The Ultimate Tesla Coil Design and Construction Guide is the first book to explain both design and construction of the Tesla coil in a comprehensive manner. This book is full with over 200 detailed illustrations and coverage of all operating theory and calculation methods for Tesla coils.

This book also includes:
-Introduction to Coiling
-Designing a Spark Gap Tesla Coil
-Inductors and Air Core Transformers
-Capacitors
-Spark Gaps
-Using Computer Simulation to Verify Coil Design
-76 Hands on Worksheets
-Performance forecasts based on characteristics and calculations
-A Biography of Nikola Tesla

For an engineer that wants to make exacting calculations for his/her first Tesla coil this book has all the mathematical legwork done for you. This book would also be very useful as a supplement to electrical engineering courses in helping the student understand practical applications and how to perform SPICE analysis, one of the staples of everyday electrical engineering.
