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.
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]

Tesla coils producing brush discharges and streamer discharges are displayed for entertainment at science fairs and rock concerts. The ability of an electrical discharge to cause an explosion in flammable atmospheres is measured by the effective energy of the discharge. The effective energy of brush discharges is 10-20 mJ, much larger than that ...
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.
