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.
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.

The great inventor Edison recognized Teslas abilities, but because of Tesla's preoccupation with arc light technology, Edison did not want to support Tesla's work in this area. Edison felt that arc lights were old, cumbersome and antiquated. Thus, in 1886 Tesla broke away from his position at the Edison concern and founded the Tesla Electric ...
1891 Tesla coil. A Tesla coil is a type of resonant transformer circuit invented by Nikola Tesla around 1891. Nikola Tesla used these coils to conduct innovative experiments in electrical lighting, phosphorescence, x-ray generation, high frequency alternating current phenomena, electrotherapy, and the transmission of electrical energy without ...
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.
The Tesla Experimental Station [1] was a laboratory in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA built in 1899 by inventor Nikola Tesla and for his study of the use of high-voltage, high-frequency electricity in wireless power transmission. Tesla used it for only one year, until 1900, and it was torn down in 1904 to pay his outstanding debts.
English: Circuit diagram of a unipolar Tesla coil, a spark-excited resonant transformer circuit invented in 1891 by Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla, which produces high voltage, radio frequency alternating current at low current levels. This is a modern unipolar version of the circuit used for entertainment coils, in which one side of ...
