Tesla Coil - Initial Testing
Ғылым және технология
These are my first few tests with my Spark Gap Tesla Coil (unmodified NST). It runs off of a 12kV 60mA neon sign transformer, and has only reached a measly 18" max arc length.
This video is late due to being banned from turning it on by my parents until I got a line filter. I managed to destroy a very expensive internet modem.
Improvements are planned for the future. I hope to get some commercially produced capacitors, and maybe make an asynchronous rotary spark gap. I'm nearly finished with modifying the neon sign transformer; I hope to double the amount of current, and then submerge it in oil to protect it.

Wow does this bring back memories. When my son was about your age, we built a coil _very_ similar to this. But we used a 6-bottles-of- beer capacitor and a double spark gap. We did get 22 inch sparks. And we got a glow from a florescent tube all around the back yard. But boy was it scary. The gap was _really_ loud. When beer bottles started breaking, we quit. This was for a high school science fair project that was also a physics course grade. The teacher offered my son an A+ if he would agree _not_ to try running the coil at school. :-)

Hilarious 😄😄😄😄😄
Should reduce your background music. Very difficult to hear what you're saying.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm still new to video editing, so sorry about that.

that's awesome!
Nice
Nice start on the coil. I've made a few coils myself and posted some video of them. You can try adjusting the tap on your primary flat spiral coil (when there is no power and the coil is completely unplugged from the wall for safety) to try and fine tune the resonance between the primary LC and secondary LC. Did you calculate the resonant frequencies for each?

TechnoWizard I have. I've actually improved this coil drastically, it's now producing 31" arcs. I'll post a vid as soon as I have time to get more footage.

Basement Engineer also to tune it you can use a induction motor powered rotary spark gap and use a scariac/variac to adjust the speed, I personally would use a scariac because it's very cheap to make, just saltwater and electrodes
I have bought 3 nst. all 3 are 9kv at 30ma I know how and will phase them together well atleast 2 at first...but this will only increase the ma to 90 ( 60ma with 2 ) and it will not increase the volts overall or therefore the arc length....just the power and heat or thickness of the arc? or does phasing them in parallel increases the volts and ma???

Only amperage! Voltage same. Can't wire nst. s in series for obvious reasons, but if you could, it would increase the voltage.
you should look into making tesla energy lights they are about $5000 new but im sure you could make them for a lot cheaper
How to make it send me link
Can't hardly hear what your saying with the music unfortunate !!
Hey man, are you still active on this channel?

@Jacob Clair Wilson Tbh I don't even remember posting this lmao
turn off the background noise or at least turn down the volume thanks
I have almost fried my internet router too once alongside two tv's and my computer. Luckyly I didn't break anything

With the tesla coil ?
Step 3 drain the power from your grid
😭
Sounds like he grounded his secondary to the outlet ground the first time . That's what would do that!
You need to lusten to ur own video before posting it. The audio is horrible. Cant hear what ur saying due to fruity backround music. Just saying , constructive criticism . Ur a great scientist , not a great video editor. Lo Peace dude!!!
Kids shouldn't play with electricity
