The Lightning Foundry is a project spearheaded by San Francisco-based electrical engineer Greg Leyh. Following his ambitious plan in 2006 to build a lightning generator capable of shooting electric arcs across a football field, he is now building 10-storey high Tesla coil towers. In order to demonstrate the kinds of super-long electrical discharges -- similar to lightning -- that such a tower could create, he paired with artist Eric Orr to engineer the high-voltage 4-storey tower called "Electrum" in Auckland, New Zealand. While this tower is the largest operational Tesla coil tower in the world, the largest one ever built -- 18 storeys tall -- was actually constructed by none other than Nikola Tesla himself (it was never fully operational, however, due to funding issues).
