Coolest Security Alarm Ever

A reader just sent in this photo of what appears to be the "coolest security alarm ever" for your car. It basically consists of a giant Tesla Coil mounted atop the car's roof, emitting an electrical forcefield to fend off would-be thieves.

Definitely not fake or photoshopped. This guy is an Australian tesla coil enthusiast, but also experiments with many other dangerous and spectacular projects. Check out his site at: http://tesladownunder.com/

Actually, not a fake. Although, technically, it's a fraud. The tesla coil is real. Just not the force field. The guy rotates the ground rod (Needed to produce arc-over) around the car using something (Note: The purple circle). The he sets the exposure time to about 60 seconds, and rotates the ground rod at about 4 rpm, generating plenty of arc-over and producing the "forcefield". So, technically, its not a car alarm either, because to make this kind of installation mobile would cost major power. You don't want that amount of batteries in the hood of your car; the car suspention would not like that. Anyway, long story short; To turn off the alarm, pull the plug on the tesla coil. (Follow the cord emanating from the car to the socket it is plugged in) Cool photo though..

I stand corrected. It is not photoshopped. It is a rotating arm trailing a wire. The tip of the wire causing the majority of the discharge, and the light purple 'force field' effect is due to coronal discharge along the conductor. As assembly is moving, it does not appear on any of the timed exposures.

even if its a fraud, i dont think it would be wise to pass the "force feild". and i doubt its plugged into the wall, why not just the engine of the car or battery?
