The Return of Our Good Dr Megavolt!

Many art installations are wild and imaginative.  I think Austin Richards got both requirements down pat.  Dr Austin Richards has been building these amazing Tesla Coils himself since 1981, and he uses them to create a spectacular light show.  I discovered his work last semester and thought it was too cool!  The guy has two physics degrees, a metal suit he runs around in to attract his homemade lightening, and he then proceeds to get zapped repeatedly for show.  What not to like?  

He's got a website, too:  http://drmegavolt.com/burning-man-2011/
