 DESCRIPTION:
This fine offering provides a comprehensive
engineering analysis of the "disruptive discharge" resonance
transformer. Included along with the book is IBM compatible "TCTUTOR
—
A Personal Computer Analysis of Spark Gap Tesla Coils." The book
and accompanying software place particular emphasis upon examining the
historically significant Colorado Springs oscillator constructed by
Nikola Tesla in 1899. Included is an extensive RF power processing
tutorial which is aimed at the Junior/Senior Physics or Electrical
Engineering audience. While a firm understanding of Maxwell's Equations
and some background in microwave engineering would be necessary to fully
grasp these concepts, the authors do a fine job of translating the
mathematical formulae and expressing them verbally in an easily
comprehendible style. The software, written for the IBM family of
personal computers, features routines for the examination of time
domain, Fourier spectrum, and resonator performance. Unlike the
analytical portion of this package, the program assumes only that the
user is generally familiar with the basic construction of Tesla coils.
It has been designed to be as easy to use as possible, and yet not be
overly simplistic.
