PenguinKing Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 This is one of the more novel arrangements I've seen. Not strictly a "remix", since it duplicates the original chiptune note-for-note, but the instrument it's played on is worth a few geek points - and it may serve as a point of interest for anyone with a background in audio engineering. http://www.videosift.com/video/Super-Mario-Bros-Theme-by-Tesla-Coils (My apologies if this has already been posted; a search for "Tesla" didn't turn up any hits, so I figure I'm covered, but I may simply be blind.) - Dave.

PenguinKing Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 If you mean I should have posted in that thread, my bad - that's what I get for only checking in here once every six months or so. ^^; (If, on the other hand, you mean it's already in been posted there, for that I make no apologies - I'd much rather look like an uncultured dork than spend an evening sorting through seven hundred posts worth of ambiguously labelled URLs. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Taucer Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 That just might be the coolest and geekiest thing I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mono Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Awesome. This one (link courtesy of Wikipedia) is possibly even awesomer: http://www.hauntedfrog.com/gt/movies/2007/duckon/SingingTeslaShow.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Zero Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Haha, that's awesome. I wish I was geeky enough to even know how to get them to sound like that...unfortunately I know nothing of Tesla coils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Author Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Was is played with the coils or were the coils used as the notes were played? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenguinKing Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 Was is played with the coils or were the coils used as the notes were played? It's played with the coils. Continuous electrical discharges aren't really continuous - they "flicker" at a frequency ranging from kilohertz to megahertz, imparting a vibration of similar frequency to the air through which they pass. Coincidentally, the lower end of that range (about 10-20 kHz) falls within the range of human hearing; with a bit of engineering, you can modulate the discharge frequency with surprising precision.

Shadow Wolf Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 So... correct me if I'm wrong. All the engineers have to do is tell the coils when to discharge and how hard, and they can basically play the air around the discharge? What did the second video mean about 41 KHz sparks and long fiber optics and such? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maco70 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Does this really warrant its own thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
