You know what's amazing, look how close the setup is to the computer, and it didn't fry it, I would have thought something like that would cause some major interference.

There's also a German article with a short setup diagram at

and a short ~2MB video of the bang at

Pity that it is not a "contained" plasma ball, more like a plasma "smoke ring". Interesting though that the plasma is greenish. Maybe due to ionized natrium / chlorine from the salt water. Wonder if other salts would result in other colours :-)

The German site's diagram shows a 5 kV DC supply and 500uF capacitor bank, that's a few kJ, and more like can crusher than tesla coil.
