Aside from the inventive Tesla automotives, many of us have seen videos of homemade tesla coils and other electrical inventions from YouTube.  Here are some really cool pics of Tesla lightning and some more about the artist and scientist:

A self-professed “child of science,” Frei originally worked on the mechanical side of electricity, before switching to the artistic realm as a lighting designer. Now his works blend engineering craft and an artist’s eye, a hybrid method that helps ensure his camera captures striking images without collapsing at the hands of high voltages. In addition to the Tesla coil shots, Frei has fashioned miniature wool clouds. Some produce miniature lightning, while others glow with embedded LEDs.

Here is the list of 8 cool pictures and an awesome Tesla coil video.  It is not often that a scientist turns artist but in this case the gentleman shared his creative works with us:

We hope you like these renderings and keep enthusiastic about science and the works of Tesla!
