Today our audio guys and I visited the Tesla Forum exhibition "Nikola Tesla Exhibit" which has working (mostly) machines of Tesla's. See link here for the event information. Both Mark and Trent had a go at recording sounds and playing with an active Tesla Coil. We hope to use these recordings as reference and possibly clean up the sounds to actual use in game.
