Tesla Christmas Tree.  Designed by Peter Terren.

Remember when I said that Tesla coils were being used mainly for our entertainment these days?  I wasn’t kidding.  Artist and enthusiast Peter Terren has created his own colorful Tesla-coil enhanced Christmas tree!  He used slow exposure photography (about two minutes per shot) to capture this phenomenon in action.  He even stepped into one of the shots (see above); this highly dangerous risk probably led to one hell of an electrical shock.  Be sure to check out more shots of Terren’s creation in the gallery below; the images really are incredible.
