Now comes the tedious part so get comfortable.

Next, we will take our 2" PVC and line up the magnet wire across about 1/4" from the bottom and secure it with tape leaving several inches extra on the end. Insulated Copper Wire making three rotations evenly spaced about 1/4" apart and secure with tape. We will wrap our short 2.5" PVC pipe with the 16 ga.

This circuit configuration creates a feedback loop which automatically turns on and off the secondary coil hundreds of times per second which creates a high voltage, high frequency electric field capable of transmitting wireless electricity!įUN FACT: A transistor is what makes the processors in computers work, so, in essence, we are building a super simple computer to control our Tesla Coil! This secondary coil is then connected to both a resistor connected to the power source and the base of the transistor which then shuts off the flow of current to the first primary coil. This coil is then placed around a second coil with many more windings of a smaller gauge wire which creates a transformer, converting a low input voltage to a very high voltage in the second coil. The capacitor begins to charge while the coil ( based on this) begins to radiate an electromagnetic field. The other side of the coil is connected to the collector of a transistor, a device that can turn off the flow of current based on an input signal, and then to ground as well. A few volts of electricity are passed to one side of a coil of wire and to a grounded capacitor connected to the negative side of the power supply. That's all it takes to transmit wireless electricity.

We are creating a system that converts a low voltage to a high voltage and simultaneously turns itself on and off very quickly. This simple device shows how electricity can be transmitted wirelessly to power all types of electrical devices for convenience, necessity or just plain awesomeness! Electricity needs to travel through wires, right? Well, not anymore!
