Tesla Coil Help with Tesla Coil math formulas please?
I already have the Tesla Coil. I want to measure the inductance of the secondary coil. Can I do that without using my Fluke LCR Meter? I have also an volt/ohm meter from Radio Shack. I think there's some math formulas I remember from elctronics classes where you can find other ways around using the LCR meter. If you can't do it one way, you can do it another?
What is your operating frequency? Because I have an idea, and you will need the components and meters described below. Choose a frequency which is at that operating frequency.
Do you have a function generator or borrow one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_generator
Have a collection of resistors ready. You can get lots of them in variety kits at the same place you mentioned, Radio Shack.
Is that other meter an AC voltmeter? You will need one.
Now apply about 10 VAC or so across a resistor and the coil in series.
The AC voltmeter will measure the voltage across the resistor. Then do the inductor.
This is trial and error, adjust or change the resistor value until the two voltages are equal.
The formula you are probably thinking about is:
XL = R = 2 π f L
XL is inductive reactance
R is the resistance
f is frequency
L is inductance
π of course is pi

As a scientist and businessman, Nikola Tesla saw his fortunes reverse as many times as his alternating current method of conducting electricity. Born in Croatia, Tesla found his way to America where he met fellow inventor Thomas A. Edison. However, the two brilliant men did not share similar methods of experimentation and soon parted ways. Tesla soon drew the attention of businessman George Westinghouse with his alternating current (AC), a method of delivering electricity more efficiently and over greater distances than Edison`s direct current (DC). With Westinghouse`s support, Tesla`s method soon became dominant in the industry. Emboldened, Tesla set up a laboratory in Colorado, where his electricity experiments soon attracted attention both good and bad. Though this was where he built his famous Tesla coil, which turns a small amount of electricity into a great spark, Tesla also claimed here that he received messages from aliens in outer space, discrediting his legitimate advances. Again, Tesla`s luck seemed to alternate on a positive course with backing from J.P. Morgan to build a station on Long Island to broadcast messages and information wirelessly to the world. However, the tower soon ran over budget, and Tesla`s fortunes had fallen again. Today, Tesla`s legacy is on the rise his insights and theories about wireless transmission and communication are hardly out of place in a world dominated by cell phones and Wi-Fi. Nikola Tesla outlines what biographers have discovered about Tesla and explores both his amazing achievements and his stunning failures.

What's The Difference Between A Tesla Coil And An Ordinary Transformer? - How To Create Free Energy To Power Your Home
I just got a mini-lecture from my high-school physics teacher about Tesla Coil and air-cored resonant transformer. But I just can't understand what he says...I only understand the ordinary step-up or step-down transformer. So, can anyone make it clear...what's the difference between a Tesla coil and an ordinary transformer?
Click here ==> tesla secret electricity, to learn how to put together your own Tesla Generator to power your home for free!
NB: Do not use "extravagant" or "high-level" words...because my vocabulary is not that good, use "everyday" English if you can... An ordinary air core transformer has a pair of interwoven coils and when a changing current is forced in one of the pair another current is created in the other coil because the first makes a changing magnetic field which always makes a changing current in any wires in the field. The currents are tightly coupled, meaning one increases or decreases closely with the other.
A Tesla coil circuit plays games with the coils by adding capacitors and operating at high frequency with the result that the voltage in the second set of coils is much higher than is created by the ratio of the number of coils (and the current much lower.) This very high voltage shows as sparks.
One sloppy analogy might be that if you push a baby in a small baby swing you normally have to keep your hands on the seat and keep pushing or it stops pretty quickly. But if you are on an outside swing, you can give a push at just the right moment and speed and get the swing higher and higher. The Tesla coil uses a capacitor with the coils to give that kick at just the right time to boost the voltage.
Okay, if the transformer outside my home did the things a Tesla Coil does, life would certainly be more interesting. You simply must look up Tesla Coils on You Tube. There's nothing like it. This lightning looking freaky deaky electricity from Satan comes out the top and demonicaly latches on to whatever is nearby. Looks dangerous. Then you will find You Tubes of people letting the Tesla Coil pet them like they are a little kitty. It's wild.
There is this guide that contains step-by-step instructions on how to make a Tesla Generator. The guide is called: Tesla Secret Guide. Since the publication of The Tesla Secret Handbook, tens of thousands of people allover the world have used it to build their own personal Tesla Generators and are now powering their homes for free!
Do you want to learn how you too can generate free electricity to power your house at no cost? If yes, then you might want to download a copy of the Tesla Secret Handbook.
Fuel Artificial Should current crude oil prices really be that high?
