The Tesla coil is one of Nikola Tesla's most famous inventions. It is essentially a high-frequency air-core transformer. It takes the output from a 120vAC to several kilovolt transformer & driver circuit and steps it up to an extremely high voltage. Voltages can get to be well above 1,000,000 volts and are discharged in the form of electrical arcs. Tesla himself got arcs up to 100,000,000 volts, but I don't think that has been duplicated by anybody else. Tesla coils are unique in the fact that they create extremely powerful electrical fields. Nikola Tesla live in both Room 3327 and Room 3328 in Hotel New Yorker from 1933-1943. Located in Room 3327 was Tesla's safe where he locked his scientific papers including the famous "Tesla Death Rays" papers. After Tesla's death, these papers disappeared and were never found again. Tesla's nephew, Sava Kosanovich, Ambassador of Yugoslavia, enter the Hotel Room 3327 to find the safe open and scientific papers missing.
