The Best Way To Cook Hot Dogs: by Tesla Coil

By Gizmodo US Edition on May 6, 2008 at 7:59 PM

The most exiting way to cook hot dogs: connect a chain of 12 hotdogs up and send bolts of multi-thousand volt electricity through them. Awesome, and all thanks to the Nevada Lightning Lab and their 10-foot Tesla coil at Maker Faire ‘08. And amazingly, the coil they used is just a prototype for a 122-foot version they want to build for lightning experiments. Imagine the light show and cookability you’d get from that!
