Analysis Of The Tesla Coil

The Tesla Coil was the innovation of a mad scientist experiment with electricity in 1891. This experiment sparked the innovation of inventions in our modern electrical grid. This innovation was created before the conventional iron-core transformer that was used to lighten systems and telephone circuits. The main concept behind the coil is actually fairly simple; this concept is actually fairly simple which uses electromagnetic and resonance force. First of all the developer of this innovation was Nikola Tesla ; a Serbian- American Engineer and Physicist. His first project was the AC motor generator and the development of transmissional technology. His success with this lasted until he had an argument with his boss because of his mad scientist

Now in-order for the Tesla to work it has to go through a series of steps in-order for this project to work as well as it is required. The first step for it work is that it has to be hooked up to the primary coil. As the primary coil is in action the capacitor acts like a sponge that soaks up the charge the primary coil is producing. The primary coil itself must be able to withstand the massive charge and huge surges of current it might produce. The second step consists of the capacitor building up so much charge that it breaks down the air resistance in the spark gap. The third step occurs when the current flows out of the capacitor and down the primary coil creating a magnetic field. The fourth step occurs when massive amount of energy makes the magnetic field collapse quickly and then generates an electric current in the secondary coil. This then leads to the voltage zipping through the air between the two coils; and creating sparks in the spark gap. This energy sloshes back and forth between the two coils several hundred times. This eventually results into the last step which occurs when; the charge in the second capacitor gets so high that it breaks free. This break then leads to the spectacular burst of electric current; which can illuminate fluorescent bulbs several feet away with no electrical wire
