Tesla Tree, Tesla Tree: Merry Christmas from the Eye of Sauron

Oh sweet Jesus, what is this? Some guy in Australia has been making Christmas trees out of Tesla coils. Granted, what I know about electricity is not a lot. But isn't Australia flammable? The guy's name is Peter, and he is a fiftyish year old physics drop-out. He says on his website: "This year I plan to do another Xmas tree based on the success of the one two years ago in 2007. I plan to make it bigger and more spectacular and I will use a different technique. I will still use a long exposure and a rotating colored filter but the tree shape will be outlined by sparks from a rotating rod on top of the Tesla coil. This gives the "Eye of Sauron" effect."

Australia, if you are wondering where all your electricity is going, you might want to talk to this guy.

You need to click the link to see these pictures,they're seriously wild.

This is the link to his site.

"Isn't Australia flammable" -- If my Kiwi husband read that' he'd probably say, "Yeah, but who cares?" ("friendly" rivalry between Aust. and NZ)

The pictures are incredible, but it does look like a really dangerous idea.

Sweet! I would replace my tree just for that.

Simply awesome.
