We built Natalie "Wattson" Paquette's ultimate ability from Apex Legends: Season 2 -- the Interception Pylon! It's a battery powered twin Tesla coil turret that creates a defensive perimeter for your team, destroying enemy ordinance and healing your teammates shields. And we made it real.

Top Questions:
1. Why only one coil?
Only one coil is real. They cost thousands each, and having two wouldn't have much of a visual impact, so unless you guys wanna donate...
2. Why doesn't it walk?
It doesn't walk in the game either.
3. It's too big!
Little Tesla coils are very disappointing in power output. Figured we'd go big or go home!
4. How long did it take?
Almost a month in total, hundreds of man hours from the entire team.
Nice job

Is it a coincidence that it is timed for the release of the Nintendo switch lite?
Can I just ask. Out of curiosity for which side: the raiders or the raided?
No need.... for us minecrafters have creative mode!!!
Hacksmith: builds a Tesla coil
Me: why didn't he just use an ultimate accelerant

Well I mean it’s true
That won't make a difference because he will still have to make the pylon..

I Don't know about others but this flip phone makes me feels like a star trek character.and at a same time it also feels like power ranger...

I thought everyone had at least one sitting in the corner of the room. No? Just me then... j/k
They are super easy to make and cheap if you have the time to wind the coils yourself...
You’d be surprised how many ppl would do it tho.

Realistic of humans.......

They actually used batteries that were out in the pylon I think.
Does it spin?

More importantly does it walk?

Yes

Please don't...
Please do.....a skinsuit with my power will keep my legacy alive
dude i love tesla coils and i love apex. this is gotta be my favourite video ever.
My favorite hacksmith builds are usually electrical types, hope you have more in the future!
I wonder how well this would work with military grade parts
Delete this comment.....
Before military sees it.
I am a milatary general i will watch your career with great interest

Are you dead. Haven’t seen you in months
I think they should include more timelapses so people appreciate the insane amount of work put into this stuff
My brother and I thought Thomas was so cool when he was in the video. It was like: "Dude we're friends with a cEleBrItY"

I also thought he would call Elon
Let’s be honest the hack smith team are basically real life super heroes.

When I saw the notification, my brain translated the title to "Coil Gun Turret"...
I'm not disappointed since this also really cool, but I always find it funny when that happens.
One project I’d really like to see you tackle is binding rings from the storyverse book series. They give a authors the power of all there stories and interpreters the power to enter stories and wield Storyverse every. Sadly, I don’t think anyone could build them with modern advancements.
I did it papa!

Aah.... Nikola Tesla would be soooo much proud looking from heaven😍
Not really
I think you could easily start building weapons for the army.
Unfortunately not. The weapons market is sewn up tighter than the mafia. You even dare try get a slice of that government pie and expect to have some very powerful companies doing all they can to ruin you.
Boi I meant that the government would pay them to make weapons for the army.

we should contact him to make our naruto gear so we can run faster during our raid on area 51
oh yeah he also made that zarya gun which shoots lasers so we will be prepared
Well if you put the flying like Ironman jets on your arms while naruto running you can easily go mach 2.5
So awesome😎
Please stick that tape on the orange rope spindles too, it will look like extra real copper.
Hacksmith can you please make the robotic arms from spider man 2

Can you please build the Tek-rifle from ARK survival evolved
Feanor that would be really cool
Yessss
The tek rifle from aberration
Daniel Sanchez I think he means the normal tek rifle. The one from aberration is called the tek railgun
You should make the Arkham Knight’s (Jason Todd) helmet from Batman!
Like if u agree
That would look so cool
And if they could do the animations that appear on the helmet in the game it will look sick
Hacksmith: somethings we are gonna play with (including mjolnir)
Thor: seriously dude:(
Build a drone with a Tesla coil that can take out drones from the sky
Like if agree
Me but it would take itself out

@@soardev XD underrated
This is great....
Now can you make Red Alert's Tesla tower? Its simple.
*If you can control where the lightning lands*
I would expect that would be theoretically possible if you could ionize the air in a line from a capacitor to a target so the capacitor is discharged when there is a clear enough path for the electric to follow. I would also expect you would need a surprising amount of power especially if you were going for any kind of distance. I am but a programmer, though, and it's been a while since I've had any physics classes, so shrug?
@@Zoladen Yes you would need tremendous power to keep it both stable and at least medium ranged.
Yes, it is theoretically possible.
Unfortunately none has managed to build one.
@@Kronosfobi A bit ignorance and laziness on my part here for not doing a quick search: How many have tried? Or do you know of anyone who has done calculations for the requirements? It would essentially be a lightning gun, so just doing it to try and get slow motion of the arc in a controlled environment would be an awesome endeavor.
@@Zoladen I dont personally know anyone that has tried but i do know around the first years of being able to construct Tesla Towers, there has been attempts or tests to control the electricity but there wasnt any spesific way to do it and even in theory, it required so much energy that eventually it wasnt just worth it.
Next, make a wraith Portal 😂
"Can I have a completely normal ballon filled with air" We all know what that means.. *Fire*
Normally it spins in the game but now its awsome to look at!😍🤘🏼😎
