Electrical Arc Speaker

This project is to create a speaker that produces sound via varying an electrical discharge arc. This could be either a single discharge arc or a tesla coil. The focus is to produce a quality demonstration system that can be used for many years to showcase what ECE students are capable of. There is an existing design from the previous course year. Your goal is to improve the appearance, sound quality and add features.

Objectives


A stand alone arc speaker with a built in audio source so that a user only needs to press one button to get a demonstration.

Motivations


We want to have a physical example of the quality of work our ECE students are capable of.
