Electrum sculpture top 5 facts


Electrum or Electrum (for Len Lye) (Len Lye being a New Zealand artist), is a 1998 sculpture by Eric Orr and Greg Leyh built around the world's largest tesla coil. The coil operates at power levels up to 130,000 watts, 3 million volts and stands 11.5 meters in height. The sculpture is currently installed in a private area at Gibbs Farm in New Zealand, a sculpture park art collection of businessman Alan Gibbs. The top, spherical electrode of the sculpture is large enough to hold a human. The piece was the subject of a 2000 documentary, "Electrum: Science as Art" and the 2011 documentary Lightning Dreams, by Alberta Chu.
