What is Tesla Coil ?

hi

hello

Tesla coil consists of two parts: a primary coil and secondary coil, each with its own capacitor.

The two coils and capacitors are connected by a spark gap

a gap of air between two electrodes that generates the spark of electricity.

The Tesla coil operates at a high enough frequency that the current from the output does not penetrate the skin.

So you won't be shocked by it.

But for a large Tesla coil there is enough current that it can burn the skin.

hmmmmmmmmmm

A Tesla coil is a type of resonant transformer circuit invented by Nikola Tesla around 1891.

Due to the high frequencies involved,

Tesla coils can cause severe burns without the sensation of pain

Long Distance Arcing: Tesla coils, by their nature

It is used to produce high voltage, low current, high frequency alternating current electricity,

although Tesla coils produce higher current than the other source of high voltage discharges

produce electrical arcing which can travel unpredictably in any direction and can strike at considerable distances.

lectrostatic machines. Tesla experimented with a number of different configurations

Normally, on tesla coil demonstrations, a medium voltage dc supply is used to charge C1 up to the voltage needed to break-down the spark gap.

they consist of two, or sometimes three, coupled resonant electric circuits.

Tesla used these coils to conduct innovative experiments in electrical lighting,

A Tesla coil is a radio frequency oscillator that drives an air-core double-tuned resonant transformer to produce high voltages at low currents.

phosphorescence, x-ray generation, high frequency alternating current phenomena, electrotherapy, and the transmission of electrical energy without wires.

Tesla's original circuits as well as most modern coils use a simple spark gap to excite oscillations in the tuned transformer.

one or more high voltage capacitor(s), and a spark gap to excite a multiple-layer primary inductor with periodic bursts of high frequency current.

The multiple-layer Tesla coil transformer secondary is excited by resonant inductive coupling,
