If you’ve ever wanted to build a Tesla coil but found them to be prohibitively expensive and/or complicated, look no further! [Richard] has built a solid-state Tesla coil that has a minimum of parts ...

The folks who successfully crowdfunded a DIY singing Tesla coil kit last year have taken to Kickstarter again to bring a smaller version into production. Like its older and bigger brother, the ...

This “pancake” inductor wound with copper tubing forms the primary of the Tesla coil. The heavy black wire connects to an adjustable “tap” that allows tuning of the primary circuit. The elevated ...

[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 ...

Electric current is often magic and mysterious. Before people knew about electricity, many natural phenomena appeared as supernatural events caused by angry gods. Fortunately people today know physics ...
