CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
The idea of transmitting power through the space was conceived over a
century ago, with Nikola Tesla’s pioneering ideas and experiments perhaps being
the most well-known early attempts to do so. As per Dickerson, K. (2014), the
first system that could wirelessly transmit electricity, is the Tesla coil, it was a
truly revolutionary invention. Among his numerous innovations, Nikola Tesla
dreamed of creating a way to supply power to the world without stringing wires
across the globe. The inventor came close to accomplishing this when his "mad
scientist" experiments with electricity led to his creation of the Tesla coil. His
vision was to wirelessly distribute power over large distances using the earth’s
ionosphere.
Hartsfield, T. (2014) stated that the power of the Tesla coil lies in a process
called electromagnetic induction, i.e., a changing magnetic field creates an
electric potential that compels current to flow. Conversely, flowing electric current
generates a magnetic field. Most approaches to wireless power transfer use an
electromagnetic (EM) field of some frequency as the means by which the energy
is sent. At the high frequency end of the spectrum are optical techniques that use
lasers to send power via a collimated beam of light to a remote detector where
the

received photons are converted to electrical energy. Efficient transmission over
large distances is possible with this approach, however, complicated pointing and
tracking mechanisms are needed to maintain proper alignment between moving
transmitters and/or receivers. In addition, objects that get between the transmitter
and receiver can block the beam, interrupting the power transmission and,
depending on the power level, possibly causing harm. At microwave frequencies,
a similar approach can be used to efficiently transmit power over large distances
using the radiated EM field from appropriate antenna.
In the study of Brown, W. (1984) stated that it is also possible to transmit
power using non-radiative fields. As an example, the operation of a transformer
can be considered a form of wireless power transfer since it uses the principle of
magnetic induction to transfer energy from a primary coil to a secondary coil
without a direct electrical connection. Inductive chargers, such as those found
commonly in electric toothbrushes, operate on this same principle.
However, for these systems to operate efficiently, the primary coil (source)
and secondary coil (device) must be located in close proximity and carefully
positioned with respect to one another. From a technical point of view, this
means the magnetic coupling between the source and device coils must be large
for proper operation. To overcome the above challenges, that is, to transmit
somewhat larger distances or have more freedom in positioning the source and

device relative to each other.
This Mini Tesla Coil Circuit is very simple and just works with a help of
working copper wire, battery, switch and coil amateur can build a mini Tesla coil
which can already enlighten up a bulb. There are a handful number of people
who have tried this project already and have failed to obtain the result. This
project was intended to provide scientific study and experimentation of a mini
tesla coil. The specific goal of the research is to make an experimentation of
Mini Tesla Coil.

History of Tesla Coil
National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (2014) stated that in the late 1800s,
electricity had long been discovered and was no longer considered a novelty.
The science of how to store, enhance, or transmit electrical current was just
beginning to evolve, and eccentric scientist Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was on the
cutting edge of that research. In 1891, Tesla unveiled one of his most important
inventions, the "Tesla coil," a high-frequency transformer capable of creating very
high voltage at low current. He built several variations of his invention. Tesla
used his brainchild to research such diverse areas as lighting, X-rays and electric
power transmission. Customized Tesla coils are now frequently used to ignite
powerful mercury and sodium streetlamps. On the big screen, a Tesla coil was
used to produce lighting effects for the 1979 film "Star Trek: The Motion Picture."
# Electricity has been discovered since the late 1800s as stated by National High
Magnetic Field Laboratory (2014). Nikola Tesla was doing his own Research. It is
said that the science of storing, enhancing and transmitting electrical current was
just starting. On the year 1891, Tesla has introduced his most important invention
that captivated the eyes of the people and that is the “Tesla coil” ,the "Tesla coil,"
a high-frequency transformer capable of creating very high voltage at low current.
He built several variations of his invention. Tesla used his brainchild to research

such diverse areas as lighting, X-rays and electric power transmission.
Customized Tesla coils are now frequently used to ignite powerful mercury and
sodium streetlamps. On the big screen, a Tesla coil was used to produce lighting
effects for the 1979 film "Star Trek: The Motion Picture."
, it is a transformer that has a high-frequency that is capable of producing very
high voltage at low current. He made different variations of his invention. He used
his knowledge to research more such as the lighting, X-rays and electric power
transmission. Nowadays, the Tesla coils are being customized and it is
commonly used to ignite powerful mercury and sodium streetlamps. When it
comes to the big screen, Tesla coil was used to produce the lighting effects for
the film “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” during the year 1979.
@ Electricity has been long invented and used since the early 1800s as stated by
National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (2014). Nikola Tesla has been spending
his time doing his Research order to improve it. By that time, the science of
electric currents are just starting. Until Tesla introduced his own research that he
called as “Tesla coil”. It is a transformer that produces high-frequency but it
creates high voltage at a very low current. Tesla produced different variations oh
his own invention. He didn’t stop to research about the lighting, x-rays and
electric power transmission. But today, the Tesla coils are often customized to
make mercury and streetlamps. When it comes to the effects for the movies.
Tesla coil was used to produce the effects for the film “Star Trek: The Motion

