Tesla coils are one of those builds that capture ... of this build style is the shift from the originally used spark gap commutator to that of a direct AC drive via a MOSFET oscillator.

the coil (transformer) itself, and adjustable spark-gap electrodes. Why these components, and what do they accomplish? To set his oscillator "ringing," Tesla employed sudden discharges ...

(Photo: Wikimedia) The Tesla coil requires one more thing: a capacitor to store charge and fire it all in one huge spark. The circuit of the coil contains a capacitor and a small hole called a spark ...

The first kinds of radio transmitters had some form of Tesla-type coils. The modulation to the antenna, creating radio signals, came from a spark gap that created a huge amount of RF noise (EMI).
