The tiny Tesla coil isn’t big and bold enough to throw big sparks, but it will light a fluorescent tube at close proximity. If you like your Tesla coils musical, we have those too.

[Zach Armstrong] presents for your viewing pleasure a simple guide to building a solid-state Tesla coil. The design is based around a self-resonant setup using the UCC2742x gate driver IC, which is… ...

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 typic ...

1. The transformer boosts the voltage. 2. The power source is hooked up to the primary coil. The primary coil’s capacitor acts like a sponge and soaks up the charge. 3.
