Can Tesla coil really create music and can it be taped by camera or all those videos are fake. How does it work?

Edited by Amaranth

yes it can play music by varying its frequency its not exactly good at it but you can force it to. much like you can play music on your floppy drive, printer or scanner.

 

yes, you can film tesla coils. i'm not really sure how it would be impossible.

 

basically a tesla coil is a large resonanting transformer turning low voltage AC into high voltage AC which undergoesa corona effect with the air.

 

the electric sparks super heat the air which creates shockwaves we hear as noise and due to the high frequency, we can modulate it to produce sound in the audible frequency range.
