If this isn’t one of the simultaneously cool and nerdy videos that you’ve ever seen, then you’re just too hard to impress. The motivation behind the Science & Engineering posts on this blog are to show people that learning isn’t always about dry math and boring analysis. Figuring out how things work and then turning around and using it to your advantage can be fun and improve the things that touch your life. Case in point: this video. The band playing the music is called ArcAttack. They built two custom Tesla coils that shoot half million volt arcs up to 12 feet. There’s also a robot drummer and LED light show to go along with the live members of the band. This particular performance was shot at this year’s Bay Area Maker’s Faire where Adam Savage gave a speech before agreeing to get inside the Faraday cage while ArcAttack! performed. Without the pursuit of science and inventing, we would be devoid of awesome things like AC/DC literally being played with lightning.
