  • Nothing like kiwi ingenuity bro...ur a legend PeterT

  • @nambassa2000 LOL thx - the serb is the legend! Im just copying his stuff! ....the kiwi ingenuity is to make it from junk I find in bins. I used to go to Nambassa (and Sweetwaters) with my parents when I was young,I did not really get it then...I get it now ;)

    Coromandel peninsula (where Im from) & Colville area were really a head of the times with the way the world is heading eg zeitgeist movment and occupy etc...anywho chur chur bro - hei kona ra ;)

  • frequency synchronization/ coordination you say...

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome, are you doing any continuing work on tesla's theories on ley lines?

  • @003hustler no

  • great video may the force be with you

  • are you the last Jedi?

  • @xxuncexx I used to sit next to the last Jedi's assistant and she gave me the sabre

  • The 15 dislikers are edison employees.

  • @PROMITHEASMUSIC I saw a video the other day that had no dislikes! it was a chick doing overhead squats with a bubble butt

  • @xmlisnotaprotocol Hahaha where are the philosophical arguments there? ;-)

  • Hey where can i get a big role of copper wire?

  • @SeanTuckerBrett

    frys, radiospares,ebay, army surplus or pull a transformer to bits

  • Tell me how that green light saber works.

  • @FalloutRadius is a S3 Spyder Arctic light saber. You can buy them on the net

  • ok....................... what does it do

  • @brybry1988 it makes big sparks and little lightning

  • One… Two… THREE “If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 & 9;

    then you would have a key to the universe.”

  • I loved you in law abiding citizen.

  • I was terrible in 'P.S. I Love You' in fact the whole movie was rubbish, I enjoyed 300 tho

  • can you power your home with one of these?

  • no but you can run up your electric bill

  • nice vid!!

  • I want to learn how Tesla Coils work and make one. Should I start by studying AC circuits?

  • get a flyback from old t.v, get a driver and start from there. i did! got one coil working. only at 20% maybe. i used .004 dia wire for my secondery! 1341 turns! primary has 51 .0159 dia

  • thats how I started too!! flybacks in a jar of cooking oil with a capacitor from and electric fence

  • so cool. so ghetto. I love it!

  • That looks like a Vandegraf generator

  • Yes/No: [Y]

  • Ok, I'm confused. So you can plug this into your wall and it generates 137 kHz of energy? I don't understand how it does that. And where does that energy go?

  • Kinda - it generates lots of big sparks and noise - seen the movie "The Prestige?"

    Sorta - like a plasma globe but into the air

    the kHz and volts etc are all ancillary to the SpARkS!

  • what do you do with these?

  • same as xbox/PS or PC - just play with it

  • hello, I am building a tesla coil and am planning on running it in my basement, (its not as large, but close to yours). I am wondering if a steel support beam is enough ground for it to arc to, and for me to attach the bottom of my secondary windings to, thanks

  • yes I should be OK - Ive run one with a bunch of steel plates sitting on the ground (concrete) as an earth, poured water all over the ground first - just be safe - even tho that was not

  • That's a fairly good explanation, however it is now well accepted that the 1/4 wavelength explanation is not correct for Tesla Coils. Bill Wysock from TTR (maker of the world's largest Tesla Coil) wrote a good explanation explaining why that theory doesn't hold water; a quick Google search should net you the paper...

  • Im honored u watched it! Im a fan of powerlabs/your&Slavas work.Ive read Bills findings & I could'nt explain all in a 10M vid.Most ppl who view know a bit about TCs but not the full pupman level stuff.I did not go into skinEffect,transmissionLine or resonant rise/charging. just to keep to a med level.I had a uniprofessor tell me a TC is n1v1=n2v2 ie turns ratio txfmr-so at least I've taken it a step beyond that;)

    Is Bills 13M or LODs Electrum the largest TC?

    Roger from Ohio has my fav TC vids!

  • Thanks :) Bill's 13M made the largest spark, at 55 feet, but Electrum is physically taller. I asked Bill this question (I consider him a friend and I worked with him for a year while I was working for kVA Effects) and appearently he's heard it one too many times, if you know what I mean ;)

  • Funny think was I lived in NZ for the first 27 years of my life and was into TCs/Oudil coils from about age 12 and never heard of the Electrum. There was a show called "thats fairly interesting" and they had a TC on there which was the only real NZ one I saw - Ive been to Griffith Observatory in 95 and 99 to see that coil Bill's worked on ;)

  • That is the best tutorial on the Tesla coil I've seen on video. You are the first one who has mentioned the metal top is really a capacitor in resonance with the secondary inductance. Why does the spark need to be quenched? Isn't the ionized arc like a switch in conduction that keeps the the primary LC resonance tank circuit oscillating?

