[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 ...

Using a powerful electric force emitted by a Tesla coil, scientists at Rice University have made carbon nanotubes self-assemble to form a circuit linking two LEDs and then used the energy from that ...

This “pancake” inductor wound with copper tubing forms the primary of the Tesla coil. The heavy black wire connects to an adjustable “tap” that allows tuning of the primary circuit. The elevated ...

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 ...
