See Also: 3E20.20

The singing Tesla coil kits will operate in two modes.  The first mode operates as a regular Tesla coil for lighting gas filled tubes from a distance, putting sparks through paper, and to operate a pinwheel. 

The second mode is the singing Tesla coil mode.  One of the kits allows you to pair the coil by Blue-Tooth to a computer or cell phone and then to play some square wave music.  We have a folder of music available for you to pick songs from.  The other singing Tesla coil kit allows you to plug in a cell phone, computer, or i-Pad directly to the coil and play the music that way.  Patch cables are available for this option.