  • yes but you want the spark to fire just on the peak of the AC cycle and not stay on (sustained by the supply) when the cap is charged to the peak ( sqrt(2)*Vrms) its got the most energy in it E=1/2cV^2 (double voltage 4x energy!) anywho you want it to fire at the max voltage and stop after the rf cycles ready for the next AC charge cycle

  • i gave you a five star because you're talking so far over my head i don't understand a thing you're talking about AND you're very good looking. Now what does this thing do? I know it gets electricity out of the earth or something, but can you use it? Is it practical for anything?

  • in a smaller form the principles are used in TVs and what not. In this form its just a hobby/side show attraction for big sparks - watch 'singing tesla coil' for a kind of practical application (public address)

  • LOL LIGHT SABER FTW

  • cool! - this I did not know.

  • your one smart dude...

  • WTF are u holding a lightsaber?!?!

  • Can't tesla coils kill people with enough voltage?

  • guess so, primary cct can (hi Voltage and current(Amps) and low freq) Some tazer/stunguns have a TC of sorts in them - the secondary coil output spark of a TC is low current and high freq (look up skin effect) which both help negate its killing effects but still dangerous I expect

  • in spite of being british, you get an f

  • Is that an ASDfukin F?

  • what is the applications of tesla coil ... ?

  • just to make big sparks - the EHT in a CRT (not LCD) TV is a Tesla coil of sorts I guess

  • TO KILL!

  • Russians wanted to use them during one of the WW as border control. For both incoming and outgoing border crossers sadly enough:(

  • i cant see any useful application for tesla coil , and if it used as a weapon .. u cant control the big sparks coming out of it .. its randomly ... but it might works for border control.. but hey who wanna visit Russia .. still would it be possible if the crosser insulated his feet .. i mean make an open circuit with the ground .. will the crosser spend his life in Russia or will he be fried ... ??????

  • I think it would not matter if you insulated your feet. insulating your feet basically makes a capacitor between you and the ground. the load from a tesla shock would be so great that any small capacitance created on your feet would be insignificant. The towers to be used were said to be 300 ft tall! dont quote me though. That sounds ridiculous to me aswell :)

  • Large scale wireless power transmission is a good use. Teslas are not used for any purpose outside of the lab, but they've proven effective for transmitting power. I also believe that tesla used one to resonate the earth's magnetic field, which could potentially use the earth as a giant transmitter for global power.

    Shame on nations like Russia and the US for using it as a weapon and for suppressing Tesla's work and research.

  • How much mF output does a cap like that generate, and is that mineral oil or motor oil. I'm working on building my first TC for a college project. Seen lots of good info but not sure what to follow

  • mine are 27nF (0.027mF) with mineral oil. Shell DIALA AX are the best oils but very hard to get. I use "baby oil", its just fragranced mineral oil. If you want detailed info about how to tune a TC Msg me with your email addrr and I can send you a great article. - be careful with HV and have fun

  • I am learning about tesla coils and picking up the higher level EE knowledge as I go. So far this page seems to be pretty helpful:

    frontiernet ! net ) ~tesla ) html ) tuneacoil ! htm

    What challenges would I face if I were to aim for the high MHz - low GHz range?

    Much thanks.

  • I would certainly pickup a good scope. I'd rather not have to get the signal generator though. Tesla managed to tune these without either of these. I'm sure it makes the process harder.

  • sorry ,did not mean to offend

  • yes, spot on!

    but the classical Ns/Np=Vs/Vp does not hold due to the Q factor etc

  • Okay.. that math you just did will have me confused for the rest of the year.

  • you and me both!- I was thinking about a backpack version powered by a motorbike battery and earthed via metal soled shoes, then carry a water pistol that's got the HV potential so you can shoot an electrified water droplet stream (arcs between drips)....just for crowd control of course. watch "ZVC flyback" for the power supply - if the insulation broke down you would be shocked to shit tho :/

  • dude, i wanna lern how to shoot this lightning out of my fuckin hands.

  • and i want to see you try, but i don't want to smell youre fried corpse when your done.

  • so i dont get it, you somehow put your Xc and Xl together to find a frequency, but the frequency for what?

  • frequency it runs at - which is related to how much wire is in it. It happens when Xl=Xc

    The when you have the freq of secondary or pri you can use that to tune the other

  • and what is an average frequency found in a tesla coil like yours?

  • 100 to 200 Khz, lower than most AM radio!

  • nice lol, but what i dont get is the idea of capacitance. like i know the top bulby part acts a capacitor right? but i dont get why, and i dont get why you need capacitors in your circuitry before your primary.

  • Be careful with that Lightsaber...you might hurt yourself!

  • Great job! five stars!!

