Nikola Tesla built a machine that could fire bolts of electricity through the air. His Tesla Coil became a symbol of wireless power—and raw electrical beauty.

Abstract: Helical coil electromagnetic launchers (HEMLs) using motion-induced commutation strategy solve the problem of synchronization control perfectly. HEMLs have the advantages of symmetric ...

Abstract: Large starting voltages in metal halide lamps result in sputtering of the electrodes and reduced lamp life. A two-dimensional plasma hydrodynamics model was used to investigate breakdown in ...

Inspired by Wattson from Apex Legends, we brought the Tesla Coil concept to life—sparks, arcs, and all. This real-world turret experiment shows just how wild science can get when gaming meets ...