Picture.” of the year 1979.
How Mini Tesla works
Julian Rubin (2013) illustrated that a Tesla coil transformer operates in a
significantly different fashion than a conventional (i.e., iron core) transformer. In a
conventional transformer, the windings are very tightly coupled, and voltage gain
is limited to the ratio of the numbers of turns in the windings. Earlier oil insulated
Tesla coils needed large and long insulators at their high-voltage terminals to
prevent discharge in air. Later version Tesla coils spread their electric fields over
large distances to prevent high electrical stresses in the first place, thereby
allowing operation in free air.
# It is stated by Julian Rubin (2013) illustrated that a Tesla coil transformer are
operating in a different fashion than a conventional transformer. When it comes
to the conventional transformer, the windings* are coupled and voltage gain is
limited to the ratio of the numbers of turns in windings.* The earlier oil that are
insulated on the Tesla coils needs large and long insulators at their high-voltage
terminals to prevent discharge in air. The later version of the Tesla coils are
spreading the electric fields over the large distances in order to prevent the high
electrical stresses, thus allowing the operation to be free on air.
@ As stated by Julian Rubin (2013) explained that a Tesla coil transformers are
operating differently from the conventional transformers. On the other hand, the

conventional transformers has a windings that are coupled and the voltage gain
limited to the ratio of the numbers of turns in windings. The Tesla coils that has
earlier oil insulated on them needs to have large and even long insulators at their
high-voltage terminals in order to prevent the unwanted discharges in the air.
Thus, the later version of the Tesla coils managed to spread the electric fields
over large distances in order to prevent the very high electrical stresses, thus
making the operation run smoothly.
Current work using tesla coil
shahadalsudais (2016) elaborated Tesla’s idea of free energy is attractive, his
invention was never used. This appealing idea is getting more attention now, in
light of energy conservation issues. Although the Fix the World Project is
promoting the use of the Tesla Coil to solve world energy problems, many feel
that they are a hoax, and their efforts are self-serving.
# shahadalsudais (2016) explained that the idea of Tesla’s free energy is brilliant
but his invention was never used. Despite of that, this idea is getting more
attention now due to the issues of light of energy conservation. The Fix the World
Project is doing its best to promote the use of the Tesla coil in order to solve the
problem of the world when it comes to the energy problems, some said that it’s
not true and their efforts are useless.
@ As stated by shahadalsudais (2016) explained that Tesla’s idea of free energy

is appealing to the people but his invention was still never used. Despite of that,
Tesla’s idea is getting famous now because of the issues conservation of the
light and energy. The Project which is called Fix the World Project is spending
their time promoting to use the Tesla coil in order to help with the problem of the
world with the energy. But the Netizens are having a hard time believing with it.
Thus, they said that the project will not be successful.
Wireless transmission system
Brown, C, the pioneer in wireless power transmission technology, has
designed, developed a unit and demonstrated to show how power can be
transferred through free space by microwaves. In the receiving side, a
rectenna receives the transmitted power and converts the microwave power
into DC power.
# As stated by the pioneer in the wireless transmission technology Brown, C
has said to be the one who designed and developed a unit which
demonstrates on how to show the power being transferred through the free
spaces by the microwaves. The rectenna on the receiving side is the one who
is transmitting the power and the one who converts the power of the
microwave into the DC power.
@ As said by Brown, C who is a known pioneer of the wireless transmission
technology is the one who designed and developed the unit which is

demonstrating on how it works particularly on how the power is being
transferred through the spaces by the use of microwave. On the receiving
area, there is a so-called rectenna which is the one who is responsible for the
transmitting and converting of the power of the microwave to the DC power.
How did Nikola Tesla changed the way we use energy
Harris, W. (2018) stated in the late 19th century, two competing systems
existed to generate electricity: direct current (DC) and alternating current
(AC).Thomas Edison was a staunch supporter of DC power generation, but it
could not be transmitted economically over long distances. Nikola Tesla, who
immigrated to the United States in 1884, believed in A C power generation
and the Tesla coil was invented.
# In the late 19th century, there are two systems who are the one who
generated electricity: the direct current (DC) and the alternating current (AC).
One of the supporter of DC power generation was Thomas Edison, but it is
said that when it comes to long distances, it can’t be transmitted
economically. Nikola Tesla is still a firm believer and supporter of the AC
power generation and thus, Tesla coil is invented.
@ It is illustrated that in the late 19 th century, there are two systems who are
said to be the first two who generated electricity and that is the direct current
(DC) and the alternating current (AC) One of the avid supporter of the DC

power generation is the famous Thomas Edison, but it’s stated that during the
long distances it can’t be economically transmitted. Nikola Tesla still believes
and supports the AC power generation and thus, the Tesla coil was invented
by himself.
Benefits of Tesla
Shubham Roy (2017) concluded that Tesla’s technology will help us in
eradicating the hazardous uses of electrical wires and huge power losses in
transmission. It is envisaged that wireless energy would be really accomplished
with the advantage of easy implementation and cost effective i.e., cost of
transmission and distribution overhead would become less. In the long run, this
could reduce our society’s dependence on batteries, which are currently heavy
and expensive.
# Shubham Roy (2017) illustrated that the Tesla’s technology is a huge help
when it comes to eradicate the uses of hazard of using electrical wires and the
huge power losses in transmission. It is said that the wireless energy will be
possible with the advantage because it’s easy to be implemented and it’s cost
effective, the cost of all the transmission and even distribution would be lesser. It
will make us eradicate the dependence on batteries which are expensive and
heavy.
@ It is explained by Shubham Roy (2017) that Tesla’s Technology gave massive

help when it comes to eradicating the uses of the electrical wires which is
hazardous and even the power losses in transmission. It also explained that
wireless energy is possible and it will be an advantage because it can be
implemented easily and cost effective, all the cost of transmission and
distribution would be less. It will help to lessen the dependence of the consumers
to the batteries which are pricey and heavy.
