Abstract

A wearable suit apparatus incorporating one or more user-operated solid state tesla coils includes a full body clothing article constructed of integrated, conductive shielding material. An on board power supply such as a battery pack powers the one or more solid state tesla coils, which are connected to the suit such that the entire suit is held at or near the same potential as the base of the secondary coil(s) of the SSTC(s), thereby protecting the wearer from injury from the high voltage.

Claims

1. A solid state tesla coil suit apparatus comprising:

a full body clothing article constructed of conductive shielding material;

a power supply carried on said clothing article; and

at least one solid state tesla coil carried on said clothing article and connected to said power supply, said clothing article connected to the base or ground of said solid state tesla coil secondary coil so that said clothing article is held at or near the same potential as the grounded base of the secondary coil.

2. The solid state tesla coil suit apparatus of claim 1 wherein said full body clothing article includes an arm portion, and said at least one solid state tesla coil is carried on said arm portion.
