English: Circuit diagram of a Tesla coil, a spark-excited resonant transformer circuit invented in 1891 by Nikola Tesla. It generates very high voltage, radio frequency alternating current electricity at low current levels.
This is a modern unipolar version of the circuit used for entertainment coils, in which one side of the secondary is grounded and the other side is connected to a toroidal-shaped capacitive high voltage terminal. A slightly different form of the circuit, with the positions of the capacitor and spark gap exchanged, is found at Tesla coil 3.svg

It is interesting to note that rigorous mathematical descriptions of Tesla's Magnifier did not become available until 50-100 years after Tesla's pioneering work. Modern analyses have succeeded in applying distributed "transmission line" descriptions of the "extra coil" rather than the usual lumped-constant analysis.
English: An experimental Tesla coil circuit to duplicate the discharges of a Holtz electrostatic machine, from Tesla's 1892 lecture before the Institute of Electrical Engineers, London, England. Following the initial research of voltage and frequency by William Crookes, Nikola Tesla developed a series of coils that produced high-voltage, high ...
