I don't know anything about tesla coils, but wouldn't it interfere with
the radar's ability to do its job?

Good point.  What exactly does that little pine-tree-shaped TV antennae do?

Two things, One: The Tesla Coil is based on Tesla electricity studies. its sends
a bolt of Lightning into its target. How they aim, I have no clue. If this plain
electricity interferes with radar, I don't know. Two: Hey, I'm going by what I
see in the game! Its not MY fault if they mess up.

Looks like that's what the real ones do as well. Zap anything nearby.

Tesla coils do indeed generate broad band noise. I have medium sized unit
here at home and it wreaks havoc on local televisions, radios, and cell
phones when I turn it on.
