Vsauce, Veritasium, Physics Girl and Joe all uploaded in a 24 hours span? My brain can only handle so much awesome science!
Vidcon is coming. Probably something to do with it I suppose.
So true
So much science!
And Tom Scott
lucky
Tesla Coils absolutely DID revolutionize our lives.
The first radio transmitters were spark-gap tesla coils that sent EM pulses extreme distances (like across the ocean extreme) to transmit messages. My Samsung phone charging wirelessly right now is essentially the same thing as a Tesla coil but at much lower voltages. Tesla was the MAN.
Sure was. The leaders of the world/government and scientific community were cruel to him, they did not support his ideas, especially not the wardenclyffe tower.
now this is the real deal in electro music.
I loved the Johnny 5 alike robot! When I was a kid, I always wanted to have one, specially the toy version that appeared on short circuit 2. :-)
Very interesting way to make music, though not necessarily the safest.
Or energy-efficient
Or limited on its production of toxic gases.
not safe
HI! I Love your videos about physics, I just want to thank you for the detailed and precise scientific knowledge you bring that many other physics channels on youtube lack!
It is totally safe, just don't touch the lightning. Like in the traffic, don't jump in front of a moving car 😉
This video is pretty… electrifying. It was so great working with Dianna, go check out her video!
u got first
you're so punny
You got first
Electrifying? I'd say you were very Hans-ON.....eh?
Yeah, I'm a dad.
+It's Okay To Be Smart best part of this video(to me) is that you are showing that the midi format is still in use, and second, that it has a "practical" application.
shocks me as i have been working with midi since i was 15(44 now), and still use it to make music to this date.
put it this way... i still use a soundblaster live 5.1 soundcard with user hacked drivers to make the wavetable for the midi work in windows 7 (they stopped making soundcards with wavetables with windows vista.
not to shamelessly plug, but check some of the midi's i have done and played through my soundcard on my channel(they are karaoke style parodies)
This is an Arc Attack. This an Arc Attack. THIS IS ARC ATTACK!
I saw them live once.
The experience was.....
Highly entertaining.
.....
And ELECTRIFYING!! AAYYYYYYY!!
FullyAutomatedLuxuryLGBTplusTranshumnistSpaceAnCom way to get the pun last moment!
Fantastic video!!! That's why the UA-cam is all about! I would never had the opportunity to view something like this in my life and thanks to your channel I was mesmerized by the science again.
Man...Dang Amazing
TWO of my FAVE science communicators
Cool! Verry good explanations! Thumbs up!
one of your coolest videos :)
Wow! So cool!
so much fun!!!
*I got a raging boson for Physics Girl....and it's gaining in mass every second....*
Baby, if there was no Gravity on Earth, I'd still fall for you...
But there is. So how bout we get that booty to accelarate to my bed at 9.8m/s^2. ;)
Aww, I love tesla coil music! It's so awesome :D
I knew it had to be ArcAttack. They are amazing.
Just....amazing
very cool tesla coil
that's awesome
I love both of you
Two things that i love. Physics and Diana!
True electronic music
This is good electronic music... literally
Some dudes have a project called Lightning on Demand where they wanted to build two twin Tesla coils, 100 ft tall. The idea was to have scientific shows, science experiments and other stuff. They even wanted to include a restaurant at the top, so you can actually see things from INSIDE!
But they never managed to secure funding for it. Such a shame.
Epic!!!!
Good video, Hi to all from Croatia (middle Europe), country of Tesla!
Imagine turning extremely hard Dubstep to a Midi file, then playing it with them.
A Midi file only holds a melody, you would not get different sounds :/
ummm... firstgreendinosaur... midi holds no sounds at all... melody included. it is an instruction set that tells a midi device what sound to play, and for how long... and since i have been working with midi for 29 years(you can find 9 of the thousands i have made through the years on my channel), i can assure you, that the instruction set can EASILY handle up to 64 instrument instructions at a time.
