Electric Arc Speaker

Rebuilt from the ground up, the Electric Arc Speaker is back and better than ever!

I got some new transformers that are smaller, but produce much bigger and better arcs. The only problem is that when the electrodes move too far apart, the transformers can arc internally rather than just try harder to push through the air.

For this reason, and because I don't want to distract from the speaker aspect, I'm pulling back from showcasing the lightning mode of the previous version of the plasma speaker.

The wood box is painted black to provide a contrasting background for the light of the plasma arc. Also the sides are clear to allow visitors to peek inside and see what's making everything go.
