The ULTIMATE Tesla
Coil Design and Construction Guide
by
Mitch Tilbury
The only book available to
cover the Tesla coil in so much detail!
The Ultimate Tesla Coil Design and Construction Guide
is the first book to explain both design and
construction of the Tesla coil in a comprehensive manner. This
unique reference uses current design software and specifications,
and fully explains the operating theory for each part involved in
Tesla coil design.
A
one-stop reference covering the theory, design tools, and techniques
necessary to create the Tesla coil using modern materials.
This unique resource utilizes Excel spreadsheets to perform
calculations and SPICE simulation models on the companion
website to enhance understanding of coil performance and operating
theory.
Packed with over 200 detailed illustrations,
this design tool presents step-by-step information on
coiling...using computer simulation to verify coil design...coil
construction...engineering aids,,,and much more.

About the
Author:
Mitch Tilbury grew up on
a farm in a small town in Minnesota. A move to Colorado as a
teenager found him graduating high school in 1975 and leaving for
boot camp in the U.S. Marine Corps.
A twenty year military career as an electronics technician and
CH-46 helicopter crew chief in the U.S.
Navy brought him to retirement in 1998. He graduated Summa cum Laude
from Southern Illinois University in 1991.
Mitch transitioned to the space industry as a Reliability
Engineer and Engineering Analyst where he currently conducts worst
case performance, electrical stress, and failure modes and effects
analyses, reliability predictions and a host of engineering tasks
which assist in spacecraft design.
