Tesla coils are truly mesmerizing physics toys that can shoot lightning at metals around you. Nikola Tesla invented them in 1891. The idea was to explore wireless transmission of electricity but nowadays they are used to teach physics or put on electric performances. This handheld tesla coil is a new model that generates electric arcs up to 3.15 inches. We had a chance to test a larger version of this with 100kv of power but this one is much more portable and easier to handle.
This handheld tesla coil gun can light up alcohol. It can also excite Neon and other gaseous elements. You will just have to flip a switch to turn it on and push a button to activate it. Since it is powered by battery, you are not limited to where you can use this. The design is completely safe, so you won’t zap yourself accidentally. Just don’t poke anything with the discharge needle.