  • Thats otta keep the squirrels off the lawn

  • wow!!! i need to go and study!! your ENGLISH is terrible "ask money to other country" this makes no sense what so ever. i think that you need to go and study and learn how to talk real english

  • paki's smell like shit!!

  • if you assign the wrong frequency, lets say the energy frequency of the ground, or your lightsaber it might get meshed in with you when you activate multiple or stronger tesla coils, and if you are near the field, other than that its a good source of potential useable energy

  • yeah I'll keep that in mind - thanks for the tip(s)

  • Hey - great post, very well presented. Nice work in keeping Tesla's work alive in this time of energy depletion.

  • Seriously, that tesla coil is ingenious! Never thought of it as a homemade device and make it a hobby... ☺☺☺☺☺

  • "this is a video explaining how my 'testicle' works" nice funny first line. haha

  • LOLZ yes!! and I have two, both work the almost same way, except for the left one.

  • Whats the point?. is it just for fun or something?

  • yeah just for fun like xbox or wanking

  • Lol, yea... especially wanking

  • i'm very impressed of your knowledge on this topic, maby i'll start building one of these on my own, but still i have t finish mmy marx generator :P

  • thanks :) 5points.

  • nice design!

  • I cant take credit for the design ;( TESLA CAN ;)

  • Tesla is SERB!!!!

  • Yes - Nikola Tesla (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Тесла) (10 July 1856 -- 7 January 1943)

    Born in Smiljan, Croatian Krajina.

    He invented so much!

  • only stupid can leave comments like that...No wonder that man like you in this world keep in one hand a cellular phone and knife in another to butcher another human......More and more idiots...that's our destination.That's why we will pay for even free energy.Idiots can not understand it because of lack of education then will kill anythink which they do not understand

  • im winding him up........ if look carefully you can see that a couple of comments of mine clearly states that i was joking..... you may call me an idiot, but i sense you havent a sense of humour. AM I RIGHT EVERYONE? "xmlisnotaprotocolseen" seen the funny side of it, why can't you

  • spot on guy its a jungles out there in them rats races! We need to love,share,trust and embrace - to often we murder, fights, rape (not in that order tho)

    ...fade away to sad unicorn standing at dusk on polluted beach

  • what does this have to do with pies?

  • ....it cooks them, and can predict the price of fish

  • thats revolutionary! because of the way the markets are going its always good to have a machine that can sumise the best prices on the market thats cool, its just a shame it isn't compact. and with the edition of being a cooker makes it very handy. well done on this invention its no wonder you have nice house, keep up the good work. ps..... it seems to emit a lot of sparks, does that need to happen for it to predict? i didn't notice a readout (printer) on the machine, is there a technique?

  • lolz!!... the 'compact model' for stock/fish predictions is a coin - heads=buy tales=sell (or hold - depending on fish of the day and temperature - fish is a FMCG after all!)

    for pies its heads=beef tales=chicken

  • i don't understand algerbra, so these important values won't make any sense to me. but thanks for instructions. you should get a patent but there seems to be a lot of these on ebay and youtube. it seems to be making a big influence on people as i told my brother i know a chap on youtube who has a predicting machine that tells you the value of fish and many other things and he won't stop laghing? i think he does'nt believe me. never mind though, i always did know better than everyone else.

  • you're an idiot

  • come on mate, i was being sarcastic (long term) you don't think i would be that daft would you. you have got to admit though, it is funny. lol

  • yeah I got it! I thought it was funny too. Just chalk it up to UtUbE mate

  • good man, sorry about that. the pie bit started it off. funny though love the machine bro

  • god dam just touch it and use it and stfu

  • thats what ya mama said to ya daddy 9 months before you popped out!

  • touché :D

    nice vid!!

  • wht tht doesnt make sens and u are an ass hole

  • .....hmmm and that wht tht BS makes sense?

    Keep up the good work babe, youtube hate'n and fighting dragons with a mouse on ya PC!

  • Oww, you are making my brain hurt, so you were doing what exactly?

  • making a porno robot Abby Winters stylz

  • a what and a what?

    :?

  • how do you take somsone serious when they are talking about sometihng while holding a lightsaber????

  • A: You don't!

  • sounds like he said testicle

  • I did! I did!

  • is that Lightsaber real?

  • Yes it is! he got it from luke sky walker for his birthday...

  • Yeah I got the $1M house in the background from him too - both of which I own

  • I understand none of this...... whats a tesla coil?

  • just an electric spark machine

  • you r so smart

  • Thanks for help. I like Tesla coils.

  • dude you got this shit off Myth Busters

  • I got it from Abby winters

  • kl video jus wanted 2 ask u if u get struck by that machine will it kill you :0

  • no to high frequenty..its safe

  • man this is awesome :D

  • Hey! well I finaly unpotted my transformer with success! thanks for all your help. Now im gunna build an 8 in diameter coil, with 4 mots.

