Part 7/8:
The interaction between the primary and secondary windings generates high-voltage electrical discharges, which manifest as dramatic electric arcs.
Practical Applications and Limitations
Tesla’s vision of wireless power is indeed compelling, but it raises the question: why haven’t we fully embraced this technology on a wider scale? While the eye-catching electric arcs produced by Tesla coils serve for visual display purposes, they do not efficiently transmit usable electric power.
In practical applications, this technology finds its parallels in everyday wireless communication—such as radio signals, where specific frequencies can be tuned for power transmission.
