Two things that are always coolheaded : Tesla coils and Nerf guns . One thing that ’s cooler than those two things : a freaking Tesla ringlet Nerf gunslinger . That ’s good . Rob Flickenger converted a Nerf gun into a hand-held Tesla coil . Freaking . Sweet .
Here ’s how Flickenger and Rusty Oliver of theHazardFactorymade the gun Tesla spiral - ready :
He made an Al interpretation of the plastic plaything . He gathered cans , scrap metal , and even a wheel fender and run it all down . Then he and Oliver created a cast of the Nerf gun out of backbone and clay and poured in the molten aluminum . After it harden , Flickenger milled supernumerary alloy from the inside using a CNC simple machine and cleaned up the edges with a orbitual peter .
Flickenger , who taught himself the physics of in high spirits - emf electrical energy , used a transformer from an quondam TV , a battery from a power drill and a fan from an older computer waiter for the Tesla coil circumstances . mark off out the video recording below and see the skill behind the Tesla Coil Nerf Gun atPopSci .
