How Does a Tesla Coil Work and How to Build One?

AI Thread Summary
A request for a detailed blueprint on building a Tesla coil was made, emphasizing the need for a structured build model. The responder suggested using Google and Wikipedia for information, noting that the Wikipedia article contains substantial details. They specifically highlighted the importance of the "Electrical Safety" section due to the risks associated with constructing a Tesla coil. The discussion concluded with a warning about the dangers involved, leading to the decision to close the thread. Safety is a critical consideration when attempting to build such devices.

Please pay particular attention to the section near the end on "Electrical Safety".

Because of the danger involved in constructing this device, this thread needs to be closed now.
 

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
