crotch watch

You know how guys stare at boobs at the mall? The same way, girls and homosexual guys stare at the genital region of passing people.

Guy 1: Actually... it's men who crotch watch (other men); most women don't.

Tesla Coil

*continued* It's simplest to build one that is one to two feet tall. The simplest one to build is a SGTC. The easiest way to build one is with a transformer, connected in parallel to a spark gap connected in parallel to a capacitor connected in parallel to the primary coil and a secondary coil of about 1200 turns of magnet wire placed inside the primary coil and a topload (it has to be of a shape with no edges, such as a sphere or a toroid--donut shaped) on the secondary. The secondary is then grounded to a copper pipe in the ground. The transformer needs to be at least 7500V 30mA. Yeah, DO NOT TRY IT AT HOME unless you know what you are doing or want to electrocute yourself. SGTCs cannot be audio modulated. It can be with an extra part but the noise would be drowned out by the spark gap. If you yell and can still hear yourself, you didn't make the spark gap right. To make sure you get the values right, you can go to JavaTC. It's a free online software for SGTC building. You can download it online. For more details on how to build one, buy or torrent "The Ultimate Construction Guide to Tesla Coils" or something.A slightly harder one that requires previous knowledge on electronics is a SSTC. They aren't as hard as DRSSTCs, but these ones are nice because the arcs are pretty safe to touch without a faraday suit and they are the fun, audio modulated ones.

I like them tesla coils huge.

Tesla Coil

Read above post also. The most epic thing ever made. There are multiple types, such as Spark Gap Tesla Coils (SGTC), Solid State Tesla Coils (SSTC), Dual Resonant Solid State Tesla Coils(DRSSTC), Vacuum Tube Tesla Coils (VTTC), and High Frequency Solid State Tesla Coils (HFSSTC) , and much more. All Tesla Coils are transformers. They look like weird, thin, and shiny towers. Their size can vary, from the 3 inch tall desktop models, to the 7 feet tall garage models, to the 200 ft tall Lightning Lab models. I need to explain over couple of posts because there isn't enough space to contain all the awesomeness I am about to explain.

I love Tesla Coils. The longer, taller, and wider they are, the better. The more powerful the Tesla Coil, the better. I love that white stuff coming from that top. The more of it, the better.

I need a constant stream of water on my secondary coil when shining it. I need to put one coat of polyurethane on it, sand it down in the water, poly it again, and sand it down, about 10 times for a nice shine. It gets pretty cold outside so I just take it into the shower with me.

Cyrusing

To take a picture or make a video (of you or someone else) licking a random object in an extremely sexual manner in the style of Miley Cyrus.

Guy 1: Why are you licking that lamp?
Guy 2: I'm cyrusing.
Guy 1: I guess you really love lamp.

electrophilia

To get off by anything to do with electronics, esp. shocking one's self, mainly in the genital areas. It is thought that this action is pleasurable. Different people have different limits to the electrophilia. Some people enjoy a gentle tickling, while others love intense pain from it, which is why sometimes this fetish is related to BDSM. Some people use home built machines to do the job, others use TENS machines. There's also a device called the violet wand in which is not that powerful, and is usually used with people that don't like strong currents, or people that don't know much about electricity. There are the obvious dangers of electrophilia, including a risk of burns, paralysis, and electrocution. One that has electrophilia is called an electrophile.

Guy 1: I just walked in on Sally shocking herself in her genitals!
Guy 2: Oh, Sally has electrophilia. She gets off to getting shocked.

Guy 1: Doesn't that hurt?
Sally (done shocking herself): No, I find it rather pleasurable.

Nikola Tesla

In a phrase Nikola Tesla > Charlie Sheen, Nyan Cat, Chuck Norris, and any other so-called win people added, then raised exponentially to the power of a googolplex. This dude invented the polyphase alternating current system, fluorescent lighting, had OCD (especially with the number 3), caused an earthquake, might have invented a time travel machine but blueprints destroyed in lab fire, was the true inventor of radio, helped develop a necessary logic gate called an "AND" gate, and lots more. The best thing he did though, was invent the epic win Tesla Coil.

Nikola Tesla was far more influential on out lives than Edison, yet he gets only a paragraph, if any in textbooks. Nikola Tesla = WIN. And sadly he's dead and asexual. He's also somewhat hot.

DRSSTC

Dual Resonant Solid State Tesla Coil. These things are pure awesomeness and one, can be over a million volts of lightning, and two, can be used to play music.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice is the only analogy I can give. Remember that scene when Dave takes Becky down into his lab and asks her to "get into his cage?" Remember the big lightning machines? Those are real DRSSTCs. They are a type of Tesla Coil, along with SGTC and SSTC. Well, the lightning in that was special effects for safety reasons, but the sound and device is real, invented by Nikola Tesla.
