Apparatus Type: Non-resonant pulse step up transformer (Ruhmkorff coil).
Spark Length: Available in models producing maximum spark lengths of 25 mm, 50 mm, or greater, indicating peak output voltage.
Input Voltage: Requires a low voltage DC input, typically 6 V or 12 V DC (e.g., from a battery or low voltage power supply).
Output Voltage: Produces highly intermittent high voltage spikes, typically ranging from 20kV to 100kV depending on spark length.
Accessories: Often requires a separate low voltage DC power source and sometimes an external condenser for optimal performance.
High Voltage Generation: The primary purpose is to transform a low voltage DC input into extremely high voltage pulses suitable for numerous physics demonstrations.
Versatile Use: Essential for operating low pressure gas tubes like Spectrum Discharge Tubes, Cathode Ray Tubes, and conducting experiments in wireless transmission and discharge physics.
Visible Discharge: Provides an impressive visual demonstration of electromagnetic induction and high voltage discharge through the measurable spark length.
Mechanical Interrupter: Features a reliable contact breaker mechanism or an electronic interrupter to rapidly interrupt the primary current, ensuring a sharp voltage increase in the secondary.
Robust Construction: Built with heavy gauge copper wire, thick insulation, and a solid base for durability and safety during high voltage operation.
