Abstract

Nikola Tesla is a responsible person that invented Tesla Coil, a type of resonant air core transformer, used to generate high voltage and low current electricity. Even though the Tesla Coil is an old invention, there are useful for developing many devices today. Tesla Coil used to conduct innovative experiments in electrical lighting, fluorescence, x-rays, wireless energy transfer for electrical power transmission and also for educational purposes. Tesla coil designs employed high voltage alternating current power source, high voltage capacitor, and a spark gap to excite the primary side of the Tesla coil system with periodic bursts of high frequency current. The primary and secondary coil is designed in order to resonate at the same frequency. The main purpose of this project is to design a miniature size of tesla coil that use a low dc (direct current) voltage as a primary circuit input instead of ac (alternating current) voltage and will produce an ac high voltage at secondary circuit side. This project will prove that even though the input is only a low DC voltage, this miniature Tesla Coil is able to step up the input voltage and simultaneously generate a high voltage approximately 2kV at the secondary side. The size of Tesla Coil is also one of the main issues, which typical Tesla Coil usually have a large scale of its construction. As a result a miniature Tesla Coil will be use as an impulse generator with low voltage rating. In addition, this project has contributed many advantages rather than typical Tesla Coil which is bulky and has many mobility issues.
