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.
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 worked on a number of other inventions, including a transformer that would change a low voltage to a high voltage by means of safe A.C. electric current. This transformer came to be known as the Tesla coil. The scene depicted herein shows the interior of the Electrical Building at the 1893 Columbian Exposition, Chicago, Illinois.
English: Circuit diagram of a modern unipolar W:Tesla coil, a spark-excited resonant transformer circuit which produces high frequency high voltage alternating current at low current levels. It was invented by Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla in 1891.
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.
