We’ve gone full-nerd with high-voltage experimentation—bringing together a laser bazooka and a Tesla coil gun to see which ...

Nikola Tesla had begun experimenting with wireless electricity, developing something he called "cold light," in which a glass bulb with gasses in it lights up when it is near ambient electricity.

TESLA invented the coil in 1891. Although they've been used in a variety of applications, today the main use of TESLA coils are for entertainment and educational purposes.

DC voltage is constant, and simply yanking a switch open starts an arc that rapidly degrades the metal contacts. At 12 to 14 volts, the arc is small enough not to be an issue.

The Tesla Coil. Free, wireless electrical power, the holy grail of electricity transmission. The near-tangible dream of an engineering visionary. [Image source: TeslasAutobiography.com] Ah, Tesla.

In this paper, high-current vacuum arc (VA) breaking experiments in vacuum interrupters were conducted using two kinds of high-capacity (larger diameter) axial magnetic field (AMF) electrodes with ...
