C = 0.019 f The goal of the this project was extend our knowledge of
electrical electronics engineering and shed some light on the
technical and artistic nature of Tesla coils, while attempting to
create a unique and tesla coil. The coil that was created was
capable of producing spark and spark was limited only by the

such a coil. While designing the tesla coil we learned many
things from our high voltage concepts and it also helpful in
