[Zach Armstrong] presents for your viewing pleasure a simple guide to building a solid-state Tesla coil. The design is based around a self-resonant setup using the UCC2742x gate driver IC, which is ...

A windings road:It all starts with the concepts of inductance and electromagnetism. Inside an ignition coil there are two sets of wire windings (aka coils, that's why it's called a "coil," get it?).

The ignition coils in your car provide the high voltage electrical current that allows your spark plug to create its spark. These parts are humble looking, and they make use of relatively simple ...

IT’S SPARK MONTH AT THE ORLANDO SCIENCE CENTER, AND THE HANDS ON MUSEUM IS REALLY LIVING UP TO THIS THEME. SURE IS. AND NOW, MORE THAN EVER, AND WHETHER WE SEE IT OR NOT, THE FLOW OF ELECTRICITY IS ...
