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 ...

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 ...

The role of J.P. Morgan in getting Tesla's Tower built. The fundamental operation of a Tesla coil. Dealing with EMI generated by a Tesla coil. When I lived in Long Island, N.Y., I had a most ...

The "Infinity Coil," the central component of the Dark Age Defense system, is thought to have its origins in Nikola Tesla's work. It's interesting to note that the developer of the Dark Age Defense ...

If you’ve never seen a Tesla coil in person, it’s a remarkable experience. Purple plasma flashes in unpredictable, wide-reaching bolts. The sound cracks with more fearsomeness than a whip. The air ...

Calling all Tesla fans! Electrical engineer Greg Leyh and his team at the Lightning on Demand organization (LOD) in California are raising the funds necessary to build the world's largest twin Tesla ...

Nikola Tesla’s contributions to modern technology can’t be overstated, and the fact that some of his original designs are so darn cool to look at is really just icing on the cake. But even he probably ...

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 circuit's typical components were ...
