Danger: High voltage!

Join Prof David Ricketts as he takes you from a simple static shock to 100,000 Volts of musical tesla coils! Sparks and shocks have entertained science lovers for centuries and for good reason! Discover what's behind many high-voltage electric machines, including spark generators, ion-powered motors and aircraft (one to be flown in the theatre!) with the help of several Tesla coils. This talk will involve flashing lights, electromagnetic fields, and some loud noises.