    I just had a quick question. what kind of spark gap do you use?

    thanks!

  • Ive got a 2 electrode gap on a vacuum cleaner motor.B'cuz its about a 1" gap It must be the biggest loss of Q in my primary cct.I should make/buy a salient-pole synchronous rotary spark gap as its about the best/most efficient for ac input IMO.I did use 6 electrode quenched gaps but they caught fire and got too hot at 2.5-3KVA input power.Check out pupman - there is probably some way to cool them with fans etc but I'm impatient & just like to fire it up ASAP w/out filters or good gaps

  • awesome. I wouldn't have ever noticed had you denied it to the end.

  • lol at 12 seconds u farted

  • Its actually the sound of the saber on the coil but yeah,ok, I farted its imperatively mandated !!

    This is explained fully in any bible eg king james, VIZ or OK magazine

    ...and I want to marry a carrot!

  • yeah was just after he struck the saber hahaha.

  • ok Luke SkyWalker!

    May the force be with you!!!

  • LOL! i understood nearly all of that. go me!

  • I'll send it to you now direct

  • hahaha you farted at 12 seconds XD

  • yes, we _have_ too, its imperatively mandated !!

    This is explained fully in any bible eg king james, VIZ or OK magazine

  • tehehhe

  • from wikipedia

    Nikola Tesla (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Тесла) (10 July 1856 -- 7 January 1943) was an inventor, a mechanical and an electrical engineer. Born in Smiljan, Croatian Krajina, Austrian Empire, he was an ethnic Serb subject of the Austrian

  • do you know where is Tesla actualy from?

  • Did you fart in this video at 0.12 seconds?

  • yes, in my experience the only gas that effectively combats the ozone is methane (Also gaseous shit molecules bind covalently to ions)

    This is explained fully in any bible eg king james, VIZ or OK magazine

  • Hm. You seem to be incredibly smart. Neat.

  • nah - just been doing it a long time ;)

  • you Brits....its pronounced the way it's spelled... a lu min um! four syllables NOT a lu min E um five syllables. you're as bad as our moronic President. He can't pronounce the word nuclear to save his life. Cool video though!

  • I think you'll find he's Aussie.

    And btw here it's spelled Aluminium.

  • Yeah, America doesn't decide how everything in the god damn world is done.

    Who invented English? Oh, right, the English.

    (I know, the video guy is Australian.)

    Stop making a fool of yourself.

  • You say either and I say either, You say neither and I say neither

    Either, either Neither, neither, Let's call the whole thing off.

    You like potato and I like potahto, You like tomato and I like tomahto

    Potato, potahto, Tomato, tomahto, Let's call the whole thing off

  • haha i was thinking that as i read their little argument :)

  • wait, does this have anything to do with the tesla roadster?

  • You Bet!! they are both machines, they both have wire and capacitors in various forms and they both have Tesla in the name!!

  • no, i meant is this something that helps charge the car or something? what exactly is this thing?

  • does it do anything useful?

  • No, it makes no money, if thats what you mean

  • i think he means sumthin like...unwanted personel deterant

  • lol.. lightsaber

  • yeah its my little boys toy lightsabre, he calls it his "YOGO(yoda) sword"

  • but amps

  • To deal with people asking to see it run, try placing a link to the video where you show it running, at the top of your description.

    How does Tesla's coil relate to his work on free, or, radiant energy?

    Is the inductor at the bottom a self-inducting bifilar coil?

  • To me a TC is just a RF resonant transformer, I personally don't buy into any of Tesla crazy free energy magic etc. Not to detract from Tesla as a great inventor though - Newton had crazy theory's too about little men (himolecules or something)

    My primary is not bifilar (its aflat/pancake that looks the same)

    I think Tesla made bifilar secondaries to increase self-capacitance. Counter/anti-series bifilar used in wirewounds almost remove self-inductance.

    I'll take your advise on the links-cheers

  • "I personally don't buy into any of Tesla crazy free energy magic etc. Not to detract from Tesla as a great inventor though - "

    But of course YOUR idea is better :P

  • just because I don't personally believe in something that does not mean I begrudge people or aliens,spooks, wizards,goblins,dragons, fairies,gods,ewoks, goddesses, deities,monsters,cylons,elves, gollums, pugnogs, nebapers, scabores that do.

  • turn the fucking thing on! LOL

  • See the other vids to see it going, eg tesla coil running - this is how it works

    do i need a faq?

    did you see BigK magazine in the 80's?

  • Sorry dude, that was very rude of me, I apologise! good for you! I'll watch your other vids! Thanks again for posting interesting stuff!