(edit) and just to add, that when coupled with a wavetable... dubstep would be a walk in the park once you have the audio clips you wish to add to it)
Shawn Hufford Sorry I was trying to keep it understandable 😂
I said "holds a melody" just like Morse "holds a message", not a scientific way to explain
And thank you for sharing your knowledge because I clearly know nothing about all this :l
+Shawn Hufford that would be cool
Imagine making music with instruments instead of a computer program.
Just shocking.
lol
Nice lmao
F
I'm subbed to you. Wow
I found it magnetic. Ohm my God this hertz. We must amp up the electric puns.
As time fluxes, I put a photon my desk and think of how static things become. Watt is the resistance to the waves of lightning fast change, truly tis a sad arc. I'm sure that the current electrocution induced the harbingers of change.
this was in that old movie! the sorcerer's apprentice, with jay baruchel... anyone else remember that??
ArcAttack did the sound for that scene.
You, guys, are amazing! That's all I want to say. Hello from Kazakhstan! ( Just in case, it's the place where currently astronauts are being launched to space and the place where they land)
This robot rocks!
Oh my shock!
when the lighting hit his head cage, i physically recoiled
And you see him, standing behind you... SHIA LABEUOF!!! lol
ayyy, this was in sorcerer's apprentice movie!!!!
Fun!
It seemed really terrifying yet cool to have lightning to strike but not hurt you⚡️⚡️
I love how the SD card says Cage. I'm assuming they play some music by John Faraday Cage?
Tesla coil goes with everything
1:43 Chia Laboof😂😂😂
I laughed badly when they showed that swing thingy 😂😂
Good
2:39 is the funniest thing ever
Coooooooool
Can the sound volume of these tesla coils be controlled?
THEY ARE MY NEW OTP!!!
This should be called the real electro music wwwoowowww man this is cool
this is the real eletric music
Zeus approves!
4:50 he’s got the power
Your smoking robot reminded me of pranks we pulled on unsuspecting technicians (each other) when i worked at Tektronics, in the early 1970s. The techs took newly built instruments and powered them up for the first time, repaired any problems and calibrated them and then they coild be packaged and sold. Occasionally a circuit would fail and sometimes a resister would burn up releasing a well known, easily recognized odor that we named "the ALLEN-BRADLEY smell", after the name of the resistor company. That was the key to the prank.
---> We all used small wattage soldering irons that had a replaceable tip that was pushed onto a hollow heated metal tube. Putting that fact to good use, we would come to work early enough to set up the prank. We would sneak into the victim's work station, and remove the tip of the soldering iron, insert a 1/4 watt resister with it's leads cut off, and replace the tip.
---> When the tech came to work, he would turn on the power to his bench and begin to power up the next instrument. It takes soldering irons around ten minutes to heat up, and that give the tech enough time to power up the instrument, before the 1/4 watt resister would start to burn. The tech , upon the first whiff of the ALLEN-BRADLEY smell, IMMEDIATELY kills the power to his work to minimize the destruction and begins the repair sequence by trying to locate the faulty circuit.
---> The more he looks for the source without success, the more frustrated he becomes. By this time the whole room of techs, who were all "in" on the prank, lose their self-control and start to laugh. The Victim realizes he was "had" by the prank and awards a point to the prankster on an imaginary scoreboard. A now the pressure was on the victim to come up with a revenge prank.
---> When I was the Victim of the ALLEN_BRADLEY trick, I got back at the prankster by coming in early and sabotaging his work bench. I unplugged it from the power and plugged it into an extension cord, which I ran back to my bench. I plugged my end into my VARIAC (a variable transformer to adjust the AC to any voltage 0-150VAC). I left the power at the proper 117VAC, until I saw the tech begin to check the new equipment for proper operating voltages at various test points, throughout the circuitry. Then I slowly turned the voltage down. The tech tried to figure the cause and I started turning it back up, then down, then up again. By that time the tech got wise and start looking around the room and everybody cracked up again! And those were the days of our lives... stay tuned for the next episode, as the stomach turns...
---> I realize these stories aren't exactly on topic, but you can't predict when an old memory will pop up, and besides it gives us one more view into Human psychology, with some comic relief...
