Inventor Profiles: William Wysock - Master Tesla Coil Builder

William Wysock is the top Tesla Coil designer and builder in the United States - perhaps the world.

Bill received his AA degree on Telecommunications in 1969. After many years in the communications field, he joined Aerospace Corporation in 1978 and is presently working in antenna development and RF systems research.

Concurrently, he is the sole proprietor of Tesla Technology Research, established in 1975. Since that time, his company has established a broad customer base, including MCA/Universal Studios, Walt Disney Imagineering, Dave Archer Studios, Battelle Memorial Research Institute, University of West Virginia, University of New Mexico, University of California-Berkeley, Lawrence-Livermore and more than sixty museums of science and industry, worldwide.

Participation in International Tesla Society symposia began with a technical paper presented in 1986 on safety and health considerations for the installation of Tesla Coils for public viewing. In 1988 and 1990, Bill Wysock produced large Tesla Coil demonstrations. His technical paper entitled, “Modern Spark Gap Technology” was presented in 1991 at the First Extraordinary Science Symposium and later published in Extraordinary Science.

The 1992 International Tesla Symposium was highlighted by the debut of a first-of-a-kind double Tesla Coil System and the addition of a three hour long Tesla Coil workshop by Bill Wysock.
