INVESTIGTORY PROJECT ON TO :-
"TESLA COIL" UNDER THE GUIDAN
Mrs. ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
DURING THE ACADEMIC SESSION 2022-23
PURPOSE OF PROJECT
THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO
MAKE TESLA COIL
which is basically a spark gap radio transmitters
used in wireless telegraphy and in medical
equipment
such as electrotherapy and violet ray devices. Today
their main use is for entertainment and educational
displays, although small coils are still used as leak
detectors tor high vacuum systems
THEORY
A Tesla coilis a padio frequency ascillator that drives
an air-core double-tuned resonant transtormer to
produce high voltages at low currents. Tesla's
original circuits as well as most modern coils use a
simple spark gap to excite Scllations in the tuned
transtormer. More saphisticated designs use
transistor or thyristor switches or vacuum tube
electronic oscillatorsto drive the resonant
transformer.
Tesla coils can produce output valtages from 50 kilovolts to
several million volts for large coils. The alternating current
output is in the low radio frequency range. usually between
50 kHz and MHz Although some oscillator-driven coils
generate a continuous alternating current. most Tesla coils
have a pulsed output the high voltage consists of a rapid
string of pulses of radio frequency alternating current.
University of llinois student Steve Ward and fermilab senior
technician Jetf Larson developed twin Tesla coils capable of
emitting 12 feet (4 meters) of sparks Among his numerous
innovations.
Nikola Tesla dreamed of creating a way to supply power to
the world without stringing wires across the globe. The
inventor came close to accomplishing this when his "mad
scientist" experiments with electricity led to his creation of
the tesla coil The first system that could wirelessly transmit
electricity the tesla coil was a truly revolutionary invention.
Early radio antennas and telegraphy used the invention. but
variations of the coil can also do things that are just plain
cool-like shoot lightning bolts. send electric currents
through the body and create electron winds,
Tesla developed the coil in l891, before canventional iron-
core transtormers were used to power things like lighting
systems and telephone circuits. These conventional
transformers can't withstand the high frequency and high
voltage that the looser coils in Tesla's invention can
tolerate. The concept behind the caill is actually fairly
simple and makes use of electromagnetic force and
resonance. Emplaying copper wire and glass bottles. An
amateur electrician can build a Tesla coil that can produce a
quarter of million volts.

The setup
A Tesla coil consists of two parts a primary coil and secondary coil
each with its own capacitor. (Capacitors store electrical energy just like
batteries.) The two coils and capacitors are connected by a spark gap-a
gap of air between two electrodes that generates the spark of
electricity. An outside saurce hooked up transformer powers the hole
system. Essentially the Tesla coil is two open electric circuits
connected to a spark gap. A Tesla coil needs a high-voltage power
source. A regular power source fed through a transformer can produce
a current with the necessary power (at least thousands of volts)
In this case a transformer can convert the low voltage of main power
into the high voltage
How it works

The power source is hooked up to the primary coil. The primary coil's
capacitor acts like a sponge and soaks up the charge. The primary coil
itself must be able to withstand the massive charge and huge surges of
current, so the coils usually made out of copper, a good conductor of
electricity. Eventually. the capacitor builds up so much charge that it breaks
down the air resistance in the spark gap. Then. similar to squeezing out a
soaked sponge. the current flows out of the capacitor down the primary coil
and creates a magnetic field. The massive amount of energy makes the
magnetic field collapse quickly, and generates an electric current in the
secondary coil. The voltage zipping through the air between the two coils
creates sparks in the spark gap. The energy sloshes back and forth
between the two coils several hundred times per second.
and builds up in the secondary coil and capacitor. Eventually the charge in
the secondary capacitor gets so high that it breaks free in a spectacular
burst of electric current the resulting high-frequency voltage can illuminate
fluorescent bulbs several feet away with no electrical wire connection. In a
perfectly designed Tesla coil when the secondary coil reaches its maximum
charge. the whole process should start over again and the device should
become self-sustaining. In practice. however, this does not happen. The
heated air in the spark gap pulls some of the electricity away from the
secondary coil and back into the gap, so eventually the tesla coil will run out
of energy. this is why the coil must be hooked up to an outside power
supply. The principle behind the Tesla coil is to achieve a phenomenon
called resonance. This happens when the primary coil shoots the current into
the secondary coil at just the right time to maximize the energy transferred
into the secondary coil.
Think of it as timing when to push someone on a swing in order to
make it go as high as possible. Setting up a tesla coil with an
adjustable rotary spark gap gives the operator more control over the
voltage of the current it produces. This is how coils can create crazy
lightning displays and can even be set up to play music timed to bursts
of current. While the Tesla coil does not have much practical application
anymore. Tesla's invention completely revolutionized the way electricity
was understood and used Radios and televisions still use variations of the
Tesla coil today.
