heychris writes: You've gotta love the Chicago Tribune's story on Tesla Coil hobbyists from the first sentence. "Under a starry Saturday sky behind a Lake Zurich warehouse, three men unload a small flamethrower, electric cabling, neon-tube "light sabers," about 80 pounds of chain mail and two 7-foot devices that look like monster-movie props." So what does one do with 1.6 million (sorry, not 1.21 giga-) watts and a Tesla coil or two? Play 110dB music, of course.
