hydro4f3a 012 - pancake coil with speaker wire

[zcxvasdfqwer1234]

thanks! making my first tesla coil and this will work great since copper tubing and wire in general is damn expensive where I am at right now.

At one point i studdied some the supressed Stubblefield methods (earth batteries) and all of the coils that capture the Earth resonant 'telluric' field were "pancake" style!

thanks for vid!

Very helpful video for a project I'm working on - 4x the normal output of a regular pancake coil! Is the speaker wire you're using solid or stranded?

[hydro4f3a]

Thanks. The speaker wire is single strand. The insulation is pretty thick so take that into consideration. Let me know how your coils turn out !

very cool ! Thanks for sharing.

Creative!!

Wow man. Who the in the word could come up with an idea to use speaker wire for bifilar tesla coil construction???

It is a joke right?

[hydro4f3a]

Hi. No Joke. Just making coils with what I have. In this case, the speaker wire makes (2) bifilar wound coils with exactly the same number of turns. The coils are 60uH inductance each, very well matched. They seem to have a lot of capacitance because of the insulation. May be good for something....

Interesting , I was naked such coils too in the past , good work:)

Double sided tape...Brilliant. Why didn't I think of it? Now on my list when I go to the hardward store. Thanks for posting your pancake coil vid's, spawned lots of ideas.

thats pretty much how i make spiral coils but lately i use another cd-r on top with something heavy on it

[hydro4f3a]

Thanks Luc, resonance may have to wait until I can repair the broken signal gen that I bought.

Great job hydro4f3a,

let us know how your Resonance tests perform.

Thanks for sharing
