Sequel to the classic Tesla Coil. We've thrown lots of sparks, but is this all Tesla had in mind? Utilitarian Tesla. Can Tesla coils do real work? Can they power an alternative fluorescent lighting? Build a "third generation" Tesla coil. Discover the magic of oil immersion, close coupling, and precise pulsing. Build a Tesla lighting plant. Meet the new electronic neon technology. A look at the familiar hybrid spark-ignition-coil and flyback Tesla coils. Then a leap forward to the Tesla coil pulsed directly by solid state, where battery 12 volts can yield 2000. The same circuitry can pulse 500 volts into a primary, yielding 100 times that. Can spark also deliver clean, stable outputs? Meet the Chaffee gap.

This review is from: Son of Tesla Coil (Paperback)
This books expands upon the problems of the Tesla coil of yesteryear and how many of these problems can be solved with today's solid state electronics. Its not highly technical but schematics are present to explain the how and the why.
Best for a beginner to intermediate level of electronics expertise. It also expands on how to chop DC power to drive the primary coil.

This review is from: Son of Tesla Coil (Paperback)
I enjoyed this because it is about one of my hero's. It's nothing you can't find elsewhere, but it is nicely assembled and I'm proud to have it on my shelf. Note it's more like a pamphlet than a book.

This review is from: Son of Tesla Coil (Paperback)
This is hardly worth the title of "book" since it appears to be a collection of indecipherable notes. It's not so much not well written, more that it's not worth of the word written at all. It's a waste of money.