This reminds me of the movie the Apprentice
To be honest............. I am SHOCKED XD
XD he should've said, my body is ready
Too late now.....
Jan 12 2017 at my field trip, at a show the sparks/Lightning bolts made music tunes like super Mario and that darth Vader song...
wait.. how does alternating current help tesla coils if voltage is collected at the top??
Electronic music at it's finest
You're walking in the woods. There's no one around and your phone is dead. Out of the corner of your eye you spot him:
0:42 Whip it! Whip it good!
They showed something like this in The Sorcerer's Apprentice. I didn't think it was actually possible. :O
What was the first song that arcattack played?
when you are a sim 1:12
Wait. Wouldn't lightning just the same principle as feel a coils? That being resonance of small amount of static electricity in certain clouds, causing it to just explode out, and ionizing the air, as it connects (or Attempts to connect,) to the ground?
P.s. I just googled it, and it's ionized water droplets that polarize clouds, and cause static electricity to build up, pretty much being a floating giant tesla coil
60fps?
We want 240fps!
Tesla coil-
Hold my beer - 440hz
So did we physics on 6th street? Great videos.
At 2:49 - 2:54 you can see that the lightning consists of little parallel flashes. Why is that?
Should've played "constructing science" from portal 2 with this
Midi can work with tesla coils I usually see midi in digatial keyboard or something
How does a food dehydrator work?
i defiantly want to study electrical engineering after watching this.
it looks like it was pretty hot in there, sweating like mad lol
It was brutally hot. And THEN I had to put on a 20 pound metal suit…
+It's Okay To Be Smart so I guess you could say it was
heavy metal
:D
:D
I need to hear the Doom ost in this format
You two looks like brother and sister please make more vids together :)
thats what i call , 'electronic music '
How were the mics setup to record the audio generated by the coils?
There is no special setup, tesla coils sound like that because of the frequencies they use as explained in the video
+FirstGreenDinosaur okay let me rephrase: how and where were the mics positioned to record the audio while shooting video? was it a normal boom mic or did they use something special like a Neumann condenser or audio technical etc. to record audio generated by the coils.
Audio Technica* goddamn autocorrect
MrPainseeker The Tesla coils are very loud so it has to be a pretty good microphone in order to not create bad sound.
That song with Joe in between the coils sounds familiar. What is it?
It's an ArcAttack orginal called beasts.
Giovanni DiPrima thanks, but now I wanna know what it's based on. It sounds like a organ song by beethoven
You're basically Mare Barrow 😂😂
I'm fast Bois. let me think of a joke.
what? I just said I'd think of a joke
not share it
SHARE... IT... WITH... US!
NOOOOW!!!
Yeah do it
They should make "Still Alive" from portal
These reactions
0:43 I was there today
TEXAS!
Hey you need to do a collaboration with Deep Look, that channel makes such epic content but it has a very low number of subscribers, not many people know about that channel but it has great content, I know that you both are from PBS, at least give that channel some help, thanks ;)
3:54 Nice xbox 360 controler :)
Edison vs Tesla? What would the world be like it Tesla's inventions had led the way rather than General Electric?
Also, that was no explanation of how the Tesla coil actually produces the music. I mean, MIDI file, SD-Card, optical data link - so what, that isn't the point! I'd like to know more about the actual physics behind that! How is the frequency of the music modulated onto the frequency of the tesla coil?
How do they play the drums?
if you key mash itll make white noise which sounds like 8 bit drums
Search David Blane and Andrew WK doing this it's awesome
I dare you to play a black midi on that thing
HE'S A WIZARD!
Wonder how many of you got that reference...
pretty old movie
+Yukino Takada 雪乃 鷹だ i know thats why i want to know how many people will get it
Hold on... HOLD ON... with enough individual tesla coils you could make them talk... (A talking piano type thing)
HMM! Arcattack sounds like Architect?
I request the Gravity Falls theme be played on Tesla Coils!
5:10 well, you wanted to shoot ligthings from your fingers... well at least you got one from your thumb.
This has been done to death on UA-cam
You can see the robots eyes blink from the AC current in the 1/20th speed video

Sounds like castlevania theme music.
