Here it's not true - salt was disorganized into tiny crystals on the breakout rod, however I feel like getting your idea - you are thinking of a piesoelectric resonator pulled by an electromagnetic one, like Tesla magnifier with the magnifier coil itself replaced with a crystal, right? In fact, alike devices are already there, and resonant piesoelectric transformers are sometimes used for high voltage PSUs. For TC operation though pieso would be insanely expensive even to outrun a tiny winding.
Here is a quick question, does the GU-81M have any similarities to the 833a or 833c? Just wondering cause i have an 833c (OMG!!!) and there are not many videos of 833's. So basically i am asking do they have similar streamer length?
what type of tube are you using?if you ever feel like it why dont you try to make a 811a tube tesla coil....you can get a 811a for 13.75 on ebay. need some advice cause i have a 811a coming and i am making a coil with 'er
Naah, 811 is too weak! This is GU-81m, however the spark is too short in this clip as it was an early design. In final version it gave 40cm streamers, but now I moved onto sstc anyway (btw posting the new sstc upgrade movie soon).
I tried on sstc already.. Greeny streamers rock! Will make a clip once the coil's rebuilt - I disliked the present secondary so atm I'm rebuilding one..
huh tnx! The coil has been fully rebuilt and is being upgraded once more atm, but this controller is still there :) Was handmade specially for this coil btw.. Btw bad the video quality sucks and it's tough to see the huge red trigger button on the right side of the controller!
ya've got a lack of perception then :) If ya can't figure it out, I mean the effect when the top layer of salt is burned out so the red flame (seen as yellow here "thanks" to the camera) starts to pulse.. And what did you expect? A nuke or alien assault?
Anyway it's the damn first version of that coil - atm it's rewound, reassembled and shoots way longer sparks..
why such a long secondary?

Cuz salt and a crystal are the same shape, why not put a crystal on it and measure the resonance frequency?

> pieso would be insanely expensive
Human-grown quartz rods, about 8" long, on eBay right now, $15 each. Search on "quartz x-bars"

Since the shape of salt is proportionate to a crystal why not electrify a crystal and measure the resonance frequency of it

I just got an Idea! why not get some pure barium or strontium salts to produce a green/ red glow?

very menacing looking controller you're holding there at the beginning.
