Hi Matthew. If you have a more specific question we would be glad to help, but there are literally hundreds of webpages that can explain the basics WAY better than a single e-mail, not to mention the vast pupman archives. If you want university level understanding you really need to do a lot of research, and ideally do some building (get your hands dirty). I would start with Google, search for "Tesla coil construction", and read a dozen or so pages on conventional spark gap Tesla coils; once you get a grasp of what parts are needed and how they connect, delve into the theory side of it, and then if you still hunger for more information Google solid state Tesla coils. Then things should make sense, but if they do not, your understanding should be great enough and you should know enough of our jargon that we can actually answer your remaining questions in terms you will understand. I hope you don't think I am trying to discourage you or anything, we just want you to succeed, and this is the best way for that to happen. If you are interested I had an old website that had decent, if a bit basic info on it. The server shut down a few years ago, but I still have the files some place, I could send them to you off list and that would at least get you started (not enough to go off of alone, but it is a start.)
