Researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida, have pushed a palm-sized superconducting coil to 42 tesla, placing a device small enough to hold in one hand within ...

The Tesla coil is a resonant transformer that generates AC electric fields that can power fluorescent lights and neon tubes, as well as produce high-voltage arcs. It is essentially structured as a ...

Researchers at ETH Zürich have built the most powerful miniature superconducting magnets ever demonstrated, ...

Looking for a neat trick to do with your Tesla coil? [The Action Lab] uses his coil to make a metal plasma — in particular, sodium. You can see the results in the video below. To create a metal plasma ...

If you have a thing for Tesla coils (and who doesn’t really) you will be interested in this experiment/history lesson about wireless power put on by Omega Recoil at this year’s Maker Faire. During the ...

An oversized Tesla coil is a movie and a photograph which are blowing out lightning violently. The Tesla coil is also big, so the lightning is also getting thick. If you are doing such experiments in ...
