| has gloss | eng: The musical Tesla coil, aka Singing tesla coil is a variation of a solid state Tesla coil, that has been modified to produce musical notes by modulating it's spark output. The resulting pitch is a low fidelity square wave like sound reminiscent of an analog synthesizer. The actual method of music production is by means of a PIC microcontroller that is programmed to interpret MIDI data, and output a corresponding Pulse-width modulation(PWM) signal. This PWM signal is coupled to the Tesla coil through a fiber optic cable, and controls when the Tesla coil turns on and off. |
