An Electrifying Christmas Tree by Tesla Downunder

Zo, dat is weer eens een heel ander soort kerstboom. Dr. Peter Terren is erin geslaagd om met wat enorme stroomstoten en met behulp van wat techniek verbazingwekkende beelden te creëren.
A physics fanatic down under is having a very Tesla Christmas this year, creating a 30-foot electrifying display of yuletide cheer by attaching a rotating rod to the top of a Tesla coil, making for quite the colorful Christmas tree.
Using such specialized science tools as a fishing rod and sinker, household power, and a Nikon D300, physician and Tesla buff Peter Terren manipulated 500,000 volts at a time to produce these images.
Using what he calls “electrickery,” Dr. Terren known for a few other Tesla coil adventures including an electro-colorful remake of Rodin’s “Thinker” used a really long exposure on his camera, several different lens filters and his knowledge of physics to create the high-voltage scene, manipulating the rod to create different visual effects.
