THE ACTIVITY WILL BE IN ENGLISH.

Kort beskrivelse af aktiviteten: The objective is to build a small tesla coil and to test it in our high-voltage lab. The students can build the frame in our 3D printer, put the wires and then generate some sparks. This is not an easy project, so we will have to provide the dimensions and other design parameters. However, the students can have a project where they explain the basic design and do some small tuning. They can simulate the circuit and compare some parameters to measurements.

Faglig relevans: Physics – level A, 3.G., HTX.

Nøgleord: Tesla coil, High voltage, electromagnetic fields
