The Tesla coil is a resonant transformer that generates AC electric fields that can power fluorescent lights and neon tubes, as well as produce high-voltage arcs. It is essentially structured as a ...

Researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida, have pushed a palm-sized superconducting ...

Engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have designed and delivered to Germany two critical components for a major device to develop fusion power. The ...

An oversized Tesla coil is a movie and a photograph which are blowing out lightning violently. The Tesla coil is also big, so the lightning is also getting thick. If you are doing such experiments in ...

Nikola Tesla was a visionary thinker, making experiments which still aren't fully understood today. But even the inventor of AC current wouldn't have foreseen this Flash Gordon style wireless plasma ...

Nikola Tesla would be proud. The Serbian-American inventor, who spent about eight months in Colorado Springs from 1899 to 1900, is infamous for his Tesla coil, a high-frequency, high-voltage ...
