The Nature of Resonance and High Voltage LC Circuit (Mini Tesla Coil)

Contrary to common knowledge, oscillations does not occur in nature in the way that it is thought. LC circuits can oscillate provided that the required energy and switching available.

An excellent presentation. Unfortunately, I am a hobbyist, and this content is over my head. Good luck.

What a great time to be an electromechanics student, I get to complement my studies with great videos as such. Plus your videos are actually well produced. You definitely have a new subscriber over here. Looking forward for next vids.

Nice video but you’re trying to create a tank circuit with a polarized electrolytic capacitor? That’s not going to work my friend. You need a non polarized cap.

[@electrotg]

Thank you for your kind comment and appreciation! 😊 Yes, that is true. Electrolytic capacitors have an oxide layer acting as a dielectric to insulate properly in a unidirectional fashion. However, up to certain voltage levels (typically up to 1.5 volts), the reverse voltage does no harm to oxide layer and it can still act as a bidirectional capacitor with a different capacitance value (In our case reverse voltage would die out immediately to these levels). Also, as you know, it is rather simple to demonstrate by using what you have in your hand especially when you need a large capacitance for observable oscillations with a low frequency. But this must also explain the anisotropic waveform on the oscilloscope, very good point to mention thank you!
