Electricity TheaterOpens July 2-2013With "singing" Tesla coils, this exhibition experience features dazzling displays of lightning set to music. Be mesmerized by zaps of lightning appearing just a few feet away in our newest visitor experience, Electricity Theater! This science show experience features a dazzling display of indoor bolts of musical lightning produced by twin solid-state Tesla coils. Watch the dark theater become splashed with light, and allow that spark in you to ignite as you explore the excitement of electricity and all that goes with it: Lightning, conductors, insulators and storm safety. Yes, folks, it’s MUSICAL lightning! Built by ArcAttack, a performance art group that many may remember from season five of America’s Got Talent, Tesla coils in the RMSC’s ElectricityTheater are frequency tunable, meaning they can play music, whether it’s the Super Mario theme song, a Lady Gaga hit or “Dueling Banjos.” Merely control the pressure waves radiating from the coils, and the tunes emit. In other words, we change the musical tone of the “thunder” the lightning produces. The coils can play pre-loaded music and those talented musicians among us can even play a keyboard or guitar live, with the coils serving as speakers |
