3.THEORY
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 switch it on, the shiny sphere-shaped part
on the top is energized with about 500,000 volts of high-frequency current . It is used to produce
high-voltage, low-current, high frequency alternating-current electricity. The Tesla coil uses high
frequency transformer action together with resonant voltage amplifications to generate potentials
in the range of tens to hundreds, or even thousands of kilovolts.

About 100 years ago Nikola Tesla invented “Tesla Coil”. Tesla invented his coil with the
intention of transmitting electricity through the air. He proposed using a few coils spread across
the globe to transmit electrical energy through the Earth. Tesla experimented with anumber of
different configurations consisting of two, or sometimes three , coupled resonant electric circuits.

Tesla used these circuits to conduct innovative experiments in electrical lightning,


phosphorescence, X-ray generation, high frequency alternating current phenomena,
electrotherapy and the transmission of electrical energy without wires. Tesla coil circuits were
used commercially in spark age radio transmissions for wireless telegraphy until the 1920s and in
medical equipment without wires.

4.CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

The main component in this circuit is the secondary coil , which is made by winding a magnetic
wire (enameled copper) around a cylindrical object (any non conductive object will work, here
PVC pipe has been used).

A high current high frequency transistor like 2N2222 is used to supply current through the
primary coil . The whole set up is powered by a 9V battery as shown above. The positive end
of the battery reaches the collector of Transistor through the primary coil, and the emitter is
grounded. This means that whenever the transistor conducts, current is flown through the
primary coil. The LED diode and one end of the secondary coil is also connected to base of
transistor to make the circuit oscillate, this way the transistor will send a oscillating current into
primary coil.

5.WORKING PRICIPLE

Tesla coil works on the principle of Faraday’s Law of Magnetic Induction which states that “the
magnitude of the emf induced in a circuit is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic
flux that cuts across 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 the Tesla coil this conductor will be called a secondary
coil and the varying magnetic field will be produced by the primary coil by passing an oscillating
current through the primary coil. The output voltage is high enough to create such an electric
field, which lightens up the fluorescent bulb.

6.RESULT

Whenever we bring a fluorescent bulb close to the secondary winding, after switching on the
circuit, the bulb glows producing high intensity light . It is the transmission of electrical energy
from power source to electric load, over a distance, without usage of wires or cables.

7.CONCLUSION
Hereby it can be concluded that with the help of this kind of technology, wireless power
transmission can be made possible and this technology will help us in eradicating the hazardous
uses of electrical wires and huge power losses in transmission. It is envisaged that wireless
energy would be really accomplished with the advantage of easy implementation and cost
effective i.e., cost of transmission and distribution overhead would become less. In the long run ,
this could reduce our society’s dependence on batteries, which are currently heavy and
expensive.
