Tesla Coil
*cont* Their arcs can be purple, or bright white *edged with blue*, depending on the type, size, and current. 99.99 percent of people that build these for fun are boys, but there are the occasional girls, including yours truly. If you want more and more immediate info, ask the people on www.4hv.org. You need to make an account though and the mods do not dig one ounce of spam. The account is free though. They depict these in the movie "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." END :D
It's weird enough to say "I love Tesla Coils" really fast when you are a girl, but it is weirder when you hear a boy say that.

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.

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.

Pikachu
Epic yellow object made from Chuck Norris's guts and Charlie Sheen's blood. A living Tesla Coil. If his lightning was projected in real life, it would be around a hundred million volts, and a few hundred amps. AKA Deadly but awesome. Pikachu hates going into Pokeballs, and controls children's minds through it's total epicness. A male pikachu has a pointy tail, and a female has a heart. Pikachu is the god of adorable, fluffy things and is an apprentice for the god of high voltage, Nikola Tesla. Pikachu might cause seizures when zapping missiles though. Other than that, a tame one is extremely cuddly. Pikachu lost a lot of weight from the first season to now. That doesn't mean he's any less adorable and cute!
Today's kids will never know why Pikachu is always out of its pokeball... Pikachu, Plusle, Minun, Pachirisu, and Emolga are all related, according to Bulbapedia. Also, you can tell by looking at them. They all have circles on their faces, and they are all tiny, and they are all cute as fuck.
Joke: What is an electric Pokemon's capacitance measured in?
PIKA-FARADS!!!
*Pika, pico meaning 10^-12, geddit?*
