dc to ac or pulsed dc

lightning r fun · Oct 26, 2010

I need a circuit or some kind of mechanical means of taking an 18v 1.5A drill battery(dc), and inverting it to either ac or pulsed dc, so that i can run it through a transformer without killing it.
I will be using this power to run a tesla coil.
So any help would be appreciated.

A battery across a cap parrallel to an inductor will produce a sine wave while observing polarity. You need to experiment and use formulae to figure your size equivalents, Maybe soneone else can help with that.

does that mean ac or pulsed dc out?
