Being from the Red Alert games, the Tesla Coil is modelled from Red Alert 2 including custom textures for lightning & primary weapon. Used by the Soviet Union in the Red Alert games, brought into Generals with a custom icon thanks to SharpShark.
Just as I posted this, I became aware of Another Tesla Coil! Not meant to look like RA2, these Double Tesla Coils are hooked up to a laptop and actually play Super Mario Brothers music. The Tesla Coil, the veteran base defense of the Red Alert series in league with the Obelisk of Light. It does however achieve the result using special effects which I will explain.Ģ A real Tesla coil cannot make ultralong sparks and it can't direct them specifically to a point (like the enemy). This guy in Australia has done a heck of a lot of work making a real life Tesla Coil! Granted, they don't work in real life like they do in a game, but with a couple of enhancements, he was able to create a magnificent photo of a lifesized teslacoil zapping people.ġ This is a single photo from a Nikon D70s digital camera and is a 17 second exposure of a real functioning Tesla coil and is the result of perhaps 100 hours of preparation.
