@Jethro! haha I was thinking the same thing!  I can now officially die a happy man.

Wait a minute, we "need" somebody to build a flying Tesla coil.

The linked site wouldn't work for me but is looked too cool to not search youtube for a more direct link...  For others having trouble, this might work:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqyubVwOV7w

Imagine if the tesla coils actually powered the copter. I mean drone.

I think I seen some thing like this a year ago that actually powered the copter I think it was under the heading Energy power transfer ? I remember discussing it with /Munroe?

Also useful for flying your quad in rowdy Country&Western bars.

I don't think I'd torture a drone like this. When they become sentient, which probably isn't that far in the future, people who do things like this may have to hide. :-)

Darrell,

Robots love stuff like this.
