I have a SGTC, the secondary size is 32inch X 6inch, the power supply is a dual-mot, 2.5KVA 5000V 500mA, but I don't have the capacitor... (50 - 60nF) do you know where can I find it? ... AWESOME!!
@triggerhappy77707 thanks, In the vid I put it was 26awg but I was thinking about it today and I think its actually 29 AWG. I don't think 34 would even have worked. I had a secondary on another coil that was 4.5 x 20 inches 32 awg and it seemed to be too thin wire to work right for even that size, it fried.
@Slu1982 That depends actually. What my pulse widths are, pulse frequency and tank impedance. In this case you're right, especially considering my tank cap value and of course I wanted to use more but I didn't want to pull the caps of my cm600 bridge. It has two 14,000uF caps on it. I dont think I can get them to fit on the bridge the way its set up.
@Slu1982 That might also explain why my rectifier blew. They might not have had a chance to fully charge and stay charged. I was drawing a ton of current.
Hi. That is obvious, you can check VDC bridge with oscilloscope. 0.833 uF is very big, each cycle of the capacitor is discharged and charged with the voltage if it is unloaded to a too high value of current flowing from the network grows adequately. I assume that in your primary coil runs over 1.2KA :)
@Slu1982 Probably ill have to measure it next time. i thought I had the OCD set to 1000A and it never triggered. IN the first part of the video i was turning up the voltage super slowly but in the second part I did it much faster. I built this coil up to a point and then told myself Im not spending anymore money on it and had to use what I had. I wanted another 1 or two of those caps in my tank circuit in series but that is all I had.
That's amazing! Great job! Did you design the electronics yourself, or did you follow plans?

@teddybear114 Yes the whole thing is my design. I don't like copying other peoples stuff.

@08Kutt Try Ebay, or an electronic surplus store around where you live.

Nice :-)
I love that primary and shielding :-P But, what gauge wire did you wind with, to get such low frequency? 34?

2250uF is too little...
