RLev based in London have created a new range of USB powered Tesla coils that can generate arcs from jest a 5 V connection. The company has designed uni-polar and bi-polar Tesla coils in different ...

A Tesla coil easily makes it to the top spot on our list of “Mad Scientist” equipment we want for the lab, second only to maybe a Jacob’s Ladder. Even then, it’s kind of unfair advantage because you ...

Electric current is often magic and mysterious. Before people knew about electricity, many natural phenomena appeared as supernatural events caused by angry gods. Fortunately people today know physics ...

Technically, this is called Teslaphoresis. The idea is to use a Tesla coil that creates high magnitude diverging electric fields. These fields then can cause nanotubes to assemble into nanowires. Here ...

To investigate the electrical realm of high-frequency and high-voltage, Tesla invented an apparatus that pushed the limits of electrical understanding. None of the circuit's typical components were ...
