It is not a Tesla coil, they are voltage multipliers. They take incoming AC ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current ) and turn it into very high voltage DC ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_current ) they are probably Cockcroft-Walton generators ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockcroft-Walton_generator ). The single tower (the round one) shown on Dark Roasted Blend is a Marx Generator ( http://www.electricstuff.co.uk/marxgen.htm )
They are all very cool and I want one (a big one)!
