Engineers seek funds for world’s largest Tesla coil

Engineers in the U.S are hoping to build the world's largest Tesla coil capable of shooting 250ft arcs of electricity.

Although the project has a serious scientific purpose, it would also be a massive spectacle expected to draw in huge crowds.

Called The Lightning Foundry, the huge structure would stand ten stories high.

Ambitious: Engineers in the U.S are hoping to build the world's largest Tesla coil. This would be of interest to scientist Peter Terren who created these huge electric sculptures using a Tesla coil in Australia

The man behind the project, high voltage engineer Greg Leyh, wants to see how lightning gets so efficient at transmitting electricity.
