The Tesla Coil
Nikola Tesla "If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of Energy, Frequency & Vibration" - Nikola Tesla 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 circuits typical components were unknown at that time, but its design and operation together achieved unique results - not the least because of Tesla's masterful refinements in construction of key elements, most particularly of a special transformer, or coil, which is at the heart of the circuit's performance. Such a device first appeared in Nikola Tesla's US Patent No: 454,622 (1891), for use in new, more efficient lighting systems. A Tesla Coil is an Electrical Resonant Transformer Circuit. It is used to produce High-Voltage, Low-Current, High-Frequency Alternating Current electricity. (Tesla experimented with a number of different configurations consisting of two or som
