Electricity can touch!
Only the inventions of Nikola Tesla, bear his name today. This is a classic resonant transformer producing high voltage at high frequency.

Tesla transformer output voltage can reach several million volts. This voltage is a resonance frequency capable of producing impressive electrical discharges in air, which may have a length multimeter. These phenomena have fascinated people for different reasons, so the Tesla transformer is used as a decorative item.






















The unknown effects of Tesla transformer

Many people believe that the Tesla coil - a special artifacts with exceptional properties. It is believed that Tesla transformer can be a generator of free energy and perpetual motion is based on the fact that he himself Tesla believed that his generator takes energy from the ether (special invisible matter in which electromagnetic waves) through the spark gap. Sometimes you can hear with the help of "Tesla Coil" You can create anti-gravity and efficiently transmit energy over long distances without wires. These properties have not been tested and are not supported by science. However, he told Tesla that such powers will soon be available to mankind by means of his inventions. But later I found that people are not ready for it.

It is also very common argument that discharges emitted by Tesla transformer, completely safe and can be touched by hands. This is not quite true. The medicine is also used "Tesla coil" for the recovery of the skin. This treatment has positive results and a beneficial effect on the skin, but the design of medical transformers varies greatly with the design of the ordinary. Therapeutic generators is very different from the high frequency output current at which the thickness of the skin layer (see. The skin effect), small safe, and extremely low power. A thickness of the skin layer to the average Tesla coils from 1 mm to 5 mm and its power is enough to warm up the skin layer, disrupting the natural chemical processes. A long exposure of these currents may develop serious chronic diseases, malignant tumors and other negative consequences. In addition, it should be noted that the presence of explosives in the RF field of the coil (even without direct contact with the current) can negatively affect health. It is important to note that the human nervous system does not perceive high-frequency current and the pain is not felt, but nevertheless, it could start a deadly human processes. There is also a risk of poisoning gases generated during operation of the transformer in a closed room without fresh air. Plus, you can burn yourself as the temperature of the discharge is usually sufficient for minor burns (and sometimes for a large), and if people still want to "catch" a bit, it should be done through any conductor (such as a metal rod) . In this case, the hot discharge of direct contact with the skin will not, and the current flows through the first conductor and then through the body.
