Tesla Coil
CNMS Synthesis lab technician uses a Tesla coil to test the vacuum in an experimental apparatus. A Tesla coil is an electrical resonant transformer circuit invented by Nikola Tesla around 1891. It is used to produce high-voltage, low-current, high frequency alternating-current electricity. He used these coils to conduct innovative experiments in electrical lighting, phosphorescence, X-ray generation, high frequency alternating current phenomena, electrotherapy, and the transmission of electrical energy without wires. Today their main use is for entertainment and educational displays, although small coils are still used today as leak detectors for high vacuum systems.
