At work the other day, I got the opportunity to teach a class on inductance and resonance in relation to electronic circuits. So of course, I thought a tesla coil would be the most fun visual instrument to instruct with.
Of course, the inexpensive kit I bought off of Amazon …
Really just a technical note for myself. I thought I had written this down somewhere here, but I couldn't find it, so, here it is.
Converting png to a video in Linux:
