How can I build a tesla coil?

Post by coinjunky2 »

Hi!

I recently became interested in electronics and have seen large scale tesla coils on T.V. I was hoping I could something on how to buil a small scale tesla coil for my own use and experimentation.

Thanks for ideas!

Hi, coinjunky2!

Have you tried searching for something like "telsa coil science fair project"? I tried it on Google and received many hits. Please be careful! Telsa coils can be dangerous!

Hi coinjunky2!

To amplify the previous response, you can also use answers.com, which is a front-end to google.com.

The following inputs to answers.com will quickly yield your results:

"how do I build a small scale tesla coil?"
"how do I build a small tesla coil?" or
"what are tesla coil science fair projects?"

Two notes:

1. Generally, the "Sponsored Links" are commercials. So, it's best to skip them and use only the "Web Results."
2. With answers.com, you may need to tweak your wording for best results.

Please buzz back in if you have any questions.

Thanks.
Cheers!
