  • • Video ArcAttack auditioned for America's Got Talent. ArcAttack employs a unique DJ set up of their own creation to generate an 'electrifying' audio visual performance. The HVDJ pumps music through a PA system while two specially designed DRSSTC's (Dual-Resonant Solid State Tesla Coils) act as separate synchronized instruments. These high tech machines produce an electrical arc similar to a continuous lightning bolt and put out a crisply distorted square wave sound reminiscent of the early days of synthesizers. i filmed this video @ makers faire san mateo expo center.... web site: www.arcattack.com
    ArcAttackmusic youtube channel:
    / arcattackmusic
    For what it's worth:
    I managed to get in with a free ticket to Maker Faire 2010 in San Mateo California on May 22 (first time i ever went) as i was walking to the inside building Arc Attack started their show looked interesting so i walked over and began filming by accident i became a maker at the Makers Faire lol :D
    All thanks goes to ArcAttack for their amazing perfomance !

    @bmxerv 11 лет назад

    OK sorry I think it was not exactly clear what I meant. I wanted to say that the tones of the sound are produced by a sound device, not by plasma itself,then amplified. So,the discharges are kind of 'speakers' but not sources of the sound. Which,btw, means that if you replace a guy waving his hands by a peace of metal the same height, nothing will change in the sound. See my other comment. Also, I followed your advice and tried to google it. And I just found that my first idea was exactly right.
