We should ALL TRY THIS AT HOME,!! WE NEED THIS! THE WORLD NEEDS SMART PEOPLE LIKE YOU TELLING US STEP BY STEP HOW TO BUILD THIS AND USE TO POWER OUR HOUSES!!
you are correct in saying that energy does need a positive and negative in a DC current, but in an AC current (invented by Nikola Tesla) it uses a hot wire and a neutral wire. Now let us assume that the tesla coil does work it would use the ions in the air as the 'hot' and ground or the person holding the object and the 'neutral'. In this model it is possible for the coil to work
There's a game series called Red Alert. Red Alert is a strategy game where you can place defensive structures to defend your base. The Tesla Coil is one of them where it shoots out an electric current and destroys enemies, which prompts a computer voice to inform you that you've lost a unit by saying "Unit lost".
An AC voltage is stepped up to a couple kilovolts, and is used to charge a bank of capacitors. Once the capacitor reaches a certain level of charge, a spark gap is triggered and a high voltage *pulsed DC* current is released into the primary of the tesla coil. The coil stores this electrical energy as a magnetic field, which is converted into a higher voltage by the secondary. The coils are tuned based on the inductances of the primary, secondary, top load, and the frequency at which the spark g
Nikola Tesla was one of the greatest scientists ever. It is so sad that he is forgotten...But Serbia will never forget. Thank you Nikola for everything that you have done!
It's actually possible the primary coil creates a magnetic field, this field transfers electricity to the secondary coil sending the current up. while the spark gap keeps going more electricity generates within the secondary coil therefore, only allowing one way to discharge. Into the air. Much like lightening arching through the air.
They're so simple. All you need is a high voltage source (neon sign transformer that plugs into the wall) that charges up a capacitor, which pulses into a coil of wire, wrapped around another coil. Besides tuning, its that easy (albeit a bit simplified).
I love it when people make make videos of photos like these because people with epilepsy can see wonderful things like this; because we can not watch it live.
Time lapse photo. The discharge point is moved in a circle around the car, connected to the tesla coil by a thin wire. He makes it do one full turn while the camera shutter is open. You can't do these effects in video, thats why this is all photos.
@Loudyest I didn't think that his inventions are forgotten, I thought he is forgotten as a person. A lot of people doesn't know who Nikola Tesla was, and that is so sad because without his inventions I don't know what would happen with the world today.
Some people kill boredom with armpit farts. Others build tesla coils and play with huge electricity sparks. Some spectacular shots there. I was a kid playing C&C Red Alert when I first saw a tesla coil. Remember the first Allies level? That was when. It would be many a year before I learned of Nikola Tesla.
Westinghouse deserves some credit; without him, Tesla probably wouldn't have received the financing necessary to open his first power plant at Niagara Falls. Without that power plant, there's a good chance it would've taken much longer for Tesla -- and alternating current -- to gain renown. Also, Tesla was perfectly fluent in English, and was in fact a noted polygot... He probably had a slightly different accent, though! ;)
all good ones are home built. i have a small 3 million volt coil that, after sum simple modifications works fine about 2 decades after my uncle built it.
@metalhead20058 its actually a trick of photography. The coil has a rotating piece on top that generates a spark near the ground which spins around the car. The low shutter speed on the camera allows it to capture the rotation in a single photograph. Makes for a great pic though!
One word. Adobe. Photoshop and After Effects both are 100% capable of producing the EXACT same lightening effects with out a problem. CS5 is great software that would make this work only take but a few seconds to replicate.
@BufOnSurfceHardNside With the metal cage around him, he's completely safe. It works as a perfect ground. As long as there's a better conductor between him and the coil, he's pretty much "invisible" to the currents.
@Maul9999 The circle effect is easily produced using by the common "needle" of a tesla coil being bent and lengthened, then being spun around in circles by a type of motor, I don't know what has you convinced that this is fake.
Nikola Tesla was born in the village of Smiljan, province of Lika, Croatia, between Yugoslavia's Velebit Mountains and the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea. (Though he was Serbian, his fither being Orthodox Reverend.
enough energy in it, there's limitless distance you can send it... but as you increase the distance, you need to increase the amount of power per cm of distance more and more, as it takes a lot more energy to travel from 20-40cm from the discharge, than it does from the discharge to 20cm so there's nothing to stop you sending electrical spikes 10 yards... well... maybe the fact you'd need a couple hundred thousand volts to do it... check out some more tesla coil stuff on YT
Het ligt eraan, over het algemeen zal je alleen een flink pijnlijke schok krijgen als je in contact met een vonk ervan komt. Tesla coils wekken enorm hoge voltage op, van vele tienduizenden tot een miljoen volt, maar bij een stroomsterkte van slechts een tot enkele milliampère. Wel erg pijnlijk maar niet echt gevaarlijk dus.
In about a few years a local Australian newspaper will read "man zapped to death by giant tesla coil in his backyard". The youtube community will know exactly what happened.
