Tesla coils are beautiful examples of high voltage hardware, throwing sparks and teaching us about all kinds of fancy phenomena. They can also be quite intimidating to build.

Unlike most Tesla coils, [Teodor]’s design is able to run with a fairly low input voltage because it doesn’t use a static spark gap like most Tesla coils. Instead, his coil uses a relay in ...

Small Tesla coil designed for use by medical profession, 1897 Visit Life and Legacy to get the full story behind the Tesla coil. View Tesla coil patent 454,622 .

We’ve gone full-nerd with high-voltage experimentation—bringing together a laser bazooka and a Tesla coil gun to see which ...

How Tesla coils generate high-voltage electrical fields. (Image credit: by Ross Toro, Infographics Artist) How it works. The power source is hooked up to the primary coil.

The Tesla coil was invented by Nikola Tesla. It goes without saying not to try this at home, with even the similar woodwork technique of fractal wood burning getting a bad wrap for its danger risks.

Tesla invented his coil to do things like light up fluorescent bulbs without any connecting wires, but ArcAttack's coils feature a slightly more modern design, making use of some components that ...

The really large Tesla coils like the one in Colorado Springs, had a third stage of voltage boost which increased the final output to between 10 to 25 MV! Figure 3: The classic Tesla coil schematic ...

Tesla’s Tower would be far more powerful than a small, experimental coil tested in a lab. Figure 1 shows the massive tower that was to be a new universal telecommunications system spanning the ...

Franzoli Electronics' musical Tesla coils are here to perform "One More Time." This quartet of coils plays Daft Punk's hit through an array of sparks. The post Give It up ‘One More Time’ for ...

ArcAttack creates music using two giant structures called Tesla coils, which were invented by the eccentric genius Nikola Tesla in 1891, as part of his dream to develop a way to transmit ...

Everyone loves a Tesla coil. Photographer Rob Flickenger is such an aficionado that he photographed one blazing à la “bullet time” from The Matrix. 100+ Tesla coils blasting in the background ...
