Nikola Tesla was #BOTD in 1856. 120 years after he showed it in the Ri theatre, we recreated his famous Tesla coil demonstration. ⚡ At the base of the machine, voltage is boosted into a primary coil and capacitor (a bit like a battery), filling up until it streams into a spark gap and creating a magnetic field in the primary coil. This eventually collapses, generating an electric current in the secondary coil. Voltage surges across the two coils creating more sparks, filling the secondary capaci
