AUDIENCE SAFETY

1) Safety Perimeter

Our performance areas design keeps audience members a safe distance from the high voltage electricity. This perimeter is marked by crowd barricades and monitored by Safety Personnel.

2) Safety Personnel

Trained safety personnel are stationed around the perimeter of the performance area. Their job is to observe the crowd and prevent breech by audience members or foreign objects and to initiate our Emergency Shut-down procedure should anything occur.

3) Emergency Stop Procedure

Our Tesla Operator’s sole responsibility during a performance is to hit the emergency stop button should a breech of the perimeter occur. The Operator is in communication with the Safety Personnel and is monitoring the perimeter throughout the performance. Emergency shut down takes a fraction of a second.

How much space do you need to do a show?

  • Under each package in our EPK you can find the Minimum Safety Area that must be free of all audience members in order to produce an incredible show.

  • If you have more space, we can power up the coil so that it creates even longer arcs. Let us know how much space you have and we can create a safe and spectacular show within those dimensions.

  • If you have something within our safety area, we can often shield it with a faraday cage. Contact us if you are unsure if your space meets our safety requirements.

Lightning Dancing and Lightning Throwing... What’s the difference?

  • In Dancing shows, the performer(s) dance across the stage as they manipulate arcs of lightning that radiate from the Tesla Coil itself.

  • In Throwing shows, the performer stands atop a platform and throws lightning bolts down towards lightning rods or performers on the stage. In these shows the performer on the platform is the source of lightning.

  • Some show packages include both Throwing and Dancing. In these, the finale features the performer standing on the platform throwing arcs of lightning down to the dancers on the stage.
