Tesla coil & plasma globe · 3D
Switch between a resonant Tesla coil and a plasma globe. Hold and drag on the glass to concentrate the streamers.
Try this
In globe mode, hold the left mouse button on the glass and drag: streamers follow the contact. Right-drag orbits the camera.
Equations used in the module
Equations f0 = 1/(2π√(LC)); M = k√(L1 L2) Z1 = R1 + j(ωL1 − 1/ωC1); Z2 = R2 + j(ωL2 − 1/ωC2) I1 = Vdrive / (Z1 + ω²M²/Z2); I2 = −jωM I1/Z2 Vtop = |I2|/(ωC2); Pin = Re(Vdrive I1*)/2 Globe touch: capacitive coupling, illustrative filament concentration
