The Tesla Coil

Image
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

The Russia & Ukraine Crisis

  The Russia-Ukraine Conflict Amidst the tensions between Russia and Ukraine, it is important to understand that why this conflict took place in the first place. We all have been hearing the news and reading the newspapers regarding the matter. We are getting mixed information and as a civilian we are getting confused. The only thing which most of the media news channels are focusing on is 'War' and which may lead to 'World War 3' (especially from the Indian news channels). I am not going into the discussion as to war is necessary to solve the conflict or not; I will leave it for you to decide. We need to first understand the gravity of the situation, so lets dive deep into it! The Dissolution of the Soviet Union : The dissolution of the Soviet Union was a process of internal political, economic and ethnic disintegration within the USSR which resulted in the end of its existence as a sovereign state. The Soviet Union dissolved on 26th December, 1991; and was divided int

The Classical Mechanics, also known as 'Newtonian Mechanics' was founded by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th Century - and since then it provides us the basic foundation of the L

Science & Technology: A Journey from Prehistoric time till modern 21st Century

Image
Since the dawn of human civilization, human species have come a long way in terms of 'scientific advancement' and 'technology'. It's been quite a journey. From prehistoric time till today's modern human civilization, we as a species have been developing 'methods' and 'ways' to make our life comfortable. We know that the prehistoric period roughly dates from 2.5 million years ago to 1200 B.C. It can be categorized into: The Stone age, the Bronze age and the Iron age. The Stone Age: First ever development of technology already begun. The first step was taken towards the better future. 'Making tools and tackles out of stones' - what a brilliant idea that was! our little human minds were capable of thinking that these simple rocks simply just existing in the surface of the earth can be converted into tools and used as hammers, knives, spearheads etc. One thing led to another and within few ages farming and agriculture were introduced, and slo
