  • Very nice! Very healthy streamers. What RF frequency are you using?

  • @HomemadeBanjo I think it was about 100kHz. this coil is long since gone.

  • "my hv caps always blow" -- ha ha -- hilaroius! I made a big ham radio class-c amp (for CW/Teletype) and my "hv caps blew" ... big time!!! I used a pole-pig xfmr backwards (220->4400) and I failed account for 1.414x peak voltage. Oops!

  • I think the spark gap is too far apart. Try to move it closer to get a steady noise. (Don't move it too close though)

  • It doesn't use a spark gap. This coils uses mosfets.

  • would a sstc run on just 12v in the primary on a resonant square wave? im talking about a tesla coil not a fly back or ignition commonly associated with the tc . thanks for any reply.

  • It would run but depending on the circuit I wouldnt expect much spark output.

  • i might be better off with the old sparkgap high voltage type lol thanks

  • i have ran teslacoils on a simple 555 flyback driver with a 102 cap and 2 10k pots on the 555 and that connected to a 200v fet running on 50v at 1A and got 1" streamers from a 9" coil

  • would a square wave generator drive a tesla coil if ste to resonance?

  • Yes but you need a power stage to beef up the current.

  • what about a high voltage flyback that runs through a rectifiyer? how would you switch current that high without screwing the transistor or 555?

  • It doesnt need to be that high voltage. Mine uses 160 volts.

  • yer lol i know im just saying wouldnt that be a good way to get a higher dc? i only want to make this design because my hv caps always blow.

  • nice coil ,, please subscribe to my channel ..i promise i will not dissapoint .. see you there

  • The old Edison had a good groundwork finished via Tesla. Cheeter

  • Just the output makes that sound. I had it set to a slow burst rate.

  • it sounds like one of those vacuum tube coils I saw in another vid, what is making that loud popping sound?

  • Great little coil that you have made. thanks for sharing!
