Description

Project Description: This project involves constructing a Tesla Coil, a type of resonant transformer circuit designed by Nikola Tesla. The coil generates high-voltage, high-frequency electrical discharges, demonstrating principles of electromagnetic induction and resonant circuit behavior.

The Tesla Coil consists of a primary coil with few turns of wire, connected to a high-voltage power supply through a spark gap and capacitor bank. The secondary coil, with many turns of wire, is tuned to resonate with the primary coil. The interaction between these coils creates high-voltage discharges that can be observed as electrical arcs from the top load.

This project showcases the capabilities of wireless energy transfer and high-frequency electrical phenomena. Due to the high voltages involved, safety precautions are crucial to prevent accidents.

Applications:

Demonstrating principles of electromagnetic induction and resonant circuits
Exploring wireless power transmission and high-voltage phenomena
Educational tool for understanding high-frequency AC generation and electrical discharges
Practical applications in radio frequency experiments and wireless power research
