Tesla Coil Based Security System
Tesla Coil Based Security System
Our project is to utilize a prebuilt Tesla Coil to redirect the current from the main coil to the frame of a doorway. The intent is to generate horizontal arcs across the doorway to deter possible intruders. This project is beneficial, as most modern day security systems are strictly passive, while this method of security would provide an offensive way to combat unwanted intrusions before the undesirable individual even approaches the door through the use of visual and auditory deterrence.
