A Tesla coil easily makes it to the top spot on our list of “Mad Scientist” equipment we want for the lab, second only to maybe a Jacob’s Ladder. Even then, it’s kind of unfair advantage because you ...

[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 ...

Electric current is often magic and mysterious. Before people knew about electricity, many natural phenomena appeared as supernatural events caused by angry gods. Fortunately people today know physics ...

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 ...

Technically, this is called Teslaphoresis. The idea is to use a Tesla coil that creates high magnitude diverging electric fields. These fields then can cause nanotubes to assemble into nanowires. Here ...

Easy Tesla Coil project features a wireless transmission of electricity. It is a wireless power transfer project that is achievable with few materials and some basic electronic components. This ...
