What is a Tesla coil made of?

Answer 1

is a high voltage, high frequency, power generator, primarily built for conducting experiments and to observe phenomenon associated with alternating electricity. With this coil, Tesla was able to generate voltages of such magnitude, they would shoot out of the apparatus as bolts of lightning! Unlike some other high voltage experiments, a Tesla coil's streamers can be very harmful. If you are shocked by the streamers, you will not feel pain, but your circulatory and nervous system can sustain severe damage. DO NOT TOUCH IT WHILE ON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. In the related links box below, I posted a link to propperly build one.

Answer 2

A Tesla coil is typically made of a primary coil, a secondary coil, a capacitor, a spark gap, and a high-voltage power source. The primary coil generates a high-frequency alternating current, which resonates with the secondary coil to produce high-voltage, high-frequency electricity. The capacitor helps store and discharge electrical energy, while the spark gap allows for the release of high voltage sparks.
