My next thought was, "Why?"
Certainly there is a reason why someone decided to build all this, right? I looked around and found this video featured on a number of particularly geeky sites. None of them really said much about WHY though.
So, what this is is a quadrotor model helicopter that has been placed inside a Faraday cage. The conducting mesh of a Faraday cage shields that which is inside it from electric fields. For example, a Faraday cage may be used to protect sensitive electronics (or an orange clad woman and friend) from lightning strikes.

The Faraday cage protects the electronics of the helicopter in the video from the electric fields generated by the Tesla coils.
So, basically the WHY is nothing more than - It's Cool!
Then again, apparently adding a Tesla coil to anything will make it cool.

Um... yeah... Nice green dress...
