would almost say your version turned out better than most of the remixes out there wink

The interrupter used was my custom MIDI based one shown here Link2


Flux Pavilion just posted our video to his facebook page! So even the origonal creator of the music liked it!

Excellent work Goodchild! I really enjoyed watching that!

I really liked the robotic drums. Kind of reminded me of the old Wurlitzer band organs they used to have on the old carousels.

Daft Punk look out!
