(REUTERS) - Images from Fujian province where a band, Thunderbolt Craziness, specialises in producing electric arcs, and tesla coils that are charged with one million volts of electricity, and are in sync with the music they play.
Members from Thunderbolt Craziness are now working on 1.8m high tesla coils which will be able to generate 4.2m long electric arcs in an attempt to create a new record for the longest electric arc in China.
Band members wear handmade Faraday suits to protect them from high voltage electricity.
