Can Telsa Coils be used as directed-energy weapons, like in Command and Conquer? I hope so, then I can REALLY have some fun with my plastic army men! Their is no way that a tesla coil could be used the way they are in C&C. with the high frequency you would have the skin affect and you might not be able to damage anything, that and there is no way of directing the discharge. but fear not Tesla did come up with a "particle beam" which could destroy 10,000 airplanes 200 miles away and potentially be more deadly than your nukes, actually the range is only really limited by the curve of the earth. needles to say nobody believed him, they also didn’t believe that he could split the earth in two, but all the experiments and machines he invented worked so he could very possibly have been able to do it. So if his coils don't satisfy your destructive fantasies then the particle beam or death ray might

Second, zap France, then Germany, then Russia, and any other countries that tick me (or GWB) off. Thirdly: Destroy Palestine and prevent an Isreali/Palestinian treaty from ever occouring (in other words, delay End Times)

Hate to burst you bubble, but the death ray only exist in the mind on Nicola Tesla. Before his death he tried to get the allied governments to buy it (at the start of WWII) but nobody believed he could do it, during the cold war the US and USSR took great panes to try and figure it out.

I think that one of these death ray things would violate a few of the residential codes in your neighborhood.

not to mention possibly blow out a power plant or two.

Yes, that's it. Is it possible to convert a plasma ball into a Tesla coil? Or is that a "do not attempt at home" thing? NEWThis just in, info on plasma balls: all they are, more or less a TC that discharges through a rarefied gas. So to answer your question, no it already is a TC but if you tried to take the glass ball of or something like that it probably wouldn't be very exciting because the voltage in a plasma ball is much lower. wow what a long silence nothing since July 23 that means it's been a 3 days of nothing!
