I designed and built the Tesla coils and there came along "The Hacking Gentleman"

It took me a split second to realize why you weren't citing the source. So this phrase was just adapted into the book? I'm starting to fear you.

Sorry, which book? Feeling like I missed an in-joke here...

I had a go on this. It was awesome fun. It happened on a whim - it was noticed the tesla coils were powered by audio, and we could easily get audio output from a kinect.

Audio? What if instead of kinect, we used a microphone ? Maybe voice activated lightnings or a continuous electrical background for your phrases. A whole new meaning for "thundering voice".

it is driven by pure sine waves -- you can't have polyphony or voice spectra (easily...)
