Tesla Coil



Hello dear readers, I have pulled finally
my old Command & Conquer games from the shelf, and when I'm so taken playing before me, me that Tesla coils are noticed. These large towers the huge lightning create out of nothing. I was wondering if it would be possible as recreating a device and I have something to do with the story of a Tesla coil (eng.: Tesla Coil) deals.

The Tesla transformer was named after its inventor and builder Nikola Tesla (1856-1943). He is a Transformer for generating high-frequency alternating currents with very high voltage. The goal of Tesla's, the construction of his transformer was to wireless transfer of energy, but appropriated by the Tesla coil is not.





But what, then, is a Tesla coil? How to be built?
is basically a Tesla coil from 2 mutually unconnected coil (primary coil and secondary coil). A capacitor provides the power necessary to charge the primary coil. The primary coil produced by the interaction with the secondary coil a voltage. This tension reached such a high level that it discharges in air. This creates the striking flashes of light.
The Tesla coil is strictly speaking not seen a real transformer, because it has some features which distinguish it from such. These would be as follows:

• he has NO nuclear


• the coils are only limited by physical proximity coupled


• it consists of two resonant circuits, which are in resonance with each other


• the energy is transferred by this resonance

For building a Tesla coil will need the following materials:

• a high-capacity transformer with about 100 to 5000W and a Output voltage of about 4 to 20 kV (4,000 to 20,000 volts;)). A television transformer would have to be this way.


• the primary capacitor. This should have 1 to 100 nF at a voltage strength of 8 to 40 kV. Such capacitors can be found on the mainstream market, but barely so, just a few normal capacitors in series to achieve the required dielectric strength.


• coils: the primary coil with the flat coil is placed around the secondary coil and is only loosely coupled. The secondary coil is located inside the primary coil and is rotated at about 500 to 2000 turns. As a bobbin, an old drainage pipe with 5 to 30 cm diameter are used.


• the torus. He sits on top of the secondary coil and flush closes the circuit to ground (the air or ceiling).

For the secondary resonant circuit, we do not need a capacitor, since the coil with high number of turns of your own to add a good power storage.





now feel if someone thought to want to assemble yourself a Tesla coil, I would like to point out that this transformer generates a VERY HIGH voltage and you should be very careful in handling.
should also be considered and these are grounded in work on the capacitors of the power cord. Tesla coils produce A DEADLY CURRENT!

Here is a very impressive video of a Tesla coil in action.








I hope you had fun reading again. Until next time

Crashart-News (Important for English or French Visitors)

Hello dear readers,

now there already some news on my blog.
I've just thought this whole banner on my page, really terrible. just do not fit into the picture).
So, all the advertising, I just simply thrown out once, but I'm in my Links bar a link to my new store created, now find looks back ordered from here.

Well, the Babel Fish Tool skin still not go, do not know what is going on. Have now been with Yahoo rumgemailt but there is nothing, so just wait. (For all English or French Visitors, the Bable Fish tool-is out of order at the moment. I work hard to fix this problem. To see my side in your language Please visit the Google Translation Tool here )

I I also installed a new flash banner at the top, think it looks kind of funny;) says what you?
Sun until the next time

The Translation Tool is online again. You can find it on top.

Flatout 2



Hello dear readers, I
you would like to present the game Flatout 2 of Empire Interactive .
For Flatout 2 deals mostly about other vehicles with fender benders sent from the road to shoot. However, this is not all. In the "Mini-Games mode, players can try to overcome them, such as: bowling, Royal Flash, darts, and high jump. Each of these mini-games while running from the following Mazen, the player accelerates his car at top speed and catapulted it to the dummy in a given direction to the target (the better he makes, the more points it).
The official race be run on routes that have been implemented graphically properly. can be hazards such as: in the woods, in town or in an arena (as then in Destruction Derby).
course, we can completely destroy any vehicle, the physics is unique. So if you are not careful, it may well be that the car is not much remains but a heap of scrap;).
Also noteworthy is the game environment. It can be almost completely destroyed.
The sound of the game is compared to the competitors raised the bar. While it is invariably played rock, which it does not by any no-name bands, but by the likes of Nickelback, Papa Roach and Rob Zombie.
In total there are 34 vehicles in the game. Beginning with the muscle cars of pickups to sports cars.
The requirements on the local computer are at least as high as the game is good.
