tesla-coil-simulator 0.1.0

Physics simulator for DRSSTC (Dual Resonant Solid State Tesla Coils) with coupled RLC circuit analysis

Intro

• Simulates the physics of DRSSTC (Dual Resonant Solid State Tesla Coil), a coupled series RLC resonator system

Showcase (code below)

primary: R: 100 mΩ, L: 6 uH, C: 50 nF, f0: 291 kHz, Q: 110 
secondary: R: 500 Ω, L: 50 mH, C: 6 pF, f0: 291 kHz, Q: 183 
coupling (k): 0.1
resonant poles: ['277 kHz', '306 kHz']

• Note: the simulation below doesn't consider over current protection, but it can be easily added by modifying the code blow.
