ABSTRACT

Electrical power is crucial to modern systems. From the smallest of sensors and

bionic implants to satellites, remote controlled airplanes/cars/robots and oil

platforms, it is important to be able to deliver power by means other than wires or

transmission lines. This paper exploratory research explores the current wireless

power transmission. This project was intended to provide scientific study and

experimentation of a mini Tesla coil. The specific goal of the research program

was to make an experimentation of mini Tesla coil wireless power transmission,

to testify how it works, its advantage and disadvantage as well as its possible

use. As the result of the experimentation, the researchers succeeded to make a

mini Tesla coil by only using copper, battery, capacitor, bread board, and a

circuit board of a fly swatter, the bulb lighted up with the use of the wireless

power transmission mini Tesla coil. This experimentation is easy to make, low

cost, less harmful, eco friendly, however it is less useful than the real Tesla coil.

This can only be a science project. Recommendation of this study is to be

resourceful enough if you are going to conduct an experimentation.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

The idea of transmitting power through the space was conceived over a

century ago, with Nikola Tesla’s pioneering ideas and experiments perhaps being

the most well-known early attempts to do so. As per Dickerson, K. (2014), the

first system that could wirelessly transmit electricity, is the Tesla coil, it was a

truly revolutionary invention. Among his numerous innovations, Nikola Tesla

dreamed of creating a way to supply power to the world without stringing wires

across the globe. The inventor came close to accomplishing this when his "mad

scientist" experiments with electricity led to his creation of the Tesla coil. His

vision was to wirelessly distribute power over large distances using the earth’s

ionosphere.

Hartsfield, T. (2014) stated that the power of the Tesla coil lies in a process

called electromagnetic induction, i.e., a changing magnetic field creates an

electric potential that compels current to flow. Conversely, flowing electric current

generates a magnetic field. Most approaches to wireless power transfer use an

MINI TESLA COIL WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION


MARANATHA CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF DAU

electromagnetic (EM) field of some frequency as the means by which the energy

is sent.

According to Dickerson, K. (2014) The power source is hooked up to the

primary coil. The primary coil's capacitor acts like a sponge and soaks up the

charge. The primary coil itself must be able to withstand the massive charge and

huge surges of current, so the coil is usually made out of copper, a good

conductor of electricity. Eventually, the capacitor builds up so much charge that it

breaks down the air resistance in the spark gap. Then, similar to squeezing out a

soaked sponge, the current flows out of the capacitor down the primary coil and

creates a magnetic field. The massive amount of energy makes the magnetic

field collapse quickly, and generates an electric current in the secondary coil. The

voltage zipping through the air between the two coils creates sparks in the spark

gap. The energy sloshes back and forth between the two coils several hundred

times per second, and builds up in the secondary coil and capacitor. Eventually,

the charge in the secondary capacitor gets so high that it breaks free in a

spectacular burst of electric current. The resulting high-frequency voltage can

illuminate fluorescent bulbs several feet away with no electrical wire connection.

In the study of Brown, W. (1984) he stated that it is also possible to transmit

power using non-radiative fields. As an example, the operation of a transformer

MINI TESLA COIL WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION


MARANATHA CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF DAU

can be considered a form of wireless power transfer since it uses the principle of

magnetic induction to transfer energy from a primary coil to a secondary coil

without a direct electrical connection. However, for these systems to operate

efficiently, the primary coil (source) and secondary coil (device) must be located

in close proximity and carefully positioned with respect to one another. From a

technical point of view, this means the magnetic coupling between the source

and device coils must be large for proper operation. To overcome the above

challenges, that is, to transmit somewhat larger distances or have more freedom

in positioning the source and device relative to each other.

This Mini Tesla Coil Circuit is very simple and works with a help of working

copper wire, battery, and so on, an amateur can build a mini Tesla coil that can

enlighten up a bulb. There are a handful number of people who have tried this

project already and have failed to obtain the result. This project was intended to

provide scientific study and experimentation of a mini Tesla coil. The specific

goal of the research is to make an experimentation of Mini Tesla Coil, to know

how it works, its advantages and disadvantages, and the possible use of it.

REVIEW RELATED LITERATURE

Electricity has been long invented and used since the early 1800s as

stated by National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (2014). Nikola Tesla has been

spending his time doing his Research order to improve it. By that time, the

science of electric current is just starting. Until Tesla introduced his own research

that he called as “Tesla coil”. It is a transformer that produces high-frequency but

it creates high voltage at a very low current. Tesla produced different variations

on his own invention. He didn’t stop to research about the lighting, x-rays and

electric power transmission. But today, the Tesla coils are often customized to

make streetlamps. When it comes to the effects for the movies Tesla coil was

used to produce the effects for the film “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” of the

year 1979.

