Pretty dang cool,

So am I correct in thinking that they basically built a one bit dac? I guess if the coil is either on or off, that's all you could do but if you can vary it's amplitude, I think a few more bits would help the sound tremendously. But I don't know if that's possible with Tesla coils.

I think it's PWM. Pulse width modulation.
