It is used to produce high voltage low current high frequency alternating current electricity tesla experimented with a number of different configurations consisting of two or sometimes three coupled resonant electric circuits.
Mini tesla coil schematic.
It is also essential that the 6 volt power source is separate from the 12 volt one that is why there s a photocoupler to completely isolate it.
This mini tesla coil circuit is very simple and just works with a help of 9v battery and very few commonly available electronic components which makes it is very easy to build fingers crossed there are a handful number of people who have tried this project already and have failed to obtain the result.
A tesla coil is an electrical resonant transformer circuit designed by inventor nikola tesla in 1891.
This is mainly because of few subtle mistakes that commonly occur.
To understand better let s define what is a radio frequency oscillator.
Primarily we are aware that the electronic oscillator is a device that produces electrical signals of either a sine wave or a square wave.
The ignition coil is not portrayed as connected to the driver circuit but it is shown clearly where to connect in the schematic of the tesla coil itself.
Power supply 9 21v also it s gonna work from batteries with same voltage little heatsink transistor 13009 or 13007 or almost any npn transistors with similar parameters variable 50kohm resistor 180ohm resistor cooper winding wire 0 1 0 3mm i used 0 19mm which is 36 american wire.
Electricity flows into c1 until a high voltage is seen across g1.
Circuit of coil as you can see it s very simple and we need only few components.
When this voltage is high enough a spark jumps across the gap and allows c1 to discharge into l1.
