Good video. You explained all the principles very well.

Good job

Ik ben zelf ook al een aantal jaar bezig met het hele tesla gebeuren. Mega interssant en een hele uitdaging als je eigenlijk niet het geld hebt voor de “juiste” onderdelen en het meeste uit gebruikte apparatuur haalt. Heb het meeste van KZread geleerd, en kwam er gelijk achter dat er veel heel cool waren, maar vele een eigen theorie hebben die voor hun goed werkt. Jouw video is precies in mijn straatje, en heb net je kanaal even vlug bekeken. Zo leerzaam, top!

Erg bedankt voor je reactie

Very nice video dude. Highly appreciate your way of explaining things. You took the required time needed to explain everything well. Even though you tested it with a very high voltage switching power supply for a short moment, the sparks were amazing. I really enjoyed your video. It was a great pleasure for me & motivated me to try build one myself. Keep it up dear.

good video it made me wanna make one i made one its pretty powerfull it makes about 5-8 cm sparks i used a flyback transforemer with homemade capacitor its really good

Hi. Fantastic video! I Really enjoyed it and learned a lot. What voltage input was the weak and strong power supply? Id Love to know.

Very, very good video. Tbank you so much.

Hey, you in Holland? I was wondering, could I use a music amplifier to make the pulses? Just feed different sounds and see what is does

Friends, see how the original spark gap Tesla coil is running on my channel

IMHO these red capacitors are rated for 2000 V but DC. You have to check the datasheet to find out how the allowable voltage change in function of frequency. I saw such characteristics in WIMA capacitors datasheets so maybe there is any for yours.

Thanks for the good comment. Indeed these general purpose caps are mainly used in DC applications. But they are rather cheap and can be used for AC in some cases. Polypropylene has much lower dielectric loss so Polypropylene film capacitors are the best choice, but they are more expensive. Polyester has in comparison higher dielectric loss but even at 100 kHz the tan_delta is still low (

Please, sir. What type of capacitor for 500 volts 3 mhz. And 1000 volts, 3 megahertz. Still polypropylene film caps? I like mica for its high frequency properties. Can I use mica above 800 volts or so?

Does the power of the coil increase if I put more turns in the primary I only have 4 and a half would it be better if I used 6 or more? And should I increase the capacity of my capacitors?

thanks 😃

Nice

Please provide link to the red capacitors. Thank you.

Is your local fire department on speed dial! All jokes aside thanks for the video, I appreciate how simple this coil was. It makes me feel its not such a big task to build one.

😂 the sparks do not have much energy, they normally can not start a fire, unless if they strike inside a flammable gas, so actually little risk of fire there. Indeed making a simple Tesla coil is a rather simple task to do.

Hello, how do I calculate the capacitor capacity that will be needed?

The outer bulb of sodium lamps is evacuated and will produce X-rays when exposed to high voltage.

Ik beun altijd een aansluiting voor de boormachine gaat mucho fastah

I just created a 'water cooled spark gap' you might want to check out, you can lower your capacitance with it and really get that coil blazing! I'd like to see you make a coil using it =)

Sorry for my ignorance, but how does the wcsg affect the capacitance?

Could you change the capacitor for a 220nf one and instead of a falyback use a microwave transformer?

@HVE

5 ай бұрын

The capacitance must match with the inductance of the coil. Microwave transformer does not have very high isolation level, so most likely the secondary will burn even if you manage to make it work. with the oscillatory circuit shown, probably it does not work, since that operate at high frequency which is not suitable for microwave transformer. but anyway give it a try and you will learn something new. Put a few turns as the primary, or use the excising filament wire on the MT, ans use the high voltage winding as the output and see if the oscillatory circuit works or not.

Where did you connect the power supply can we connect it to a usb charger actually I am doing a science project of Tesla coil of yours can give me some advice please.

I used those batteries which i showed in the video, also the name of them is given in the schematics. USB charger probably will not work. You need a source that can deliver many amps. Those green batteries are a good choice.

Yes use a regular spark gap, you can use really anything as the spark gap. Try adjusting the power supply or increasing capacitor voltage rating or capacitor charge rating, It may affect the output.

i got max 400v cpacitors can i use them

No, they will burn, unless you have many of them and they have large capacitance, in that case you can make them in series. Also watch out, if you have electrolytic capacitor, do not use them at all.

Can i use a 220v transformer thats is the range of my budget money i cant buy a flyback transformer because its to expensive but i want to know if i can use a 220v transformer?

@HVE

Hi, you need a high voltage transformer. A 220 volt transformer is not sufficient to create discharge in the spark gap. If you can find an old TV (those big TVs), inside there is a flyback transformer which you can extract.

You can use 24v but keep the current near to about 2 or 3 ampere or the sparks wouldn't look beautiful
