Best Answer

When building a Tesla coil, one transformer is required to complete it. If you want to build the power by adding up another transformer to the coil, I would advice you to go by the plan established before by Nikola Tesla that was brought down in generations. First, building a coil, is something you shouldn't do if your electrical experience or knowable is not advanced.

How can you do an experiment of wireless energy transfer to show your class?

You can buy or build a tesla coil which would be an excellent demonstration you could instead do something less exciting and kind of lame like make an induction circuit with two coils of wire to show wireless energy transfer through magnetic induction. I highly recommend the tesla coil as teaches these days usually have pretty bad demos but a tesla coil would really *spark* interest in young minds.


When did Nikola Tesla start start school?

The Tesla family lived in a three-room flat, in a new building, across the street from the recently-built Junior High school .That was in the 1860s. by that date Tesla was in Grade Two of the primary school.


Why ac current is used in a transformer?

AC current or DC current can be used in transformers. A transformer is made of two coils of wire, the input coil induces a current into the output coil. Transformers change the voltage either up (step up transformer) or down (step down transformer). The amount of change in voltage is dependent solely on the number of windings in both coils in the transformer. DC transformers work exactly the same way AC transformers do.


How do transformers work since the two coils aren't connected to each other?

The AC - and it must be AC - in the primary coil generates an alternating magnetic field around the coil; this alternating magnetic field induces a current in the secondary.


What was Nikola Tesla greatest achievement?

He had great achievements but I will mention two. The alternating electriticy wich is the most electricity used today and the coil wich is the basis for all wirelles comuication today.

What are the two types of transformers?

The two general categories of transformer, based on their construction, are (a) mutual transformers and (b) autotransformers.Mutual transformers have two coils, or 'windings', termed the primary (input side) and the secondary (output side), which are electrically isolated from each other, being linked with a magnetic field.Autotransformers have a single, shared, winding and so, do not provide isolation between the primary and secondary sides.Mutual transformers can be further classified, according to their function: e.g. power transformers, distribution transformers, isolation transformers, instrument transformers, matching transformers, etc.


What is Dave's project in sorcerer's apprentice?

A Tesla coil. It is a type of resonant transformer circuit invented by Nikola Tesla around 1891. It is used to produce high voltage, low current, high frequency alternating current electricity. Tesla coils produce higher current than the other source of high voltage discharges, electrostatic machines. Tesla experimented with a number of different configurations and they consist of two, or sometimes three, coupled resonant electric circuits. Tesla used these coils to conduct innovative experiments in electrical lighting, 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 sparkgap radio transmitters for wireless telegraphy until the 1920s, and in pseudomedical equipment such as electrotherapy and violet ray devices. Today their main use is for entertainment and educational displays.


Can you use one transformer for two neon lights?

Neon tube transformers are sized by the length of the tube. These types of transformers operate at voltages from 5,000 to 20,000 volts. If the length of the two tube sections are within the range of the transformers then two tubes can be connected together.
