How did Nikola make the Tesla Coil?

Answer 1

He took an alternating current generator, and used that as it's base. Then, used a spark gap and an HAWG capacitor for the secondary energy source. He then used a transformer and an ignition coil to serve as the bases power transmitor.

Answer 2

Nikola Tesla invented the Tesla coil by combining a primary coil, a secondary coil, and a high-frequency power source. By applying alternating current to the primary coil, a strong magnetic field is created, inducing a high voltage in the secondary coil. This high voltage produces high-frequency, high-voltage alternating current electricity, enabling the Tesla coil to generate powerful electrical discharges.