-During 1800s science of electric current is just starting that’s why Nikola

Tesla has been doing a research on how to improve it. He came up with an

MARANATHA CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF DAU

invention about Tesla coil, it is a transformer that produces high frequency that

creates high voltage in a very low current. Nikola Tesla made different variations

of his inventions, he didn’t just focus in lighting, x-rays and electric power

transmission. Nowadays, tesla coils have often used to customized to make

streetlamps and the movie “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” in the year 1979 used

tesla coil to produce effects.

Harris, W. (2018) elaborated that in the late 19th century, there are two

systems who are the one who generated electricity: the direct current (DC) and

the alternating current (AC). One of the supporter of DC power generation was

Thomas Edison, but it is said that when it comes to long distances, it can’t be

transmitted economically. Nikola Tesla is still a firm believer and supporter of the

AC power generation and thus, Tesla coil is invented.

-It is illustrated that in the late 19th century, there are two systems who are

said to be the first two who generated electricity and that is the direct current

(DC) and the alternating current (AC) One of the avid supporter of the DC power

generation is the famous Thomas Edison, but it’s stated that during the long

distances it can’t be economically transmitted. Nikola Tesla still believes and

supports the AC power generation and thus, the Tesla coil was invented by

himself.

shahadalsudais (2016) explained that the idea of Tesla’s free energy is

brilliant but his invention was never used. Despite of that, this idea is getting

MINI TESLA COIL WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION


MARANATHA CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF DAU

more attention now due to the issues of light of energy conservation. The Fix the

World Project is doing its best to promote the use of the Tesla coil in order to

solve the problem of the world when it comes to the energy problems.

- As per Shahadalsudais (2016), he explained that Tesla’s idea of free

energy is appealing to the people but his invention was still never used. Despite

of that, Tesla’s idea is getting famous now because of the issue’s conservation of

the light and energy. The Project which is called Fix the World Project is

spending their time promoting to use the Tesla coil in order to help with the

problem of the world with the energy. But the Netizens are having a hard time

believing with it. Thus, they said that the project will not be successful.

As stated by the pioneer in the wireless transmission technology

Brown, C has said to be the one who designed and developed a unit which

demonstrates on how to show the power being transferred through the free

spaces by the microwaves. The rectenna on the receiving side is the one who

is transmitting the power and the one who converts the power of the

microwave into the DC power.

-As said by Brown, C who is a known pioneer of the wireless

transmission technology is the one who designed and developed the unit

which is demonstrating on how it works particularly on how the power is being

transferred through the spaces by the use of microwave. On the receiving

MINI TESLA COIL WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION


MARANATHA CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF DAU

area, there is a so-called rectenna which is the one who is responsible for the

transmitting and converting of the power of the microwave to the DC power.

It is explained by Shubham Roy (2017) that Tesla’s Technology gave

massive help when it comes to eradicating the uses of the electrical wires which

is hazardous and even the power losses in transmission. It also explained that

wireless energy is possible and it will be an advantage because it can be

implemented easily and cost effective, all the cost of transmission and

distribution would be less. It will help to lessen the dependence of the consumers

to the batteries which are pricey and heavy. One stationary coil could power

multiple devices with receiving coils. No more messy wires, and with widespread

enough use. Now adays, they are currently used for musical performance,

museums and to remember the developments of Nikola Tesla.

-Tesla technology gave a massive contribution in lessening the uses of

electrical wires which is risky and also the power losses in transmission. It is

possible that wireless energy has an advantage of implementing easily and it’s

cost effective to lessen the cost of transmission and distribution. Also, there will

be no longer have messy wires. It can be a tool to decreased the usage of

batteries which are heavy and pricey. A single stationary coil can power multiple

devices with receiving coils. Today, it is frequently used for musical performance,

museums, and to remember the developments of Nikola Tesla.

However, there are disadvantage of Tesla coil according to

WordPress.com (2016), it is deeply inefficient. Power you can receive drops off

exponentially as you move further away. these are minor electrocutions from

getting too close to the coil, more prevalent when building than any other time. It

can also cause ozone poisoning: high voltage produces large amounts of ozone

which can be dangerous if breathed in too much, radio frequency interference:

continuous oscillation, such as in a solid state Tesla Coil, can produce radio

waves that will cook flesh without being noticed because of their low frequency

and allowing metal parts attached to flammable materials nearby could catch fire

and cause huge problems.

