Solid State Tesla Coil
نویسنده
چکیده
Some years ago I developed an interest in Tesla coils. I was teaching a senior elective course at Kansas State University where we talked about power MOSFETs and topics related to high voltages and currents. I decided to use a Tesla coil as a class project. We would talk about design aspects, then design, build, and test a coil. The best description of the results of that plan was fiasco, or maybe disaster. We had some sparks, but none where they belonged. That was one of the most humiliating experiences of my career.

M ar 2 00 1 Photon collider at TESLA 1
High energy photon colliders (γγ, γe) based on backward Compton scattering of laser light is a very natural addition to ee linear colliders. In this report we consider this option for the TESLA project. Recent study has shown that the horizontal emittance in the TESLA damping ring can be further decreased by a factor of four. In this case the γγ luminosity in the high energy part of spectrum ca...
متن کاملCoronary magnetic resonance angiography: in vivo comparison of image quality at 1.5 Tesla versus 3.0 Tesla with Parallel Radiofrequency Transmission
Coronary plaque and thrombus characterization at 3.0 Tesla holds great potential for clinical benefit but problems still exist with coronary lumen image quality at 3.0 Tesla, which is a pre-requisite for these techniques. This study shows that despite implementation of parallel transmit technology to improve radiofrequency (B1 field) homogeneity, balanced steady-state-free-precession (b-SSFP) C...
متن کاملExperimental Demonstration and Circuitry for a Very Compact Coil-Only Pulse Echo EMAT
This experimental study demonstrates for the first time a solid-state circuitry and design for a simple compact copper coil (without an additional bulky permanent magnet or bulky electromagnet) as a contactless electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) for pulse echo operation at MHz frequencies. A pulsed ultrasound emission into a metallic test object is electromagnetically excited by an inte...
متن کاملTESLA: Translation Evaluation of Sentences with Linear-Programming-Based Analysis
We present TESLA-M and TESLA, two novel automatic machine translation evaluation metrics with state-of-the-art performances. TESLA-M builds on the success of METEOR and MaxSim, but employs a more expressive linear programming framework. TESLA further exploits parallel texts to build a shallow semantic representation. We evaluate both on the WMT 2009 shared evaluation task and show that they out...
متن کاملNICO: An Open-Source Interface, Bridging the Gap Between Musician and Tesla Coil
This paper describes the design and implementation of a new interface, Nico, which allows new and existing musical devices to control Tesla Coils. The interface uses an Arduino microcontroller to convert OSC and MIDI control data to TTL pulses that command the behavior of a Tesla Coil. This paper will give some background on the Tesla Coil, outline the design and capabilities of the interface, ...
