Twin Musical Tesla Coils playing Mario Bros
Twin Solid State Musical Tesla coils playing Mario Bros theme song at the 2007 Lightning on the Lawn Teslathon sponsored by DC Cox (Resonance Research Corp) in Baraboo WI.
The music that you hear is coming from the sparks that these two identical high power solid state Tesla coils are generating. There are no speakers involved. The Tesla coils stand 7 feet tall and are each capable of putting out over 12 foot of spark. They are spaced about 18 feet apart. The coils are controlled over a fiber optic link by a single laptop computer. Each coil is assigned to a midi channel which it responds to by playing notes that are programed into the computer software. These coils were constructed by Steve Ward and Jeff Larson. Video was captured by Terry Blake. What is not obvious is how loud the coils are. They are well over 110dB If you look at another You Tube video which is from a different angle, you can hear the echo off the building and get a better idea of how loud it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JScc2plLQOI

Singing Tesla Coil at Duckon 2007
This is a solid-state Tesla coil. The primary runs at its resonant frequency in the 41 KHz range, and is modulated from the control unit in order to generate the tones you hear.
So just to explain a little further, yes, it is the actual high voltage sparks that are making the noise. Every cycle of the music is a burst of sparks at 41 KHz, triggered by digital circuitry at the end of a "long" piece of fiber optics.
What's not immediately obvious in this video is how loud this is. Many people were covering their ears, dogs were barking. In the sections where the crowd is cheering and the coils is starting and stopping, you can hear the the crowd is drowned out by the coil when it's firing.
This Tesla coil was built and is owned by Steve Ward. Steve is a EE student at U of I Urbana-Champaign. He and Jeff have been going to Teslathons, which is where they met.
It's been suggested that a good name for this coil would be the "Zeusaphone". "Thoremin" has also been mentioned, though personally I think we need Theramin type inputs for that.
To answer a few questions I've received, YES, someone did yell "Play Freebird!" after the first round of music.

Snakes Coils Around Baby in Crib
StrangeSnakes Coils Around Baby in CribSnakes Coils Around Baby in CribThe Associated PressA New York family suspects a snake hidden in a new crib mattress, crawled out in the middle of the night and wrapped itself around the leg of a baby sleeping in the crib. (June 11)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] A horror story? Maybe an urban legend? No, this story is true...A Long Island couple bought a new crib and mattress for a visit from their daughter and granddaughter.And then, in the middle of the night, on their first night home, screams sent the young mother running into the room.SOT: John Abatemarco BABY'S GRANDFATHER: "she looked in the crib and said 'what is that on the baby?' and she realized it was a snake. So, she immediately reached in, grabbed the baby and pulled her up."The baby's uncle reached in and grabbed the snake by the tail...SOT: Charles Vecchiarelle BABY'S UNCLE: "the head was on that side, and it was hissing and making a noise."The family put the California king snake into a bucket until animal control officers arrived, but the baby's mom had a tough time getting past what she'd seen.SOT: Joyce Abatemarco BABY'S GRANDMOTHER: "cari held the baby all night long. She just couldn't put her down....you know, how do you get past it?" As for where the slithering intruder came from...SOT: Brian Gunn ATTORNEY: "It certainly seems plausible that the snake was inside the mattress because there's a hole about the size of the snake's width in the plastic wrapping."The family says the mattress came from this Toys R Us store. A couple of things are certain -- the California King snake is not native to the region, and it's not venomous... but it is a constrictor that had wrapped itself around the baby's leg. ___ ___, The Associated Press
