A Tesla coil is an electrical resonant transformer circuit designed by inventor Nikola Tesla in 1891. [1] It is used to produce high-voltage, low-current, high-frequency alternating-current electricity. [2] [3] Tesla experimented with a number of different configurations consisting of two, or sometimes three, coupled resonant electric circuits.
Henry Leroy Transtrom (1885–1951) was an American inventor and showman who worked with high voltage electricity.His book, Electricity at High Pressures and Frequencies, [1] (1913) is still used as a guide for constructing homemade Tesla coils.
Cape Fair is an unincorporated community in Stone County, Missouri, United States. [1] It is located on Route 76 and the southern terminus of Route 173. Cape Fair is on the west side of the James River arm of Table Rock Lake. [2] The community is part of the Branson, Missouri Micropolitan Statistical Area. The ZIP Code for Cape Fair is 65624. [3]
[11] [12] [13] In 1897 he patented a device [14] called the high-voltage, resonant transformer or "Tesla coil." Transferring electrical energy from the primary coil to the secondary coil by resonant induction, a Tesla coil is capable of producing very high voltages at high frequency. The improved design allowed for the safe production and ...
Electrum or Electrum (for Len Lye) (Len Lye being a New Zealand artist), is a 1998 sculpture by Eric Orr and Greg Leyh built around the world's largest Tesla coil. [1] The coil stands 11.5 meters (37 feet) in height, operates at power levels up to 130,000 watts, and produces 3 million volts on its spherical top terminal. [2]

Nikola Tesla patented the Tesla coil circuit on April 25, 1891. [4] [5] and first publicly demonstrated it May 20, 1891 in his lecture "Experiments with Alternate Currents of Very High Frequency and Their Application to Methods of Artificial Illumination" before the American Institute of Electrical Engineers at Columbia College, New York.
