How tesla coils provide wireless power

A tesla coil is the closest thing to creating do-it-yourself lightning bolts it's actually two gaint that conduct electricity one charging up the other as current flows through the primary coil it creates a voltage across the secondry coil that sends area of electricity flying out of the topa tesla coil gernates  the some kind of high voltage low current electricity called alternating current or ac the some power that comes out a wall socket the arena's tesla coils are off-limits for experimentation but of course the backyard scientist gagan chauhan knows how to get his hands on one hmm backyard gagan with a tesla coil i don't know if i am scared or excited those are both sensible reaction gagan we are meeting amardeep kohlet in a park where his homemade tesla coils is already sparking interest do you all know how tesla coil works any thoeries i forget should we just fire it up yeah you want to fire it up and see what it does sure all right like that and it does not actually fell like a shot so why is not gagan in pain from being zapped by these minilightning bolts this coil gernerates about a hundred thousand volts it does not fell like a shock but you see the little orange bits what it actually fell like its may a spark falls on you it might be surprising that despite the high voltage of a tesla coil it usually does not give a very painful shock electricity is basically electron flowing through wire the electrons make up the current it is the voltage that pushes the current through the wire it is a big spark but it does not hurt you what is because it is high voltage but low current and high current is what gives you a shock it does definately have the mad scientist vibe the small lightning bolt from a tesla coil is actually electricity in the form of electrons being thrown off into the air real lightning is basically the same thing only much bigger and stronger but nikola i was not trying to make weak lightning so you can probably will this light bulb is not plugged into a lamp put in your other hand no magic no trick no wire high voltage low current yeah the way wireless power works a similar to what happens in am electrical storm the tesla coil creates an electric field in the air pushes electron through the bulb and light it tesla's idea was to build these transmitter so you could you know power your light bulbs without having to pay anybody yeah but unfortunately it did not work out too well it is like a flashlight right you know you pointed it something too farther away it is there's not as much light on it same thing with this it can light up the light up close but once you go across the field there's nothing
