Tesladownunders Car Theft Protection

Worried about someone pinching your car? Try this.
A Tesla coil on top of a real performance machine (a Hyundai Getz).
I hired it overnight as I don't own a car.
Details here. This is a 31 second single exposure and is not photoshopped in any way.
My son, Michael, is quite safe in there even if he is a little unsure.

This follows from the related thread about the "Eye of Sauron" and the "Aura of Sauron"

TDU

 

Wow I've been a fan of TDU for some time now and this definitely one of the coolest things I've seen you guys do.

 

that looks awesome!

 

...though 3 seconds later, when the time-space vortex opened, he disappeared in a blinding flash of light and was instantly transported through hyperspace to Epsilon Carinae 9 where he is now the sole male on a planet full of amazon women.

 

Just don't let the hire company see those images. They'd never let you near one of their cars ever again.

 

Gee, some of us have all the luck.

I don't know much about the whole tesla coil thing, but these posts are getting better and better. Was there any damage to the car from the arcs?

 

That is extremely cool. How much for you to come and set one up in my backyard? screw fireworks/laser shows. Teslacoil on new years eve FTW!!!

 

Was he driving at the time?

 

Mate.. if you ever need to borrow a car to do this sort of thing with, just time is so i am in Perth on break and you can borrow mine.

This stuff looks fantastic..

 

well im capped atm, and i was getting so excited to see this thread while it was loading, from the moment i saw the title i was expecting something rad, but this is is truly amazing.

keep up the good work TDU


goose, your game.

 

"when this baby hits 88 miles per hour.. you're gonna see some serious shit"

"you built a.. time machine?! out of a hyundai?"


awesome pic by the way!! yay for faraday

 

Wicked stuff

How was the car afterwards?
(And your son of course )

 

Simply amazing.

 

How many "flux capacitors" did u need to create the space-time consortium bend like that?

 

OMG is that the EA Cult shit, run for the hills! Purple is coming!

WOW i reckon though the Hyundai may have an extra 60KW at the front wheels after flashing th ECU

Simply Awesome and keep it up

Cheers Sammy

 

Well, topgear hit a volkswagon golf (I think) with 600 000 volts or so, didn't do any damage at all, so I'm guessing the car should be fine.

In other news I'm moving to wherever this guy lives

 

Nothing short of amazing, I've never seen this before. Very cool indeed

 

I started laughing as soon as I saw the thread title....you didn't disappoint

 

Best guy ever.

These threads are too good for the science forum, can we keep them in the pub for all to enjoy?
