According to legend, Tesla was born precisely at midnight during an electrical storm, to a Serbian family in the village of Smiljan near Gospi?, in the Lika region of the Croatian Krajina in Military Frontier (part of the Austrian Empire), in the present-day Croatia. Those pictures will show you what people can do now because of Tesla’s invention. Literally, they are playing with electricity, creates some shapes and it looks very dangerous.

Tesla then studied electrical engineering at the Austrian Polytechnic in Graz (1875). While there, he studied the uses of alternating current. Some sources say he received Baccalaureate degrees from the university at Graz.However, the university says that he did not receive a degree and did not continue beyond the first semester of his third year, during which he stopped attending lectures.Others have stated that he was discharged without a degree for nonpayment of his tuition for the first semester of his junior year.According to a college roommate, he did not graduate.

Tesla engaged in reading many works, memorizing complete books. He had a photographic memory.Tesla related in his autobiography that he experienced detailed moments of inspiration. During his early life, Tesla was stricken with illness time and time again. He suffered a peculiar affliction in which blinding flashes of light would appear before his eyes, often accompanied by hallucinations. Much of the time the visions were linked to a word or idea he might have come across; just by hearing the name of an item, he would involuntarily envision it in realistic detail. Modern-day synesthetes report similar symptoms. Tesla would visualise an invention in his brain in precise form before moving to the construction stage; a technique sometimes known as picture thinking. Tesla also often had flashbacks to events that had happened previously in his life; this began to happen during childhood.

    Thats Amazing! Imagine if you were to walk around with the electricity around you.
    You could use it as a self defense weapon.

    Do you even understand what Tesla’s contributions to our modern science means to everyday life? If this is stupid, try living without electricity in your home, and then thank Tesla that you have it.

    I think there was confusion in the earlier post, I think the letter “d” had a slip of the fingers. He meant to type:

    “Fascinating! Here I am, presented with something of which I have little or no understanding and therefore almost a nonexistent capability for respect. If I had graduated from high school and pursued a rigorous education in college I might be able to appreciate these pictures. This really makes me mad at myself for not working harder in life. Wow! How f****ing stupid do I feel?”

    I also corrected that punctuation, which was ridiculous. No one says “wow how.” Go ahead, try it. A comma might have been sufficient, but an exclamation prefacing the declaration of your self-loathing for being “f***ing stupid” seemed to warrant the exclamation point.

    These images are taken from tesladownunder.com, it is not in a residential neighborhood and the creator of the coils has a very advanced knowledge of electricity and its interactions.

    Having personally been in similar experimentation I can say it is actually quite safe if you take the precautions and don’t mess about. Having said that I would NOT recommend people try and build their own. If you want to play with electricity remember it can kill you. How bout a Van Der Graaf machine or a small Jacob’s Ladder (one on instructables for example).

    Amazing violet lights.
    I wonder if it smells like electricity after you use this kind of deveces.

    I hope these electrical experiments do what Tesla s were completely unable to accomplish due to Edison taking over the electricity industry. probably nothing as far fetched as the things seen in the movie The prestige. but the other things that were silenced.

    Tesla coils are amazing. I haven’t seen that particular hue of violet before. I’m guessing that the circles are the result of someone moving the spark around in time elapsed exposure? Thanks for these!

    Ya’ll do realize that several of those are time-lapsed or long-exposure photos right? Like the one with the dude and the “halos” around him and the car one.

  27. 2008.01.09 01:25
  28. 2008.02.15 20:06

    The halos may be lime lapsed. But it is most likely a copper ring hooked up to the coil. the electricity is just arcing off of it. + some plastic to hold them up. My coil is the shit. 500,000 volts. But made custom with very low amps. Smaller arcs -_-” but all you get from direct contact is a light burn.

    Wow, I love it! Just wonder how beautiful it is. Maybe I can try that . Just kidding! You people are crazy to stand right in the middle of electricity. Thank God for it. But that is still crazy!

  32. 2008.04.20 18:10

    Beautiful,beautiful. I’m only in fifth grade and I love it. Show me more ,show me more!

    This is truly remarkable, I wonder when the technology will be completely mastered and applied to real appliances, not just for curiosity, fun or show.
