■Tesla coil TESLA COIL
High Frequency High Voltage Generator The Tesla Coil, invented by the Hungarian Nikola Tesla, is a resonant transformer that generates high frequency and high voltage, generating up to 30,000V and discharging it into a 75mm gap.
■Tesla Coil is a resonant transformer that generates high frequency and high voltage.
Using the air-core resonant coil and spark gap devised by the Hungarian Nicholas Tesla, it is possible to generate high frequency and high voltage by utilizing the resonance of the secondary coil.The Tesla coil body consists of the spark gap and the coil body, and the coil The body consists of a primary coil with a small number of turns, a secondary coil with a large number of windings, and a capacitive bulb that serves as a discharge electrode. When these two coil parts resonate, high frequency and high voltage are generated.
It is sometimes used as a teaching material to observe spark discharge (corona discharge), and is still used today as a shipping inspection device for fluorescent tubes. The energy of the 50,000V high-frequency voltage generated between these two large and small wound coils actually acts on objects located 60cm away, lighting up fluorescent tubes and LEDs that are brought close.
■Applications of Tesla coil
・Used as a teaching material for observing corona discharge.
・It lights up fluorescent tubes by bringing it close to a spark discharge, and is used as an inspection device for fluorescent tubes.
・Applied to the lighting (starting) circuit (igniter) of HID lamps (CDM/HIQ).
- The transformer of the cold cathode tube inverter used to light the cold cathode tubes used in LCD backlights is a Tesla coil that has been miniaturized using a ferrite core.
*Tesla coil is a device that generates strong electromagnetic waves, so please be careful not to bring other affected devices close to it.