-The capricious nature of natural conductors prevents worldwide wireless

energy from being feasible because it would endanger so many people, and be

hard to control and regulate. However, a mini tesla coil won’t cause that harmful

because it is only the mini version of the Tesla coil and it wouldn’t be having a

higher voltage and frequency just like the Tesla tower.

Tesla’s idea is very brilliant but it never been that successful, King, G.

(2013) stated that in 1899 Tesla set up a laboratory at Colorado Springs, CO. He

believed incorrectly that he could use the entire globe of the Earth to conduct

electrical energy. His observations led him to believe a high voltage used in a coil

at an elevation of a few hundred feet would "break the air stratum down",

eliminating the need for miles of cable. In 1901, at Shoreham, Long Island he

MINI TESLA COIL WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION


MARANATHA CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF DAU

began work on Wardenclyffe Tower, but by 1904 funding provided by J. P.

Morgan dried up and the facility was never completed. Tesla failed to make a

commercial product out of his findings but his resonant inductive coupling

method is now widely used in electronics and is currently being applied to short-

range wireless power systems such as wireless chargers for smartphones and

other devices using low-voltage lithium batteries. It is theoretically possible to

transmit electromagnetic energy through highly focused microwaves and even

lasers, but there must be a line-of-sight receiver at the other end, which makes

such a system impractical.

-Modern applications of wireless transmission of energy have succeeded in

doing, only for a few feet, and not the hundreds or thousands of miles Tesla

envisioned. Tesla’s failure was simply a matter of mistakenly believing electrical

energy could be transmitted through the Earth itself, which was a common

misconception at the time, and lack of funding to continue his experiments

There is a mini version of Tesla coil and it was called a “Mini Tesla Coil”.

Raj, A. (2017) illustrated Mini Tesla Coil Circuit is very simple and just works with

a help of 9V battery and very few commonly available electronic components,

which makes it is very easy to build. For a mini Tesla coil a conductor will be

called as the secondary coil and the varying magnetic field will be produced by

the primary coil by passing an oscillating current through the primary coil. When

MINI TESLA COIL WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION


MARANATHA CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF DAU

this project succeeded the making process, it is possible to lighten up a small

light bulb.

-A Tesla Coil is always fun to build and will definitely make your project

look cool and attractive. A Tesla Coil is a simple coil that creates an electric field

in the air when a small input power (9V) is provided, this electric filed is strong

enough to glow small light bulbs.

Dickerson, K. (2014) elaborated that a Tesla coil consists of two parts: a

primary coil and secondary coil, each with its own capacitor. (Capacitors store

electrical energy just like batteries.) The two coils and capacitors are connected

by a spark gap — a gap of air between two electrodes that generates the spark

of electricity. An outside source hooked up to a transformer powers the whole

system. Essentially, the Tesla coil is two open electric circuits connected to a

spark gap.

-Tesla coil has two parts which are the primary coil and the secondary coil

that has its own capacitor that store electrical energy. The two coils and

capacitors are linked by a spark gap which is a gap of air between two electrodes

that produced spark of electricity. Tesla coil is two open electric circuits joint to a

spark gap. The external source curved into the transformer to power the whole

system.

Bayer, U (2019) illustrated that a mini Tesla coil functions through the

principle of electromagnetic induction in which a conductor is placed in a

changing magnetic field and produces voltage across the conductor. Early radio

antennas and telegraphs used the technology and although the Tesla coil is not

widely used today, the revolutionary invention introduced and demonstrated the

wireless application of electricity. By building a mini Tesla coil, you will be able to

produce an oscillating radio frequency to generate a high enough voltage to

illuminate a light bulb all by itself.

-The function of mini tesla coil functions by the principle of electromagnetic

MARANATHA CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF DAU

This chapter presents the research design and the materials that were

used in making a mini Tesla coil, the research instrument and also includes the

methods used to gather the data needed, the procedures followed for the

experimental research.

