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 ...

If you have a thing for Tesla coils (and who doesn’t really) you will be interested in this experiment/history lesson about wireless power put on by Omega Recoil at this year’s Maker Faire. During the ...

Nikola Tesla was a visionary thinker, making experiments which still aren't fully understood today. But even the inventor of AC current wouldn't have foreseen this Flash Gordon style wireless plasma ...

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] ...

To investigate the electrical realm of high-frequency and high-voltage, Tesla invented an apparatus that pushed the limits of electrical understanding. None of the circuit's typical components were ...

Picture a reclusive man, dripping sweat all night in a dark lab, illuminated only by crackling sparks that leap from enormous machines and cast a purple glow across his face. This is Nikola Tesla, the ...

An oversized Tesla coil is a movie and a photograph which are blowing out lightning violently. The Tesla coil is also big, so the lightning is also getting thick. If you are doing such experiments in ...
