It's called Li-Fi, we looked into it for our office. It is a wireless signal being transmitted by the overhead lights. We looked at that tech several years ago. It's been out for a while.
LiFi is an idea where you could have something like 40Gb a second of wireless data by using LED lighting that pulsates like this to transmit rather than radio. It would be amazing however it wouldn't work without line of sight, and it wouldn't work if you turned off the lights.
The conversion is good, but the problem is the bandwith of each device, I'm not sure the light bulb is really made to blink that fast. In the other hand the spark has a quite high pitch.
@@nonothebot If you thought about the brightness, It doesn't need to go fully on and off. Just vary intensity a little. The electrical analog would be a DC biased sine wave. The solar cell panel would generate a DC biased sine wave signal. Removing the DC bias need only a capacitor. Then the signal passing through the capacitor can be amplified.
That would be such a dope way to hide a recorded message in plain sight. Have a small hidden tesla coil next to a room's light bulb and when someone turns the lights on, the recorded message signal is sent to the coil which in turn lights up the bulb. All they see is constant light, due to the high frequency, but someone with the right device can get close and decode the light into sound.
Transmitting sound through light is so old that a when I was in high school in the early 90s, there was a project that used an LED to transmit sound (and it was old back then too). One circuit to modulate the LED output from a sound input, and another photo-sensor and circuit to turn the signal back into sound. I went with another project though, instead I made a bug/spy transmitter, that was so much more useful.
This is the basic concept of how Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc work. Signal being sent out into general area, but only those whose devices are given the de-coding algorithms can make any sense of those signals.
based on the little knowledge how most tesla coils are made prob not as much as you would think. Most have a way to step up the power from an outlet. Like a capacitor but a tesla form of it. But thats for like table top type ones like you see in the video. The zues musical teslas i am not sure if its the same concept or not.
@@mitchyitchy3 Musical tesla coil uses silicon conductors to act as a spark gap. The plasma speaker may consume more power but I heared that it acts as a very good tweeter. If the membrane used in tweeter is lighter, it can vibrate air at higher frequency, which is why paper cone is used in tweeter. The plasma speaker uses air so its virtually weightless.
I’ve been a commercial HVAC technician so long that when a VFD fires up any motor I can tell if it is at 100% 60hz or not. In fact in some cases I can hear the frequency is off a little I know the motor is going bad. When I hear the golden hum noise permitted by the VFD I can tell it is working perfectly; especially in amp range, of service factor of course. Lol
SilentKnightXD it wouldn’t be possible now... All the tall vehicles (Mostly Semi Trucks) would get caught in the path of the plasma, causing major destruction, making it impossible in modern days... Very advanced back then, though!
K, primary reaction... I type in, "can you really make music with Tesla coils?" And then *this* guy shows up!? I've seen so many of his action lab videos I was surprised to find this guy answering my question. Hot dang. Carry on.
That was the coolest thing I have ever seen. that was mind blowingly amazing to see the light converted to music, I rang dat bell and shared the crap outta this.
@Unsesquipedalian Yeah, and a Tesla coil of this size is pretty low-power. That’s also why it’s safe for him to sit right next to it with no grounding and with a metal ring on.
TH-cam recommended me this video after watching the AscendTech - Bluetooth Tesla Coil. I was wanted to watch something more about the Tesla Coil and I guess the this The Action Lab video is a great choice to do this.
When you bring your hands near the coil you actually detune it and reduce the 'Q' factor which causes the output voltage to drop. Imagine making a pendulum but with a water paddle. Your hands loads down the output significantly.
This was one of those big brainifying galaxy moments of understanding revelation on how light, sound... ANYTHING can have a frequency, and it blew my mind so hard I shouted "THE ROAR OF AN ENGINE IS THE SUM OF THE EXPLOSIONS IN THE PISTONS!?" in my room at 8:30 pm on a Wednesday x'D I loved this
I love this channel cuz that was freakin nuts, I knew most of how Tesla coils made sound, but I didn't know it's electric field could wirelessly power a light or the light converting speaker, that was awesome
Saying that is like saying "oh I knew a knife could kill people but I didn't know it was used to cut food" like, brother that's sort of the main purpose of the invention xD
@@martinrodriguez1329 I know way more purposes for a knife than that, what I didn't know was what a Tesla coil was capable of, it's not my field of expertise I didn't study it to any extent, I just know what people show off like in the video, other than taking my finger in a light socket I don't have any real need for a Tesla coil so I haven't studied Tesla coil
@@MudOregonVet Let's hope good people put these towers up and not big pharma cause we all know they'd find a cure for whatever electrical burns people get 🤣 Tune in 2030, 6G making people's phones explode. WAIT, its already happened 🤣
I taught high school physics for a year and built my own Van Der Graff generator almost entirely from parts I bought at Bed Bath and Beyond. When I asked for either a silk scarf and glass rod or rubber belt and plastic rod, they were very confused. I ended up using a pilates belt and a rolling pin covered in scotch tape to generate the static electricity, two colanders covered in aluminum foil for the capacitor, a shelving unit for the housing and other similar tools. It was powered by a drill using a Lego wheel for friction with two CDs for guidance and used a power cord in which only the ground was connected to ground the machine. I got some very funny looks taking that thing on the NYC subway on my way to work.
Would have been nice if we had a video like this when I was taking my signals processing class, would have made it more relatable...especially with how confused I felt in class.
broooo111 you just blew my mind lol I had no Idea! I just built my very first tesla coil and you just showed me a whole other side of it! thank you so so much! =)
Important note: There **IS NO DIFFERENCE** between "static" electricity and "regular" electricity. unless you define static as a just an accumulation of charge on a surface (like a capacitor). The Van de graaff generator is just a constant current source that has no theoretical upper bound on the voltage achievable. It achieves it by the triboelectric effect. Tesla coils rely on transformers and resonant rise to achieve a similar goal.
Did anyone else notice how "warm" the sound was when coming through the light source? I wonder if that's a similar effect that creates the love by some audiophiles for vacuum tube amplifiers.
Or it's just the way that speaker sounds. But the coil definitely would sound different considering it's a completely different mechanism for sound production.
The light 💡 phosphors will take a (very small) amount of time to brighten and dim to the music, which will round off sound waves, similar to how an analog tube amp is used to smooth (or “warm”) the output from a digital media source.

Thunder - Imagine Dragons or Thunderstruck - AC/DC, feels fitting.
I would love to hear Through the Fire and Flames by Dragonforce!
any PINK FLOYD song

By omitting many details. But the best principles are simple and he explains them well.
@@jhoughjr1 Not like school science has to go into more detail. It just needs to create an interest
I'm surprised the sound quality is that good after so many conversions.

I got real excited around 7 seconds when you started messing with the power inversion to the speaker! This taught me a lot. Thanks!

It also doubles as a wireless power source if used correctly.

He lowkey proved this by 'absorbing' the voltage- technically- HE was the transmitter for a hot second

Or it's just the way that speaker sounds. But the coil definitely would sound different considering it's a completely different mechanism for sound production.
Depends on the color temperature of the light.
The light 💡 phosphors will take a (very small) amount of time to brighten and dim to the music, which will round off sound waves, similar to how an analog tube amp is used to smooth (or “warm”) the output from a digital media source.
because it uses an actual speaker. tesla coil is bad at lower fequency.
