Hundreds gathered at the Thessaloniki Science Centre and Technology Museum on November 4 to enjoy a concert performed by a giant Tesla coil.

The video shows sparks coming out of the 4.5metre high device being modulated to recreate musical pieces, including "Also sprach Zarathustra" - composed in 1896 by Richard Strauss and familiar to many from Stanley Kubrick's science-fiction film, "2001: A Space Odyssey."

"As the organizers explained, the coil can produce different tones by modulating the number of the sparks that the coil emits. What appears to be a continuous burst of sparks is actually a specific number of sparks generated per second," the filmer wrote.

Hundreds of visitors enjoyed a unique concert of a 4,5 metres tall Nikola Tesla coil during the inaugural day of the exhibition dedicated to the Serbian-inventor. The big sized coil transported to Thessaloniki, Greece, from Nikola Tesla Museum, which is located in Beograd, Serbia. As the organizers explained, the coil can produce different tones by modulating the number of the sparks that the coil emits. What appears to be a continuous burst of sparks is actually a specific number of sparks generated per second. Thessaloniki’s Science Center and Technology Museum organizes the exhibition that started on Saturday November 4, 2017.
