Have you ever used EL wire, or felt that it'd be nice to have a wire that lights up, instead of expensive LED strings? How about some that pulse with music? That's what this is for, the EL wire color organ. EL wire is composed of three wires. One big center wire surrounded by a phosporous coating. Two smaller wires are wrapped around it, and connected at the end of the wire. One end is left open, the other connected to the power supply. When about 120VAC at a few kHz is run through it, the phosphorous glows. This is a problem for traditional color organs, as they use either low voltage DC for LEDs, or low frequency AC for incandescent lights. This project accomplishes the music reaction, high frequency, and high voltage issues with a small device. I used it for a tron-style holloween costume that reacts to music.
