  2. Tesla coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_coil

    Tesla coils are used for entertainment at science museums and public events, and for special effects in movies and television. Unipolar Tesla coil circuit. C2 is not an actual capacitor but represents the capacitance of the secondary windings L2, plus the capacitance to ground of the toroid electrode E.

  3. Ground effect (cars) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_effect_(cars)

    IndyCars did not use ground effect as substantially as Formula One. For example, they lacked the use of skirts to seal off the underbody of the car. IndyCars also rode higher than ground effect F1 cars and relied on wings for significant downforce as well, creating an effective balance between over the car downforce and ground effect.

  4. History of the Tesla coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Tesla_coil

    The Colorado Springs apparatus consisted of a 51-foot-diameter (15.5 m) Tesla transformer composed of a secondary winding (L2) of 50 turns of heavy wire wound on a 6-foot-high (2 m) circular wooden "fence" around the periphery of the lab, and a single-turn primary (L1) either mounted on the fence or buried in the ground under it.

  5. Wardenclyffe Tower - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardenclyffe_Tower

    The Tesla Wardenclyffe Project, Inc. was established in 1994 for the purpose of seeking placement of the Wardenclyffe laboratory-office building and the Tesla tower foundation on both the New York State and NRHP. Its mission is the preservation and adaptive reuse of Wardenclyffe, the century-old laboratory of electrical pioneer Nikola Tesla ...

  6. Colorado Springs Notes, 1899–1900 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Springs_Notes...

    Nikola Tesla's experimental station outside of Colorado Springs. A coil outside laboratory with the lower end connected to the ground and the upper end free. The lamp is lighted by the current induced in the three turns of wire wound around the lower end of the coil.

  7. Orders of magnitude (magnetic field) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude...

    Magnetic induction B (also known as magnetic flux density) has the SI unit tesla [T or Wb/m 2]. [1] One tesla is equal to 10 4 gauss. Magnetic field drops off as the inverse cube of the distance (⁠ 1 / distance 3 ⁠) from a dipole source. Energy required to produce laboratory magnetic fields increases with the square of magnetic field. [2]

  8. Bifilar coil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bifilar_coil

    Non-inductive bifilar winding Nikola Tesla's flat inductive bifilar coil. A bifilar coil is an electromagnetic coil that contains two closely spaced, parallel windings. In electrical engineering, the word bifilar describes wire which is made of two filaments or strands. It is commonly used to denote special types of winding wire for ...

  9. Streamer discharge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamer_discharge

    Due to the low pressure, sprites are much larger than streamers at ground pressure, see the similarity laws below. Large Tesla coil producing 3.5 meter (10 foot) streamer arcs, indicating a potential of millions of volts. Simulation of a positive streamer discharge.
