What is Tesla's coil?

Tesla Coil is a resonant transformer invented by a large and eccentric scientist Nikola Tesla, also attributed to the invention of AC Power and radio. Its primary purpose is to produce large, beautiful sparks, get the hair of children to stand at the end and generally demonstrate the energy of electricity for humanity. The cloud of free electrons that produces can also wirelessly supply a florescent lamp that is close to, but the device is too loud, expensive and tight to become a practical energy transmitter.

Nikola Tesla developed its coil in the early 90s, inspired by the early result of electricity research. Tesla coil is based on a device called induction coil, spark coil or archaic, ruhmkorff coil. It consists of two coils of insulated copper wire wrapped around central iron. The first coil, primary, consists of several tens of revolutions of coarse copper wire. The secondary coil is many thousands of revolutions of a much finer copper wire. When Kurznt is powered by a coil, in the primaryM assembly of a strong magnetic field. Sudden cutting in the current causes the field to collapse and release energy into the surrounding environment, over secondary. Because of many turns of the secondary edition, it causes a thousand volts to release and creates a visible spark when it jumps over the gap to the terminal.

The main part of the Tesla coil is an induction coil, but also includes a specially designed disturbing coil, two powerful capacitors and a discharge target, usually a metal ball connected to the wire that connects to the coil, and creates a complete perimeter. Capacitors are used to store large amounts of electricity for steep and visually stunning discharge.

Today, building Tesla coils and observing their beautiful sparks and observing their beautiful sparksfand. The largest tesla coil in the world releases 1.5 megavolt stream and produces sparks 20 ft long.
