Zippity Zap!: Dr. Who Theme On Tesla Coils

Note: Video is after the jump due to its electrifying nature. You know, or to keep scripts on the front page to a minimum.

This is a rendition of the Dr. Who theme as performed on Tesla coils at the recent Makers Faire in San Mateo, CA. I'd make love to it -- aaaand a Victoria's Secret catalog. Psyche -- THIS AIN'T MIDDLE SCHOOL.

ArcAttack employs a unique DJ set up of their own creation to generate an 'electrifying' audio visual performance. The HVDJ pumps music through a PA system while two specially designed DRSSTC's (Dual-Resonant Solid State Tesla Coils) act as separate synchronized instruments. These high tech machines produce an electrical arc similar to a continuous lightning bolt and put out a crisply distorted square wave sound reminiscent of the early days of synthesizers

Well what'd you think? I dug it. Of course, I also dug up my dead hamster after a year to see what it looked like. It didn't look good. Really wish I hadn't done that.

Hit it for the shocking (God I slay me) performance.

    Weezer's "Pork and Beans" music video is freaking awesome. It's got a bunch of Youtube stars in it that they got together to shoot the video. Just watch it. Like right now, at work. Crank the volume up, break the knob off, and sing along like a freaking maniac (extra points... / Continue →
