Description
BD243 MINI Tesla Coil DIY Kit
The BD243 MINI Tesla Coil DIY Kit is an educational electronics kit designed to demonstrate high-frequency oscillation, electromagnetic induction and wireless power transfer. It uses a BD243/BD243C transistor, a wound secondary coil and a simple oscillator circuit to generate a high-frequency electric field. When assembled correctly, the coil can illuminate small fluorescent or neon lamps wirelessly when brought near the coil. The kit is suitable for electronics learning, science demonstrations and DIY experimentation. Basic soldering is required for assembly.
