1.5 Million Volts of Musical Lightning
Generating an incredible 1.5 million volts of raw throbbing musical electricity, the Zeusaphone ZFX-160 is a beast of a Tesla coil that will leave you speechless in amazement and wonder. Standing an impressive 7 1/2 feet tall, you won’t believe your eyes as you watch   13 foot long arcs of electricity  fly in all directions, locking on to the ground and nearby metal objects with blinding blue and white fury! You will literally feel the vibrating energy of the massive eletromagnetic field course through your entire body by merely standing within close safe proximity, a truly indescribable experience that must be seen and felt in person to understand.

Professional Quality for Entertainment and Scientific Research
Professionally built with high attention to detail, the 2022 ZFX-160 features an extremely high quality construction process with only the best quality components, ensuring reliable performance in the most demanding of applications. Check our famous ZX-160 at Portland’s Quarterworld Arcade,  a star attraction since 2016 with ongoing shows 3 times a week (see the inverted coils on our Video page). Our Deluxe Custom ZFX-160’s are also on permanent museum display by the Museum of Science and Technology, and our latest ZFX-160 MK IV is now being used in live shows and cutting edge biomedical research.

Amazing Quadraphonic Musical Capability:
Capable of playing up to 4 channels of MIDI audio, the ZFX-160 creates the ultimate Tesla coil experience with double the sound complexity of our Z-series Tesla coils. Additionally, with double the max current handling ability of the ZFX-120, it is also our richest sounding system of all with the deepest, fullest sounding bass notes. With all that extra current, the electrical arcs are also even brighter and more impossibly intense than ever before!

Ultimate Reliability:
Our world-class system design includes these critical features to ensure smooth, reliable operation:

Current-control system: Active current control circuitry prevents excessive current draw to protect power switching electonics.
High-Voltage Circuitry Protection: The possibility of sparks connecting with control circuitry on the base is not a concern, as in most common designs that self destruct when such an event occurs!
Thermostatic Control System: Automatic thermal regulation prevents overheating of vital components, allowing for care-free operation and long run times, with no heat checking required for reliable performance.
Pulse Capacitors: The heart of any Tesla coil, our fully-rated, extremely durable polypropylene pulse-capacitor bank has been perfect balanced via exhaustive experimentation to deliver the highest degree of performance possible. What is crucial to note is all Chinese-made Tesla coils and even US-made cheap imitations push their capacitors far beyond their rated limitations, even going to far as to place cooling fans on them, as if this helps the fact that the internal dielectric is quickly disintegrating. Thus, no other Tesla coil in the world can offer the level of guaranteed reliability as only the original Zeusaphone offers.
One Year Warranty: Provides full support and protection against any functional defect for one year.

Zeusaphone Support:
Anyone with a reasonable amount of technical ability can be instructed how to get the most from the Zeusaphone ZFX-160 with help of our detailed user manual and expert technical assistance. Upon receiving your system, we instruct our customers how to set up their system, maximize performance and ensure safe operation. The value of this technological expertise cannot be understated, and will be offered to our select customers for a limited period of time.

This Fully Featured System Includes:
-ZFX-160 Power Base: Featuring marine-grade, UV-resistant polyethylene base material, chrome steel supports and full metal through rods, the ZFX-160 base is extremely rigid and durable.
-Heavy Duty Power Electronics: The immensely powerful 13,000 Watt RMS full-bridge of IGBT modules provide generous power handling capabilities beyond the system’s maximum power draw. Coupled with a huge 12″x12″ aluminum heatsink and 4 high output 120mm fans, the ZFX-160 has enough power handling capability for the most demanding of applications.
-Extra Large Electrolytic Capacitor Bank: Allows for smooth, clear, pop-free audio playback for at least 10+ years to come.
-Fully Rated Pulse Capacitor Bank– Fully rated, expertly tuned and balanced for maximum efficieny and system performance. Designed to last well over a decade of 100% solid performance.
–Extremely Thick Epoxy Coated Secondary Coil: Our unique process allows for an extremely thick and durable coating, with a resulting thickness of up to 50 coats of typical polyurethane. While providing superior electrical insulation, it can also take a beating without compromising functionality.
-Copper Toroid: A 42″x9″ copper spiral toroid sets it off, allowing for production of beautiful side branches.*Spun aluminum toroid as pictured is available at an additional cost. Inquire for details.
-Optional Spun Aluminum Toroid: A spun aluminum toroid is optionally available in place of our copper spiral toroid. Additional lead time required.
–Musical/Pulse Controller: This system includes a truly world-class, fiber optically isolated dual-channel MIDI musical audio controller. Capable of intelligently interpreting MIDI audio with stunning clarity, individual on controller dials allow for mixing track volumes to produce the absolute best sound possible.
-Industrial Grade Variable Power Transformer: Included with this system is an industrial-grade Powerstat variable power transformer, allowing for the ultimate degree of control over spark length. Used to control input power, it also acts as a master control for balancing the two MIDI tracks. *not pictured
-Pulse-Generator: Built into the musical controller, the variable frequency pulse generator allows adjustable control over pulse frequency from 100-500HZ and duty cycle for operation in non-musical mode.
-Fiber Optic Cable: Connection from the Tesla coil to the musical controller is provided with an included 15M long fiber optic cable. This great feature helps keep the high voltage isolated for maximum performance and reliability.
-USB to MIDI Adapter: We have included a bonus USB-to-MIDI adapter for connection to a PC or Mac computer, and a collection of our best MIDI files to get you started.
-Custom Verisons Available: Classic HD, Faraday-suit tunable and Museum exhibition models are available as pictured, in addition to other customizable styles.