This study used experimental type of research in which the researchers

tried to construct a mini Tesla coil, although some tried to make one, some failed

and some works, the researchers would like to make of mini Tesla coil using a

Primary and Secondary Coil, as the main component of the study, a transformer

has two coil an alternating current flows in the primary coil and this induces a

voltage in the secondary coil (SchoolScience.com)

The experimentation is done in in five trials, in first attempt, the

researchers used enameled copper wire with more than 600 turns, a 9 V battery,

capacitors with 4000 V (Volts) and 3.87 nF (nano Farad), bread board, and a

circuit board of a fly swatter, in constructing the mini tesla coil and the result is

that the bulb did not lighted up that much. In the second attempt, the researchers

added the quantity of the capacitors with11600 V with 1.23 nF, the result

improved by far, the bulb lighted up but not that much again, same goes in the

third attempt where in the researchers changed the quantity of the capacitors

with 12000 V and 1.32 nF, the result is getting better, the bulb lighted up but no

that bright, but brighter than the first and the second attempt, the fourth attempt

has the same changed the quantity of the capacitors in 13200 V with 1.34 nF,

MINI TESLA COIL WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION


MARANATHA CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF DAU

the result is that the bulb lighted better than the past attempts, but it wasn’t

enough, so the researchers made a last trial where in _____________________

and at last, it succeeded, the bulb lighted up brighter as it could ever be. The

researchers then conclude that their experimentation worked.

The data were gathered upon the testing of the mini Tesla coil weather if it

works or not. The researchers gathered data every attempt of making a mini

tesla coil and the replacement and changes of the materials each attempt.

Appropriate experimental design and statistical data analyses are

significant to present the result of the study. When the data were collected and

inspected, the researchers analyzed the output and computed of each trials that

were made.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

SUMMARY OF THE FINDINGS

Nikola Tesla the inventor of Tesla Coil, a wireless power that can be

defined as the transmission of electrical energy from a power source to an

electrical load without connecting wires. The main concept of this project is to

design a device for the concept of wireless power transfer to eliminate the use

conventional copper cables and also current carrying wires, a mini version of

Tesla coil. The researchers made at least five trials, first, second and third

doesn’t seem to succeed that much though it still enlightened the bulb but the

bulb didn’t lighted that bright, so the researchers tried to added the quantity of the

capacitor and the result is getting more better but it’s not enough, the last attempt

finally worked by __________________ the bulb lighted up brightly than the

previous attempts.

This project is built upon using the appropriate materials such as the

MINI TESLA COIL WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION


MARANATHA CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF DAU

(PUT THE MATERIALS IN THE FINAL ATTEMPT) The Tesla coil

works with the principle of Electromagnetic Induction. According to which, when a

conductor is placed under a varying magnetic field, a small current will be

induced inside the conductor. For a Tesla coil this conductor will be called as the

secondary coil and the varying magnetic field will be produced by the primary coil

by passing an oscillating current through the primary coil. Tesla coils generate

high frequency and voltage and low current that travel on the skin (outside) of a

conductor and short distances through air. When this voltage is applied to a gas

filled tube such as mercury, neon or argon it activates the electrons inside the

tube causing a glow. Especially in fluorescent lighting this gas strikes the gas and

the phosphors inside the tube causing them to emit light, this what makes the

mini Tesla coil light a bulb.

The mini tesla coil advantage is that it is easy to make, it only requires a

copper, battery, capacitor, bread board, and a circuit board of a fly swatter, it is

also low cost, less dangerous, less noisy, and eco-friendly compare to the actual

tesla coil. However, the disadvantage of mini tesla coil is that it is hard to find

some of the materials needed like the capacitor because the needed voltage is

higher and the researchers had no choice but to purchase from an overseas

shop in order to have the material. Also, it is inefficient for longer distances.

Moreover, it doesn’t have that much of a use.

MINI TESLA COIL WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION


MARANATHA CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF DAU

The possible use of mini Tesla coil is it can be use for science project, and

if someone is interested about the invention of Nikola Tesla, they can try making

this mini tesla coil.

CONCLUSIONS

Wireless energy transmission is a process in which electrical energy is

transmitted from a power source such as a Tesla coil to an electrical load without

the use of physical connection. Tesla coil was an invention of Sir Nikola Tesla,

The man was genius, although his invention doesn’t have that much of a use

because of it hazards that may cause to people and the ozone layer. Because of

the curiosity of the researchers, they tried to build a mini Tesla coil, a mini

version of Tesla coil that it’s enough to lighten up a bulb by wireless power

transmission. By using copper, 9 V battery, capacitor, bread board, and a circuit

board of a fly swatter, the project succeeded. (PUT HOW IT WORKS). This mini

Tesla coil is easy to assemble and it has only simple design, this output is pretty

less expensive, less harmful, less noise, and eco-friendly unlike the real Tesla

coil. Yet, just like the real Tesla coil, it is ineffective for longer distances, the

researchers also struggled to find some of its materials and over all, it is not that

useful. This project is only good for a science project and for those who love the

idea of wireless power transmission.
