F A N T C is a JavaScript interface pulling in the power and versatility of G E O T C, a library of functions for computing reactances formulated and coded in JavaScript by Paul Nicholson. Although G E O T C applies some techniques used by T S S P software, it should not be confused with T S S P software.

I would like to say thanks to the team of coilers who have provided invaluable and sometimes difficult measurements for the TSSP, whereby, the evaluated data produces a better understanding of Tesla Coil physics. I would also like to say a special thanks to Paul Nicholson and Terry Fritz for their dedication and invaluable research on the physics of Tesla Coils.

F A N T C is capable of:

Solving for the capacitance of coils and/or topload obects (toroids, spheres, discs, and cylinders), in free space or when situated with other components.
Solving for the self and mutual inductances between coils.
Solving for the distributed reactances, effective lumped reactances, and resonant frequencies.
Solving for the voltage and current distribution profiles along length of secondary coil.
