Toto’s “Africa” played on Tesla coils

This is genius!  This is using your noggin!  This is amazing!  This guy found yet another weird way to cover Toto’s “Africa”.  This guy programmed Tesla coils to play the song!  The most interesting part, according to Franzoli Electronics, there’s NO speakers or special effects involved.  Just plain ole brain work!

According to the post, the coils are playing ALL the music.  The music played “due to the programmed phase, pulse width, and firing frequency.” Whatever that means, it sounds super cool and looks like an amazing light show!  This is super intelligence  and creativity working together in total harmony!