@d3dreaper as for the lightbulb thing... Lightbulb resist the flow of electricity so much so that it gets hot... and as it gets hot it begins to release light as a by-product of the heat.... LED's do not operate in this manner.... LED's operate by having electrons jump from one semi-conductor to another (in a dumb sense, a small arc) and depending on the medium in which they are tranfering depends on the color.... Lightbulbs cease to operate when the filament breaks, led's do not have a filament
I think you should mention that the exposure time on the camera was quite long to get a few of those pictures. I really would like to build one of these things.
Fernando, may I recommend you go visit the gentleman with the large Tesla coil, we'll let him stand inside his Faraday cage and you can stand there without one, we'll power it up and then see who's still standing after a short while. If it's fake then you should both be fine!
ladder + lightning = death . I've worked with a carbon fiber ladder with metal hooks on cable lines during thunderstorms, wearing a tool belt full of metal. Why am I alive?
Ya there's even an old photo of Nikola Tesla sitting in a chair with a bunch of those sparks all around him. There's a caption below it that says it was taken with multiple exposure, which is a concept Dragun seems to be having difficulty comprehending.
Nikola Tesla did invent the tesla coil, but not for use as a weapon. He invented the tesla coil for the wireless transmission of electricity through the air. Look it up.
Tesla's Earthquake machine was a fail, and it wasn't so much an Earthquake machine as a wave/frequency harmonizer. ...the idea was you could get matter to move at the same frequency I.E building, it would collapse the building, but it wasn't a earthquake machine.
You're missing basic knowledge in electronics. There ARE both poles in a tesla coil. One is on the top of coil, that sphere, and there you can get up so several megavolts of electric potential. The second one is ground - tesla coils arcs to ground which is at 0V potential. The voltage is difference between potentials. And there's difference between poles in tesla coil. Air breakdown voltage is 3000V/mm, and tesla coils give much more, so the air ionizes, and gases in air make it glow bluish.
@dudesta858 We think of Edison because he made something that revolutionized the world concerning practical use. Tesla coils have no purpose in a random home while a lightbulb does.
1:10... he is talking to his girlfriend "hey baby what are you doing" "oh im just shopping what about you" "nothing really im just 1 inch away from 200,000 watt lightning bolt"
@Jaramo1 you guys dont under stand it's output energy is not that high very very very low amps very high voltage thats why it arcs like that (and thats how people touch it without harm)
@iSuperNovaX70 you can step the voltage up and down with QC by using a transformer. the voltage is stepped way up accross pylons to reduce energy loss by heat due to the high current. it can then be stepped down to a safe value for use in the home. also, AC is easier to make. powerstations, windmills etc make AC just du to the way the electricity was produced
Its real. A tesla coil produces very high voltage from a much smaller source. The high voltage allows for sparks 10s of feet long. And no, you dont need a citys supply of electricity. By using resonance, the tesla coil can produce extremely high voltage (in the millions) from house current. Ive built them myself. The rock and metal thing is a faraday cage, which conducts the electricity away (works with lightning too). Please, if you dont know what youre talking about, dont talk.
If that guy uses the coil in a common neighborhood, I imagine it must interfere with ALL electronic devices of several blocks; computers, TVs, cellphones... I wonder what the neighbors say, LOL.
the guy made it with a rotating metal rod attached to the tesla coil at one end, and the other end was like a foot off the ground. He then took a long exposure picture
Actually there really is that much Nitrogen in the air if not more, just we don't have Nitrogen fixing bacteria crawling all over us like plants do, hence we do not make our own energy from nitrogen.
The lighning stuff thats come off it, doesn't hurt you right? sorry i don't know anything of these things only that magnetic fields are involved or something
0:47 your new car protective system. prevents high jackers. nah thats really amazing what you have done, i wonder where do you get enough power to get such an amazing ionizing effect?
@botobotoboto As far as I know about Physics, force-fields are theoretically possible, but one has never been created that was worth a damn. Energy fields designed to block electrons/atoms have been made, but their force was on the atomic/sub-atomic level, not the macro level humans are used to thinking on.
"Don't try this at home." Yes, because that's the first thing that came to my head seeing deaths tentacles focussing very close to a man's head. "I want a go." :-D
@TheTenside Technicaly it is a video. As he has uploaded it to youtube. A video is always a collection of images shown fast enough to give the illusion of movement.

You: Construction Complete. Enemy:Unit lost..Unit lost.........
An understatement, even! Tesla was an incredibly intelligent man, the likes of which may no longer exist.
@metaldrummer1654 They don't produce electricity. They use the coils to step up the voltage and frequency, but they're still using electricity.
The military is trying to develop this same technology to use as a "force field" and it should be interesting to see if they can get it to work.
it's a rotating pole from the top of the toroid and the picture is taken as a long exposure. i don't thing this is really possible otherwise
118 people like Edison. There are Americans who wish for Tesla to receive the credit he deserves!!
no: psychopaths getting shocked 101

Depends on the size and how much voltage .If it's big and at high voltage, it's basically like getting hit by lightning.
