Tesla Coil

The  is an item added to Fallout 3 in the Broken Steel add-on.

Description
The Tesla Coil is the last component to the Tesla Cannon.

Location
The Tesla Coil can be found in Olney Powerworks. You have to make sure all the switches are off around it before you take it. If you do take it with the switches on you will lose a good amount of your hit points.

Alternatively, there is a room next to the coil with a computer terminal inside requiring 75 science to hack. That terminal releases a failsafe that allows you to get the tesla coil. Inside the room is a pack of mentats that should help boost your science score.
