My favorite method to design a Tesla coil is by means of an Excel-spreadsheet. It allows the quick and
easy change of the design parameters, and the view of their influence on design. By means of  "solver" or
"goalseek" methods the inverse or implicit solution of the design equations becomes feasible, opening the
possibility to fit your design to available components . Another attractive application of spreadsheets
 in coiling is the documentation and interpretation of measurement results. And a third kind is the useful
  presentation of table data, because by this way they're easily integrated in any kind of calculation.
