Color Me Rad Hartford 2012
Atlanta again
Atlanta last summer.
My friend Becci kicks ass. She made this.
Went to the first cruise night of the year a few towns over. Some cool stuff there.
Check this out: Sweet Home Alabama played by ELECTRICITY. Not only is this maybe the awesomest use of Tesla coils to date, but the reason it works is really interesting too. From the creator’s website (but edited for grammar and punctuation…I can’t help it, I’m sorry):
[Tesla coils] create an extremely high frequency voltage at their output. This voltage has enough energy to convert a small part of the air around the coil to a plasma (the purple stuff you can actually see). Now this plasma, when it’s created, forces air out of it’s way as it forms. This creates a pressure wave that propagates away from the spark at the speed of sound.
It’s the same thing that happens with a speaker. The cone moves forward and back, creating a pressure wave we perceive as sound. Cool, eh?
I absolutely love that scientists out there are trying to discover the cure for cancer and other noble things, but damn if I’m not super happy that they’re also playing around with stuff like this.
Awesome
It is seriously one of my favorite things in life when nature takes over man-made spaces.
looks more like nature conforming to shapes imposed by humans
So neat
