Tesla Coil Lightning Car Protection SciFi

This is the coolest anti-theft device ever.  He calls it the Eye of Sauron.  I think it looks more like Emperor Palpatine's force lightning, but I'm a huge nerd. 

There are more pictures of his Tesla coil from his web page.

Unfortunately, the photo is time lapse and the effect in real time isn't quite so daunting to thieves. On the other hand, I always wanted a Tesla coil. I tried building one as a kid, but a winding a million windings on the secondary coil was a little more tedious than the average teenager can take.
