Nikola Tesla The Ultimate Coil Design and construction Guide.
Customer Review 1:
If all you want to do is “make a Tesla coil and watch the pretty sparks” then I agree this book may be over your head, and yes to truly understand all that is in this book you will need a good electronics background. Having said that then the only other thing that can be said about this book is that it is without question the most comprehensive treatise ever written thus far regarding the theories and disciplines of Nikola Tesla. The electrical principles that Tesla was working on are still to this day not totally understood. From all that is in this book, it may be that the author, Mr. Tilbury, understands and knows more about Tesla’s theories than anyone else there is. If you too would like to truly understand Tesla’s theories, then this book is for you. This book would also be very useful as a supplement to electrical engineering courses in helping the student understand practical applications and how to perform SPICE analysis, one of the staples of everyday electrical engineering.
Customer Review 2:
This is an extremely detailed treatment of the theory and the practical design considerations of building Tesla coils, primarily those based on spark gaps. There is scarcely mention made of vacuum tube or solid-state based coils, but the author seems to have chosen to cover the basics exhaustively rather than try to reach into every corner of present-day Tesla coil design.
Others have protested the book’s math-intensive nature, but some things (the Manhattan Project, the Apollo program, etc) just can’t be done–correctly–without heavy mathematics, and this is one of them. I did find the book’s CONSTANT references back to the author’s (freely available) Excel spreadsheets a bit distracting. (It’s hard enough to try and absorb the physical principles involved without constantly having to read around cell addresses.)
All in all, though, this is THE best summary of the principles of Tesla Coil design and operation I have found.

Nikola Tesla – The Untold Story
This program reveals the discoveries of a forgotten genius, many of which went virtually unnoticed for nearly a century. Nikola Tesla is considered the father of our modern technological age and one of the most mysterious and controversial scientists in history.
How did this obscure visionary from what is now Yugoslavia, lay the foundation for modern communications and energy research? Nikola Tesla´s contributions to science and technology include the invention of radio, television, radio-astronomy, remote control and robotics, radar, medical x-ray and the wireless transmission of electricity.
Many of Nikola Tesla´s inventions were and in some cases still are considered too revolutionary by government agencies and the power brokers of the time and are discussed in detail in this program. Encyclopedia Britannica lists Nikola Tesla as one of the top ten most fascinating people in history.
So why is he virtually unknown to the general public?
This program is a penetrating study of the life and mind of a scientific superman who, against all odds, dedicated his life to the task of designing and improving technology for the service and advancement of humanity. Nikola Tesla: The Genius Who Lit The World – NOW on DVD -
