Arguably, the most tedious part of any Tesla coil build is winding the transformer. Getting that fine wire wound onto a suitable form, making everything neat, and making sure it’s electrically and ...

Everyone interested in electronics should build at least one Tesla coil. But be careful. Sure, the high voltage can be dangerous, but the urge to build lots of coils is even worse. [Learnelectronics] ...

Electric current is often magic and mysterious. Before people knew about electricity, many natural phenomena appeared as supernatural events caused by angry gods. Fortunately people today know physics ...

The Tesla coil is a resonant transformer that generates AC electric fields that can power fluorescent lights and neon tubes, as well as produce high-voltage arcs. It is essentially structured as a ...
