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.

Get the Tesla Coil mug.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.

Get the resistance is futile mug.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.

Get the DRSSTC mug.AP Human Geography A slightly interesting but utterly useless AP course taken by mainly ninth graders thought up by College Board. Most colleges don't look at it, and it's only use is if you get an A in it, you get a weighted 6 for your weighted GPA, which colleges don't look at either. (They look at unweighted, so if you do terrible in it, you're fucked)
Guy 1: I got a 5 on my APHG test!
Guy 2: Who cares? It's an easy course.
Guy 1: At least there's the credit.
Guy 2: Colleges don't look at that.
Guy 1: At least I have the weighted GPA.
Guy 2: Colleges don't look at that either.
Guy 1: At least I have an A.
Guy 2: You could have saved the trouble and taken a regular course.
Guy 1: At least it was interesting.
Guy 2: That's opinionated, and is an invalid argument.

Get the APHG mug.Embarousing is a portmanteau of embarrassing and arousing. It's used when you're embarrassingly aroused by something. It can be used in context of a sexual guilty pleasure.

Get the embarousing mug.Sleeping Beauty Syndrome. (Kingdom Keepers series). A state when a DHI (Disney Host Interactive/Daylight Hologram Imaging, depending on the context) falls asleep in reality, and his or her DHI is stuck in a Disney park, unable to return to his or her body. The person is stuck in a coma until their DHI is able to return.
Finn: Maybeck is stuck in Sleeping Beauty Syndrome, man!
Willa: Yeah... SBS....
Finn: We need to get him to the fob so he can Return!
Charlene: He's stuck somewhere in Disney; we know that!
Jess: We need to find him! Jelly is worried of her poor boy's comatose state!
Willa: Yeah... SBS....
