Tesla coil: nerd takes care of Christmas tree

A Christmas tree will never be the same again after watching this Tesla coil video. Is this totally tasteless or next level?

Sparks fly with a Tesla coil

Normal people enjoy an attractive Christmas tree, sing nice songs and enjoy a lavish Christmas dinner. This Italian nerd, nicknamed The Volt, thinks a little differently. He decides to upgrade the Christmas tree until sparks literally fly from it. This with the help of the ultimate gadget for electronics enthusiasts, the Tesla coil.

This works with extremely high voltages that produce very long sparks. Dangerous thing, therefore, which for that reason exerts an irresistible attraction on the more adventurous practitioners of the noble art of electronics.

2 kW power and four transformers from microwave ovens

For this marvel of technology he uses 2 kW of power, four transformers from microwave ovens and an asynchronous rotating Sparc Gap Tesla coil. A huge power guzzler, but fortunately for him, the installation does not survive for long.

And admittedly, it is quite efficient to combine Christmas and New Year’s Eve. But isn’t the point of partying just to have a good time and just relax and enjoy the babbling Christmas party? And it’s a waste of the Christmas tree anyway. Plus a little cruel. On the other hand, you don’t have to set it on fire anymore.

Premature end to the Christmas tree

We suspect that the mother of this ragazzo, who probably lives at home, watches the antics of her enterprising offspring and wonders whether this boy will ever be okay again. On the other hand, he does demonstrate this disruptive approach to technology, which is of course always a bonus in these competitive times. Well, laugh it is.
