My Tesla Coils |
 |
Firstly, this site was not intended to introduce you to the scientist and inventor by the name of Nikola Tesla (pictured above), so I have not bothered to add an introduction to him, if you want to find out more about the great man, try a web search on his name, you really will be amazed at how our lives are affected by his inventions.
Secondly, Tesla Coils by their very nature are potentially deadly pieces of apparatus, both to living beings and other electrical appliances !. They are easily capable of generating high frequency, high voltage discharges in the range of 1 to 20+ feet !!. If struck by one of these discharges, you can suffer serious RF burns to the inside of the body which can take surgery and a very long time to heal, you may not feel it because of the high frequency, but the damage will be done.
They are definately not toys and should only be constructed by people with at least some knowledge of electricty, high voltages and spark discharges. If you choose to copy any of my design solutions, you do so entirely at your own risk and must accept the consequences of doing so.
And so to my projects...
