I for one am shocked!
/Fully CHarged!

Cthulus_Toaster, I see Watt you did there!

I see no mention of making clones of myself or creating a defensive perimeter to destroy the Allied tanks.

Killt he huge monster in the original Half Life? Of course, I had to read the online cheat to figure out how to kill that monster.

Impressed:

I liked it when Tesla told Wolverine how to teleport himself with a modified tesla coil.

Oh wait... you mean that wasn't real? Movies lied to me? Nooooo!

But what happens when you put your wanger on the tesla coil?

Yeah, it works just fine, as long as you can keep running around and grabbing these before anyone else does.


Ah, Quake... Making the Tesla Coil practical since 1996.

Tesla coil + microwaved CD = fun!



Sending a Furby to the great motherboard in the sky:

Pyr0:

Here I was hoping I would make the ultimate geeky joke on this thread. You go and nuke a Furby. You, sir, are a visionary.

/save image as...

PS.

If you can get a version of that in a decent wallpaper resolution, you would be my Fark hero.

GGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I'd banished Furbies to the farthest corner of my mind...

Related??

RapCat:

Didn't you know? That's what the glass orb is for. To keep the electric death contained as not to fry Joel in his seat.

Because...

Oh no love! you're not alone
No matter what or who you've been
No matter when or where you've seen
All the knives seem to lacerate your brain
I've had my share, I'll help you with the pain
You're not alone

/Pushing it?

booooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnngggggggggg... i sleep now

My uncle and I built that coil, so I do have bigger pics.

High res version of the Furby

A few more pics here (pops, bigger pics in "bigpics" directory)

It's not tuned properly yet so it'll only throw 12" sparks. But still, there's nothing like the smell of fresh ozone in the garage. :)

Pyr0

You, Sir, are my Farking Hero. And that's not the filter covering up "f**king" either. You are my Farking Hero.

/if I was a TFer, I'd sponsor you
//but I'm not
///so I won't

Aww come on where's a Red Alert or RA2 screen shot?

/what? Why don't I do it myself?
//I would but I'm lazy and I haven't seen my RA discs in like 3 years

Pyr0, Shadowknight

For some reason, that's just not satisfiying without the look of pain and anguish on it's face...

//I know it's just a toy, but I want it to SUFFER!

The worst scene in Coffee and Cigarettes (except for the background music). Nothing is obscure on fark.

I liked it when Tesla told Wolverine how to teleport himself with a modified tesla coil.

And then Batman got framed for killing him. Good thing his butler was there to help him escape.

/spoilers?

Shadowknight: No problem :)

Bonehead: Yeah, it's too bad I didn't get an "After" picture of it with its eyes closed and most of its fur burnt off.

aphexcoil: IANAP either, but I *think* the high voltage needs to be DC to create X-rays. (I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong about that.) Tesla coils generate AC voltages at radio frequencies.

We messed with various light bulbs with our coil. When a couple of drunk nerds from the south say "Hey y'all, watch this!" ... well, if I die of cancer, I'll get back to you.

A few light bulb pictures...




^^^ If we got irradiated by anything, this probably would've been it.

soooo... there apparently aren't many, other than throwing sparks. although the music one is pretty awesome.

I wonder how you would actually use the high frequency, high voltage coming out of a tesla coil. I remember reading something where they were used for a very short time as a power supply for medical x-ray machines, until something better came along.

/Tesla FTW

tmcottle


I came here to post exactly that. I shall leave the thread now.


/rubber shoes in motion

Pyr0, you sir, are my hero.

As for the constant Prestige stuff... wasn't that movie really bloody weird to anyone else? Is there another Wolverine clone out there somewhere? Why are they such evil bastards? GAH!

cool bug zappers

Reminds me of when I was a lad at Tom Swift Vocational and I convinced a kid with braces to bite a Tesla coil at max setting.

/Good times...
//Good times

gerbopel, that was THE first thing thing I thought of when I saw the link.I LOVE that movie!

Favorite scene:
Bill Murray: Doc, what could I do for this cough?
RZA: shiat, I was just thinking about that. Check this out: you get some hydrogen peroxide...
Bill Murray: We got that for cuts and stuff.
RZA: ...take fifty percent hydrogen peroxide, fifty percent water. You gargle with it. Do *not* swallow, you spit it out. Don't swallow, Bill Murray.
GZA: And if that doesn't work, try oven cleaner.
Bill Murray: We got that in the back, too.

WU-Tang Clan ain't nutin to fark with!

That is exactly what I came in here to post.

/It would be so cool to have coffee with Iggy Pop and Tom Waits...

I was bored one summer and was taking my final 8 units in Electrical engineering: Clicky here (doesn't pop)

Last time I dealt with Yesla coils was playing Command and Conquer!

Dare I say "Get off my lawn"?

I meant Tesla coils....not Jon Anderson's hair.

Pyr0: A few light bulb pictures...

My dad was a ham radio geek, so naturally we had a friggin' tower in our back yard. My brother and I taped a bunch of flourescent bulbs to it one night. Dad's thing was CW (morse code), and the tower flashed like crazy. He didn't find it too funny (he was wound a little tight), and neither did the neighbors.

Oh, almost forgot:

meh. You ain't seen a Tesla coil in action till you've seen Dr. Megavolt do his thing



but that's why he gets all the chicks:

The doctor

Magorn: You ain't seen a Tesla coil in action till you've seen Dr. Megavolt do his thing

Thirded. If you've never seen an 8 foot tall Tesla coil in action, do it. Amazing.

Or, you could just make a bunch of hats & cats.

The resemblance to a Van de Graaf generator is amazing!

Ah, Megavolt.
I was camped around 100 foot from it at Burningman last year. But then as a violet wand user; I wanna play!!!

LAME.

evh: If you've never seen an 8 foot tall Tesla coil in action, do it. Amazing.

How I wish I could have seen Tesla himself fire up his 187 foot high tower/coil at Wardenclyffe. He claimed to generate bolts 150 miles long. Damn them for tearing it down.

The tower at Wardenclyffe didn't have one scrap of metal in it, and it took crews with dynamite three tries to bring it down.
Tesla is proof the that the line between genius and madness is very very thin.
I wonder if the Feds ever figured out his "death ray"?

animalmagnet: It's not even close to a Van De Graaf in operation. Van De Graaf generator works by generating static electricity and the spark pretty much follows one path out. A tesla coil works with high frequency electricity and throws a aura of sparks in every direction along with a cool looking glow.
