 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to give my heartfelt gratitude to the people

who helped in making and considering this study and for
the success of mine. First, the parents who gave their
time to help and support their child for bringing the
required materials. Second, the teacher who was always
there when I had questions or problems that needs to be
solved. And last but not the least, to our dear God who
guided me in the right path and for all the blessings that I
have received.
 CERTIFICATION
THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT Mr. ANSH MISHRA
OF CLASS XII-E, ROLL NO.
HAS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE
INVESTIGTORY PROJECT ON TO :-
"TESLA COIL" UNDER THE GUIDAN
Mrs.
DURING THE ACADEMIC SESSION 2022-23
 PURPOSE OF PROJECT
THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO
MAKE TESLA COIL
which is basically a spark gap radio transmitters
used in wireless telegraphy and in medical equipment
such as electrotherapy and violet ray devices. Today
their main use is for entertainment and educational
displays, although small coils are still used as leak
detectors tor high vacuum systems
 THEORY
A Tesla coilis a padio frequency ascillator that
drives an air-core double-tuned resonant
transtormer to produce high voltages at low
currents. Tesla's original circuits as well as most
modern coils use a simple spark gap to excite
Scllations in the tuned transtormer. More
saphisticated designs use transistor or thyristor
switches or vacuum tube electronic
oscillatorsto drive the resonant transformer.
 Tesla coils can produce output valtages from 50
kilovolts to several million volts for large coils. The
alternating current output is in the low radio
frequency range. usually between 50 kHz and MHz
Although some oscillator-driven coils generate a
continuous alternating current. most Tesla coils have a
pulsed output the high voltage consists of a rapid
string of pulses of radio frequency alternating current.
University of llinois student Steve Ward and fermilab
senior technician Jetf Larson developed twin Tesla
coils capable of emitting 12 feet (4 meters) of sparks
Among his numerous innovations.
Nikola Tesla dreamed of creating a way to supply
power to the world without stringing wires across the
globe. The inventor came close to accomplishing this
when his "mad scientist" experiments with electricity
led to his creation of the tesla coil The first system that
could wirelessly transmit electricity the tesla coil was
a truly revolutionary invention. Early radio antennas
and telegraphy used the invention. but variations of
the coil can also do things that are just plain cool-like
shoot lightning bolts. send electric currents through
the body and create electron winds,
Tesla developed the coil in l891, before canventional
iron-core transtormers were used to power things like
lighting systems and telephone circuits. These
conventional transformers can't withstand the high
frequency and high voltage that the looser coils in
Tesla's invention can tolerate. The concept behind
the caill is actually fairly simple and makes use of
electromagnetic force and resonance. Emplaying
copper wire and glass bottles. An amateur electrician
can build a Tesla coil that can produce a quarter of
million volts.

 The setup
A Tesla coil consists of two parts a primary coil and secondary
coil each with its own capacitor. (Capacitors store electrical
energy just like batteries.) The two coils and capacitors are
connected by a spark gap-a gap of air between two electrodes
that generates the spark of electricity. An outside saurce hooked
up transformer powers the hole system. Essentially the Tesla coil
is two open electric circuits connected to a spark gap. A Tesla coil
needs a high-voltage power source. A regular power source fed
through a transformer can produce a current with the necessary
power (at least thousands of volts)
In this case a transformer can convert the low voltage of main
power into the high voltage
 How it works

The power source is hooked up to the primary coil. The primary coil's
capacitor acts like a sponge and soaks up the charge. The primary coil
itself must be able to withstand the massive charge and huge surges of
current, so the coils usually made out of copper, a good conductor of
electricity. Eventually. the capacitor builds up so much charge that it breaks
down the air resistance in the spark gap. Then. similar to squeezing out a
soaked sponge. the current flows out of the capacitor down the primary coil
and creates a magnetic field. The massive amount of energy makes the
magnetic field collapse quickly, and generates an electric current in the
secondary coil. The voltage zipping through the air between the two coils
creates sparks in the spark gap. The energy sloshes back and forth
between the two coils several hundred times per second.
and builds up in the secondary coil and capacitor. Eventually the charge in
the secondary capacitor gets so high that it breaks free in a spectacular
burst of electric current the resulting high-frequency voltage can illuminate
fluorescent bulbs several feet away with no electrical wire connection. In a
perfectly designed Tesla coil when the secondary coil reaches its maximum
charge. the whole process should start over again and the device should
become self-sustaining. In practice. however, this does not happen. The
heated air in the spark gap pulls some of the electricity away from the
secondary coil and back into the gap, so eventually the tesla coil will run out
of energy. this is why the coil must be hooked up to an outside power
supply. The principle behind the Tesla coil is to achieve a phenomenon
called resonance. This happens when the primary coil shoots the current into
the secondary coil at just the right time to maximize the energy transferred
into the secondary coil.
Think of it as timing when to push someone on a swing in order to
make it go as high as possible. Setting up a tesla coil with an
adjustable rotary spark gap gives the operator more control over the
voltage of the current it produces. This is how coils can create crazy
lightning displays and can even be set up to play music timed to bursts
of current. While the Tesla coil does not have much practical application
anymore. Tesla's invention completely revolutionized the way electricity
was understood and used Radios and televisions still use variations of
the Tesla coil today.
