8. UC Santa Cruz Tesla at St. Ignatius College Prep Lightning Jacob’s Ladder Corona Tesla Sparks are all related. Lightning Jacob’s Ladder Corona Tesla Sparks are all related. Principle:Air becomes ionized, and therefore conducts electricity. Lot’s of it, so the current heats up the air, excites the atoms/molecules which emit light.

16. n Let’s get to know the Tesla Coil UC Santa Cruz Tesla at St. Ignatius College Prep

17. Voltage starts at 120 ends up at 1 million! Transformer 14,000 volt Outlet 120 volt Resonance circuit 1 million volt Ask your teachers about details! UC Santa Cruz Tesla at St. Ignatius College Prep Principle of the Tesla Coil

18. UC Santa Cruz Tesla at St. Ignatius College Prep TransformerTransformer Power out = Power in Power = Volt  Current Power out = Power in Power = Volt  Current Later on in class you will see a Transformer demonstration. Where have you seen this before? Power in Power out

19. UC Santa Cruz Tesla at St. Ignatius College Prep Electrical current flows on the OUTSIDE of a metal! In a thunderstorm stay in the car! Ground The armored suit is safe! n It's a Faraday Cage – no electric field allowed inside The armored suit is safe! n It's a Faraday Cage – no electric field allowed inside Invisible current Visible sparks

20. UC Santa Cruz Tesla at St. Ignatius College Prep Resonance circuit Amplitude = Force M (f 2 natural – f 2 force ) A kick at the right frequency build up and gets you sky-high!