While acknowledging that current oil reserves worldwide are continuously being depleted, it seems to me that oil prices are now being governed not by supply and demand issues, but are being fuelled ( pun intended) by artificial worries based on "What if" scenarios, none of which have actually happened. Are we then just being taken for a ride by oil companies?
I love this question, because there are other sources of fuel besides oil and we could use them if we really wanted or needed to. As long as there is still anykind of demand and people are willing to pay the outrageous prices the will keep charging, crazy amounts of money, but your also right by the fact that its dpleting so eventually it wont really matter, maybe thats the real reason they are charging so much their squeezing all they can out of what they've got left.
This volume focuses on possible solutions to long-standing problems in the development of artificial synthesis. These answers will not be easy to find and some highly innovative research is called for. Considerable progress has been made in understanding the fine details of natural photosynthesis and there has been an emergence and growth of nanotechnology. This discussion will look at applying new knowledge to the old problems. There is a growing conviction that the only real prospect for our long-term energy provision relies on the ability to collect and store sunlight in the form of chemical potential. The creation of artificial systems to exploit the basic chemistry of photosynthesis to produce hydrogen or other fuels is a concept that crops up each time there is an escalation in the price of oil. In addition, we need to mop up the excess carbon dioxide left over from our present era of profligate fossil fuel consumption. The net result is an upsurge in the urgency to design effective artificial photosynthetic systems. This is a global problem which grows more important on a daily basis and it will soon become the dominant scientific issue. The researchers who were highly active in the 1970s and early 1980s ? a period that witnessed the great boom in solar energy research ? will soon be lost and there is a real danger of future generations reinventing the wheel. It seems critical that this expertise is passed on to new researchers, with a need to focus on possible solutions to long-standing problems. This topical and important area of science covers many disciplines. The combination of biology, chemistry, physics and theory makes for an exciting blend of discussion points In this volume the topics covered include: ? Electronic energy transfer ? Fuel production / carbon dioxide reduction ? Oxygen evolution ? Integrated photo-systems ? Electron transfer
If you perform a careful survey on the biggest hassles of being a home owner, you will find that lawn maintenance is one of the biggest problems they face. All of us aspire of boasting a perfectly maintained lush green lawn; however achieving that requires a lot of time. You will have to spend a big share of your weekend leisure cleaning and nurturing the lawn. Sometimes, even after spending so much time you may fail to get the lush lawn of your dreams. This may be due to: insufficient watering, watering more than what was necessary, insufficient nourishing, too much or nourishment, too much of heat etc. Finding out the exact reason is also not an easy job. All these confusions gave birth to artificial turf. Having a synthetic turf will make sure that you will not have to struggle all through the weekend; it saves water, time and the most importantly money.
It's true that an initial monetary investment is required for these artificial turfs, but the product offers real value for money and ultimately ends up saving a lot of cash for you.
If you are staying in an area suffering from drought, you should not spend gallons of water for irrigation of lawns. There's nothing that can justify the use of water for lawns during the time of drought. However, if you cut back the use of water for saving your environment and of course money, you will find your home image suffering as the grasses will gradually die. This calls for the use of artificial turf. Installing synthetic turf will give you the opportunity of getting rid of all the worries associated with water conservation. Maintenance of artificial grasses does not involve any kind of watering other than the occasional rinsing.
Other than saving water, having an artificial turf will also save a lot of your time. Maintenance of natural lawns involves processes like: watering trimming of grasses, cleaning, application of fertilizers, application of pesticides etc. Each of these procedures is time consuming. If you fail to do any one of these jobs perfectly, you natural lawn will not have the desired appearance. You will have overgrown lawns, unrestrained weeds, discoloured grasses etc. On the other hand, if you have an artificial turf, you will never need to invest your precious time for its maintenance. Occasional cleaning using a hose and garden broom is enough for preserving the looks and quality of artificial lawns. Artificial grass possesses built-in filtration unit, which ensures that all dust particles are washed out through it as soon as you rinse the lawn.
Earlier we mentioned that the artificial turf offers great value for money. Once you invest for buying materials required for setting up an artificial lawn, you will start saving money. You will not need to spend for fueling equipments and no chemicals will be required for feeding the lawn or keeping it weed free. Most of the topnotch brands of artificial turfs come with at least 5 years guarantee; this means you will not require investing a single penny during that period. If the product is quality, you will not need to resurface the area at least for 10 years.
I know that you need some sort of neon transformer to power it but how do you make the top of a tesla coil? Can you please dumb it down for me too:p
You don't have to have a fancy metal dome or torus for the coil to work.
My coil just has the end-wire of the secondary coil sticking up above the top of the PVC tube end-cap. Sparks fly off the tip of the wire just as effectively as they would from a metal sphere.
I can always add a spherical dome or torus to my Tesla coil at a later time. You can do the same.
