So, Jack, you going to tell me
about your tesla coil?
:52:43
You said you didn't want to hear about it.
:52:45
Yeah, but that was a while ago.
:52:49
I don't know if I want to talk about it.
:52:55
Come on, Jack.
:52:56
You dragged it all the way down here
in your little red wagon.
:52:59
Come on, just tell me about it.
:53:05
I built it based on the inventor
Nikola Tesla's original designs.
:53:10
It's an air transformer...
:53:13
with primary and secondary coils
that are tuned to resonate.
:53:17
It's basically a step-up transformer...
:53:20
which converts relatively low-voltage
high current to high-voltage low current...
:53:24
at high frequencies.
:53:27
Do you remember...
:53:29
when we were kids,
you had a little Barbie makeup mirror?
:53:33
Yeah, I remember that.
:53:35
It had a little fluorescent light on it?
:53:39
Nikola Tesla invented fluorescent light.
:53:42
Without him,
we wouldn't have alternating current...
:53:45
radio, television, x-ray technology...
:53:49
induction motors, particle beams, lasers.
:53:53
None of that would even exist,
if it weren't for him.
:53:56
Or the rock band, Tesla.
