Tesla invented his coil with the intention of transmitting electricity through the air. The Tesla coil is a lightning generator. The wireless power research was not a total loss however. Tesla also used the coils to experiment in radio transmission.

What is a Tesla coil?
Tesla coils were used comercialy in sparkgap radio transmitters for wireless telegraphy until the 1920s. Today modified Tesla coils are as igniters for high power gas discharge lamps, such as the mercury vapor and sodium types used for street lighting.
What is good shelter for lightning?
A closed vehicle like a closed car is a good shelter for lightning. But we should never take shelter under a tree or an electric pole.
Why is lightning good?

Because metal is a good conductor
Can a magnet attract lightning?
If the magnet is made of metal then it can act as a good conductor to the Earth like any other metal. The fact that it is magnetised does not attract the lightning.
How many volts of electricity does a tesla coil have?
Your first touch of live primary Tesla coil voltage (10000 volts) has a good chance of being fatal and will easily stop your heart. The coil dicharge goes up to one and a half millions volts.
What is a scientific question about Russia?
Look up Nic Tesla. Argueably the most famous Russian scientist. A good question would be who invented the Tesla coil perhaps?
What capacitors are good to use for tesla coils?
In the related links box below, I posted a good website that relate most of the capacitors needed to make a Tesla coil. Understand that if you are new to this, you should seek guidance.
What is one good example of electrical energy?
Lightning
How much can a tesla coil be charged with?
A tesla coil is a static generator .....charging is not what happens ...it is a mini lighting storm ......using a transformer to boost the power a coil a capasitor and a spark gap the power is only limited to the power input and the size of the coil .....his largest coil was nearly 190 feet tall and weighed in at neraly 124 tons ,,,,he tryed to charge the atmaphere ....he did not know it was allready charged with Neg energey ....he burned out the Bolder Colorado Power station in his experament ....the towns people said they thought there was a lighting storm comming and one person said it looked like the Northern lights .....good luck with your coil ...be carefull with it ...it is static power but it is over 120,000 volts min and min ampures but it can still knock you on your TESLA COIL
Why did Nikola Tesla invent the remote control?
His genius mind came to the conclusion that sound and energy were transmitted by waves in the environment. With that in mind he invented the Coil. He put it to use by inventing the radio and the remote control making the Tesla Coil the basis in anything wireless. Now, he invented it to guide explosive boats as weapons against the enemy. The Navy didn't think so and Tesla was not a good at selling. The fact that it could become the most sold out toy didn't occur to him. He got that patent since 1986 and he was playing with it.
