EdEarl Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 A Tesla coil is a transformer that converts high frequency alternating current (AC) into a high voltage with low current. It is mainly used to simulate lightning, for example for motion pictures. Due to its high frequency a persons nervous system does not feel electricity from a Tesla coil. If the current is low enough, they are relatively safe. Tesla tried to perfect wireless power transmission, but did not succeed. Although, his technology was moderately successful for radio transmission. Later technology made Tesla coil radio transmitters obsolete. The Tesla Tower was an experiment to communicate and transmit power without wires. It was not successful. It appears to be a very large Tesla coil.
