How To Construct A Working 250 KV Tesla Coil

At a glance..

This project shows how to construct a device using a step up transformer producing 6000 volts at 20 ma from the 115 ac line. This voltage current combination can produce a painful shock and all attempts should be made to construct this device with some know how or experienced help.

The details..

The BTC3 250 KV Tesla Coil/Lightning Generator is an intriguing guide that provides detailed instructions on how to construct a tesla coil capable of producing impressive electrical discharges simulating lightning bolts. The book explains the general theory behind this fascinating device, including its differences from conventional transformers in terms of voltage and current relationships between primary and secondary circuits.

Readers who are interested in building their own tesla coils will find easy-to-follow steps for constructing one using step-up transformer technology that produces up to 6000 volts at 20 ma from the AC line. Safety rules should be followed at all times when working with such high voltages; therefore, it's important to have some know-how or experienced help during construction.

In addition to providing readers with guidance on how to build their own devices safely, this book also explores various phenomena associated with high-frequency energy discharge. For example, wood may explode into splinters or glow red from within when exposed to these electric fields. Insulating materials seem useless against this energy as well.

Overall, BTC3-250KV Tesla Coil/Lightning Generator offers an excellent introduction for those looking into exploring the world of high-voltage electricity through hands-on experimentation.
