Once finished, wrap a tight piece of tape around the top and bottom of the coil and spray it with 2 or 3 coats of enamel. A Tesla coil is an electrical resonant transformer circuit designed by inventor Nikola Tesla in 1891. A Tesla coil needs a …
This can create 3 feet long glowing arcs, sparks and corona glows of exceptional beauty. In this section, we’ll explain how the oneTesla 10” coil can reach voltages over a quarter million volts using coupled resonant circuits. A Tesla coil is made of two parts: a primary coil and a secondary coil, each with its own capacitor. Essentially, the Tesla coil is two open electric circuits connected to a spark gap. An outside source hooked up to a transformer powers the whole system. The Tesla coil is well-known for producing extremely high voltages.

The Tesla Coil generates 500,000 volts of high frequency electricity.

Every 20 or so turns, put a ring of masking tape around the coil to act as a barrier if the coil starts to unravel.

While very intense, and more than a little intimidating at close range, the beautiful light created by these arcs will mesmerize you, as they have me.
