Prototype of single wire electrical power transmission using Tesla coil.
Conventional electrical power transmission systems need at least two wires for transmitting electrical energy from one place to another. Here we are replicating the single wire transmission of energy or one wire power transmission originally developed by the great genius Nikola Tesla.
In this two Tesla coils are used in which one acts as transmitter and the other acts as receiver. In the transmitter side, a Slayer exciter circuit is used to excite the primary coil. When powered on the Tesla coil on transmitter side resonates to its natural frequency. Here Tesla coil resonant frequency is around 900kHz. The one end of secondary is connected to top load and other end to secondary of the receiver's secondary. The receiver is tuned to the same frequency of transmitter. So the power is received at the Tesla coil at receiver side which is taken out from the primary coil and then given to a high frequency rectifier. The high frequency AC output is converted into DC and finally connected to the DC loads. Here i have used a 10W white LED and a 6v DC motor.
