In response to the subsequent interest of both practicing engineersand college engineering students in the SSTC, this paper proposes its use as a sample applicationin a power conversion course.Tesla coils have long been used in physics demonstrations to engage audiences and rouse interestin the sciences and engineering. More recently, solid state power electronics have been used todrive Tesla coils, allowing much greater control over the arcs and permitting the production ofmusic with their plasmas.
