Optimum transfer characteristics of the Tesla transformer on the first and second half-waves of output voltage

Abstract

Abstract The elements of the theory of the Tesla transformer are stated, the exact solution of the equations of the dynamics of currents and voltages in the transformer circuits through the generalized parameters of the circuits (Q-factors of the primary and secondary circuits, the coupling coefficient of the circuits and mismatching factor of the natural resonance frequencies of the circuits) is given, under the assumption of their constancy. The optimal transfer characteristics of the processes of charging the capacitive storage of the secondary circuit of the transformer on the first and second half-waves are given, demonstrating the capabilities of the Tesla transformer.
