Video of a real Tesla Coil that you can carry.

Atari2600

Hey everyone. I found this in my daily rummaging through the internet, and I figured you might like this. Its a video of a carry-able tesla coil (based on how its described, its also considered a plasma gun). Go figure.

Anyone wanna make a few and go chill out at the Eiffel? LMAO...

Seems to be an awful big gun for such a short range bolt, dont ya think? I would classify this weapon as useless!
Nice find though.

Yeah, too short of a range, and it's hooked to the wall...

But yes, nice find.

So, its the prototype. I guess. But the RA2 tesla trooper has next to no range too, so whatever...

Well, RA2 has some strange things...or you gonna say its normal to an tesla go to the way of its enemies, even if theres an allied near? It should take the closest range as fair as i know...By the way, cool gun. #Tongue

I never knew electricity had to be blurry and undetailed. Hmm...who'd have known pure energy is photoshopped.

Modder, The entire video quality is bad :S

Also, Lights wouldn't flicker like that if it was fake, considering that it won't even flick like that normally.

Well that sucks, anyhow if only it was real and you could shrink it to mount that into a electric exoskeletal suit and increase its power exponentially to the point where it can short circuit at tank in a matter of seconds. Then, I will start worrying about the former Soviet states rejoining and invading Europe.

That thing IS real. I've seen enough videos of tesla coil stuff to see that. The reflections and light flashes that actually mirror off stuff and reveal details in corners the gun is aimed at is not something you can easily do with photoshop.

Ehh. What I want to do is pull off Nikola Tesla's original idea of wireless power. Now that would be awesome.

You haven't seen a real Tesla Coil in action, then.

Not even a half of these bolts touch a surface. Although I too suspect the video to be fake, this one I posted surely isn't.

Tesla is a remarkable man. I read a bit about his impressive inventions, and his battle against Edison.

I wanna be a tesla trooper when I grow up!

Thank you vefbl4. Now we need to wait for somebody to discount all of these videos as shopped.

So many Tesla projects. Where do I sign up for these things.

You should've saved Tesla when you had the chance!

Oh, the money-hungry bankers.... I can only wonder how the world would look today if Wanderclyffe was completed. If it would've worked, that is.

I know it would of worked. If only we could reincarnate him. Someone search for a piece of his hair in that room he died in. We will clone him.

I think Electricity can be aimed, Mythbusters did something like it, they used water as a conductor to aim the electricity, didn't look as cool as real Tesla archs though...
