: Title :
Tesla Coil
APPLICATIONS OF TESLA
The Tesla Coil is a machine for generating extreme high voltages. It's
sort of like the Van De Graff generator, but much more powerful. When
you fire it up, the shiny donut/sphere-shaped part on top is energized
with about 500,000 volts of high-frequencycurrent. The Teslacoil
useshigh-frequency transformer action together with resonant voltage
amplificationto generate potentials in the range of tens to hundreds, or
even thousands of kilovolts.
About 100 years ago Nikola Tesla invented his "Tesla Coil". Tesla
invented his coil with the intention of transmitting electricity through the
air. He conducted much research in this area. He purposed using a few
coils spread across the globe to transmit electrical energy through the
earth. Wherever power was needed one would need only a receiving coil
to convert the power into a useful form.
Tesla coil circuits were used commercially in spark gap radio
transmittersfor wirelesstelegraphyuntil the 1920s, and in electrotherapy
and pseudomedical devices such as violet ray. Today,their
main use is entertainment
and educational displays.
Tesla coils or resonant transformers of high frequency and high potential
have been usedin many commercialapplications; the only variationbeing
the high voltage is used to produce an effect other than a spark. Although
not all commercial applications for Tesla coils are still in use some
historical and modern day applications including:
Spark gap radio transmitters
Induction and dielectric heating (vacuum tube & spark gap types)
Induction coils (differ only in the transformer core material being
used) Medical X-ray devices (typically driven by an induction coil)
Quack medical devices(violet-ray)
Ozone generators
Particle accelerators
Electrical stage shows & entertainment
Generation of extremely high voltage with relatively high power levels.
RESISTOR :
A resistor is a component that opposes a flowing current( A resistor of
22k resistance is used in the project). Every conductor has a certain
resistanceif
COMPONENTS
one applies a potential difference V at the terminals of a resistor, the current
I passing through it is givenby:
I=V/
This formula is known as Ohm’s Law. The SI unit of resistance is Ohm
(Ω). One can show that the power (in J/s) dissipated due to a resistance is
equal to :
P=V
CAPACITOR
A Capacitor is a component that can
store energy in the form of an electric
field. Less abstractly, it is composed in
its most basic form of two electrodes
separated by a dielectric medium. If
there is a potential
difference V between those two electrodes, charges willaccumulate on
those electrodes: a charge Q on the positive them.
An electrical field therefore arises between them. If both of the electrodes
carry the same amount of charge, one canwrite:
Q=C
V
INDUCTOR
An inductor stores the energy in the form a magnetic field. Every
electrical circuit is characterized by a certaininductance. When current
flows withina circuit, it generates a magnetic field B that can be
calculated from Maxwell- Ampere’s law:
MAGNETIC WIRE
Magnet wire or enameled wire is a copper or aluminum wire coated
with a very thin layer of insulation. It
is used in the construction of
transformers, inductors,
motors, speakers, hard disk
head actuators,
electromagnets, and other
applicationswhich
require tight coils of wire. The wire itself is most often fully annealed,
electrolytic ally refined copper. An aluminum wiremust have 1.6
timesthe cross sectional area as a copper wire to achieve comparable DC
resistance. Due to this, copper magnet wires contribute to improving
energy efficiency in equipment such as electricmotors.
BATTERY
An electric battery is a device consisting of one or
more electrochemical cells that convert stored
chemical energy into electrical energy. Each cell
contains a positive terminal, or cathode, and a
negative terminal, or anode. Electrolytes allow ions
to move between the electrodes and terminals, which
allows current to flow out of the battery to perform
work.
Primary(single-useor"disposable")batteriesare used
once and discarded; the electrode materials are
irreversibly changed during discharge. Secondary
(rechargeable batteries) can be discharged and
recharged multipletimes; the original compositions of the electrodes can
be restored by reverse current.
ON/OFF SWITCH
ON/OFF switch is used to on or off
the power supply in thecircuit.
A simple on/off switch is being used
in the model.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
FARADAY’S LAW OF MAGNETIC INDUCTION :
“Theinduced electromotive force inany closedcircuit is equal tothe negative
of the time rate of change of the magnetic flux enclosed by the circuit.”
According to which, when a conductor is placed under a varying
magnetic field, a small current will be induced inside the conductor. For
a Tesla coil this conductor will be called asthe secondary coil and the
varying magnetic field will be produced by the primary coil by passing
an oscillatingcurrent through the primary coil.
MAGNETIC FLUX:
Magnetic flux is the number of magneticfield lines passing
through a closed surface (suchas a conducting coil).
