Giant Nikola Tesla coils found abandoned in Russia. If it never worked, why do it on a large scale? The Tesla coil is a type of resonant transformer circuit invented by Nikola Tesla around 1891. It was used to produce a high voltage of electricity directly from Ether. pic.twitter.com/8rTUIhldNZ

That time that former Truthprovers presenter George Gentle
played the Inspector Spacetime theme using Tesla coils? Epic!

A small art project over the past 2 weeks while recovering from COVID :') I nicknamed it coveel 1-9. I'm on week 3 of recovery and still struggling with fatigue but so glad it's getting a bit better each day!

The Evolution of the Tesla Coil
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nikola Tesla invented the Tesla coil as part of his exploration into lighting, wireless power transmission, and radiofrequency experiments. He developed the coil to produce high-voltage, low current, high-frequency electricity. The Tesla coil consists of primary and secondary coils that are inductively coupled, and the circuit is designed to resonate at a specific frequency. This resonance enhances the efficiency of energy transfer between the coils, enabling the generation of high-voltage, high-frequency alternating current.
His first Tesla coil was a bipolar coil created around 1891, and was demonstrated before scientific institutes from 1891-1893. His patents reveal that they were essentially intended for light production using both high frequency and high voltage at the same time. He also mentions in his patents how he discovered that a single wire could be used to light a light bulb. Generally, light bulbs require two wires to operate – one for the positive (live or hot) and one for the negative (neutral). He also discarded wires completely lighting bulbs wirelessly. Tesla improved upon the bipolar coil over many years using them for gas engine ignition, wireless, ozone production, and to create undamped waves.
In 1893, Tesla developed the bifilar spiral coil, which is a type of coil wound with two parallel wires, known as bifilar winding. The wires are wound side by side in a spiral pattern, maintaining close proximity throughout the coil. It was built in an attempt to avoid the employment of condensers, which are expensive and difficult to maintain. The coils themselves were meant to accomplish the same ultimate object as the condensers.

In 1894, Tesla evolved his coil into a conical coil. A conical coil refers to a coil or winding in the shape of a cone. These coils were sometimes employed in his wireless power transmission experiments and other electrical investigations. The shape of the coil can influence its inductance, capacitance, and resonance properties, impacting its performance in different applications. This coil allowed Tesla to reach tensions of 1 million volts.

In 1897, Tesla developed the flat spiral coil, similar to his bifilar coil. This type of coil forms a flat, spiral pattern. The specific shape and dimensions of the coil can influence its inductance and other electrical properties. The main reason Tesla started using flat spiral coils was because they were relatively safe, since the highest potential terminal is at the center, and also because they better suppressed the sparks, which were essentially losses in the circuit, allowing him to achieve higher voltages:

Another version of his coils was his Helical coil. A helical coil is a coil wound in the shape of a helix or spiral. The helical coil configuration is characterized by the wires being wound around a cylindrical form in a continuous spiral pattern. Tesla utilized helical coils throughout the late 1890s and in his Colorado Springs Experiments. The coils were used in his wireless transmission experiments, and he employed helical resonators to investigate the behavior of electromagnetic waves. The helical shape offers specific electrical properties and can influence the resonance and performance of the coil in certain applications.
Finally, the Tesla coil would eventually evolve into his Magnifying Transmitter. Tesla designed it as part of his wireless power transmission experiments. The magnifying transmitter was intended to efficiently transmit electrical energy over long distances without the need for wires. The system involved a large coil, often called the magnifying transmitter coil, which could produce high-frequency, high-voltage electrical currents. Tesla believed that this technology could revolutionize global communication and provide a means for delivering electrical power wirelessly by using the earth itself as a conductor.
Tumblr media
The magnifying transmitter would become his Wardenclyffe Tower. Unfortunately, Tesla ended up lacking the investments and funds to finish his work in its entirety. Some say he failed because his idea didn’t work, but that’s not true at all because his Colorado experiments proved that they did. In his head, the transmission of energy was a matter of engineering. If he had a machine that could send energy 20 miles, then he could build a machine that could send energy a thousand miles. As long as he understands the motive power, he could build a machine that will do all that he requires of it. He simply underestimated the cost of his system. His failures to finish his work would leave him with the public persona as being the mad scientist who had unrealistic ideas for the future.
Ultimately, Tesla would not realize his dream of providing humankind with cheap, unlimited energy in his lifetime; however, his legacy forever lives on through the incredibly impactful experiments, and the evolution of the Tesla Coil.
“Technical invention is akin to architecture and the experts must in time come to the same conclusions I have reached long ago. Sooner or later my power system will have to be adopted in its entirety and so far as I am concerned it is as good as done. If I were ever assailed by doubt of ultimate success I would dismiss it by remembering the words of that great philosopher, Lord Kelvin, who after witnessing some of my experiments said to me with tears in his eyes: ‘I am sure you will do it.’”--Nikola Tesla

For scientists, this can be the hardest thing about dreams.
Tesla Coil [Explained]
Transcript
[Cueball and Black Hat stand near a tesla coil mounted on a table.] Cueball: I finally finished my Tesla Coil!
[The room is dark; the characters appear as faint blue outlines on black background. Cueball turns on the Tesla Coil and it sparks white static electricity.] click Black Hat: Cool, but—
[Lightning shoots out of Black Hat's hands, Cueball appears to be in shock and awe.] Black Hat: Check this out!
[The lights are back on, Cueball's arms are raised in amazement.] Cueball: How did you do that? Black Hat: The world doesn't actually make any sense. Science doesn't work. No one told you because you're so cute when you get into something.
[Black Hat floats up the frame, and Cueball is pointing towards Black Hat.] Black Hat: Still, neat toy. Cueball: Now you're hovering! Black Hat: I guess you're still not getting this.

fritz finally gets to try his jacket on :>
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Originally, curly antennae meant that Comet was flustered, but i... always draw curly antennae, out of habit. So instead they coil up!
Tumblr media
also fritz would try to eat comet's face at least once now that his jaws have been given the size and flexibility to open that wide.
Tumblr media
Random thing I keep forgetting about Fritz? His eyes are just little rectangles underneath the glasses that i constantly forget to make explicit that they're glasses.
Despite being in someone else's body, they're reminiscent of the eyes he used to have before the unsuccessful attempt at bringing back Yasmin (context in pics)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Despite having Lucas' soul, he has no memories of being Lucas, nor any memories before he was "resurrected."
But because of his new memories and new life, he acts nothing like Lucas. He's someone else now.
(quite a literal approach to the trans experience of "being in the wrong body," huh.)
(unrelated but also, he DIY'd his top surgery and made a homemade, custom guillotine to chop those melons right off. He almost died.)
Tumblr media
Bonus: very shitty and indecipherable sketches of Comet's "new" vocal organs, a weird bundle of flesh pipes. I've put a lot of thought into how he'd sound, not much thought into how he'd make that sound. Even though once I made this post I realized a 4-sectioned syrinx does accomplish the deed of singing 4 notes at once just fine, So I accomplished.... like... nothing, doing this.
Though, I really need to figure out an organ for Bass. I always imagined he'd have a Whole Different Thing for that, but I never drew it. That and percussion, though I imagined his molars might be made a certain way so it'd make a noise when he snapped his jaws at something but. I'm not sure how. I know he has a speaker built in but he's a MUSIC man. I feel like it would be cool if he was able to make music off of pure Body Weirdness
