Ha! Yep, the bigger you build them, the louder they get. Been working with these for over 25 years and there's always something new to learn. This one can't kill you, just make you piss you pants a little since the amperage is very low. 10-15 feet and taller...Now your in the area of a heart stopping jolt.
As long as the person is not grounded, they're safe. Soon as you are grounded, you'd complete the circuit and "PRESTO!" Fried human. Remember, that's how the electric chair works: and electrode fastened to the head and one on the ankle and the person in the middle of it gets zapped. In fact, Edison invented the electric chair in his attempt to show how dangerous AC is.
Tesla naturally, proved him wrong. Genius triumphed over "trial & error."
@baxter5431 Actually thats false. What makes electricity dangerous is ampere not volts. Sense a tesla coil has such a low amount of amps it is completely harmless.
Yes, that's true also. Doesn't matter how high the voltage, as long as the amperage is low, your safe. But being grounded while receiving electricity is not safe either. Why are these people who allow power from coils to flow over them are always raised above the ground on insulated platforms or wearing insulated boots? Try it without it and have your next of kin let me know what happened.
I'm playing with high voltage devices such flyback transformers and I am planing to build a Tesla Coil with about the same size like the one in this video. How much power do you use to feed the input of that coil?
@Hopefull93 The one in the video was probably around 2kW, which isn't that much, you can get streamers that big with 2-3 15000v, 60 mA non-gfi transformers.
Tesla sat in a chair next to his original design and proved that it s harmless. Not sure exactly how it works but was describe to me that the current does NOT travel through your nervous system but through just your skin without burning you. Like one of those elictrical spheres you can get at Spensers lol
i wunder if u can apply the safety measures you did to the rod onto a metal glove then it would look like youre actually have lightning coming from ur hands! :D
Actually it seemed like that person knew what he was doing, he had the pole grounded to earth, not through him, (the little red wire on the tip of the pole) and he had hearing protection as well.
@mabbagorro Youre so smart. Im glad you can take the precious seconds out of your day to enlighten us with your knowledge and trivialize this guys hard work. Just genius.
"that is not a tesla coil. that is just a toy, you don't want to do that with a real tesla coil."
@xtex3 lol, I like red alert 2 w. Made sense rights. Tesla was russian... Don't worry. I don't see them tesla towers or troopers or tanks, or reactors, or boats, or... Wow, did the divider have a life OUTSIDE of NIkola Tesla?
Free inexhaustible energy is real!But the big oil corporations don't want that technology revealed,Get a real free energy motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Join the energy revolution!
Grounding on this coil seems to be a little inadequate. You can see the gound cable arcing to ground and smoking in places, indicating the grounding rod is not deep enough/doesn't have a good enough RF connection to ground.
Arg xD I dont think most of the people that says "Who the fuck has a tesla coil on his backyard" know that you can make a fudgeing tesla coil out of stuff you can buy at a hardware store! :P And if you own/make one you are not gonna put it in your kitchen.. Where are you gonna put it? IN YOUR BACKYARD!
i actually thought ( in the beginning) that tesla coils were fictional devices coming from videogames like the C&C series, i find it disturbing ( yet amazed) that these things exist :)
Yes, I too at one point also believed that tesla coils were just a support structure. But don't worry they have more uses in entertainment than in killing. I don't see tesla towers, tesla troopers, tesla tanks, stingrays(tesla boat), tesla reactors...
Wow. Did the soviets have anything else going through their heads besides Nikola Tesla?
this man is stupid did he not know that electricity etc tries too reach the ground and that if u hold something its touching it goes too you inside of u too reach the ground meaning his organs are burning a bit and he doesnt even realise
Electricity always takes the path of least resistance. He's safe because of the copper ground wire, but if he did something like touch the coil with his bare hands, he'd be charred like a pine in a forest fire. The human body has tiny voltages going through it, and anything above half an amp can be lethal. It's like putting 100,000 volts through your house and turning every light and appliance on
I solved the mystery of three six and nine, The dates are September in 1899, When Nikola Tesla made the land, Wave like the sea. Yakutat Bay Earthquakes from Pike's Peak YOU NOW SEE. -CMS If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe. — Nikola Tesla
Nothing will happen then.His resistance (or better say impendance) is a way much higher than impendance of ground wire attached to the stick.Better question would be :"What would happpen if some sneaky person disconnect or cut the ground wire?".Eh,not a good thing.
OMG,what lotta shit of comments about this video. Are you all ignorant or dumb or blind or all that?
This guy IS NOT conducting HF currents through his body.The GROUNDED wire is attached to the hand held object and all the current from arc flows through that wire in the ground.BTW,talking about stupidy there is a women Danielle Stampe who really conducts TC currents through her body (to a great extent).Now,that's what I call stupid...
@peterdepeer Greater than Edison? C'mon, Edison is the one that pioneered this shit. If anything, just say Tesla was a step further to technology than we were when Edison was around. If it weren't for Edison, this shit wouldn't even exist today.
@ra2yuri4 Yah, while Edison was touting the failures of DC delivery systems as benefits Tesla was working on the 'impossible' AC motor, the induction motor, and the transformer. Bow your head in shame. It's Tesla that made it possible for you to get cheap electricity in your home, and highly reliable motors like the one in your refrigerators' compressor. Let's not forget he came up withf radio control and the concept of the internet before it was conceived! Read a book, you might learn.
@ra2yuri4 I don't see how me bing queer has anything to do with your comment, but since we're going into stereotypes. . . You could do with some English lessons while you're living in your mother's basement, mooching off of weak wi-fi signals to get your fix.

I do have to apologize for taking so long to get back to you; you see, I have a life, and it keeps me busy.
No. The skin effect on flesh is 60 inches (our flesh is not even close to being that thick)
Maybe on a whale
All that power will travel in the walls of your veins and will still hurt you. You wont feel the pain though (because the frequenc is too high)- but is still very dangerous.
skin effects comes with high frequenties and will make the spark (if high enuf freq) harmless only the heat will be the problem but with any metal object you can safly take the sparks.
At the Khz frequencies, the skin effect is about 60" on HUMAN FLESH, not on other conductors.
It may not do much harm anyway, but its better to be safe than sorry at such power levels. Human flesh skin effect becomes true when you get into the MHZ frequ. (small coils)
The skin effect in the body doesn't apply only to the skin, but the outsides of the nerves and veins (small amperages are concentrated on the walls and can cause heating)- especially to the retinas and testicles (low blood flow)
If you call the capacity to kill you not that dangerous I would agree...
However, I would say that the circumstances under which it can kill you are very rare and can be minimised further with careful design, however the streamers ARE capable of giving you severe burns, especially when you get into the multi-kilowatt power levels...
I went to the Tesla museum in Colorado Springs a few times when I was a kid. They had a coil in a big room and would let us hold a flourecent bulb (not touching the metals ends of course) and it would light up. Very cool
it is 100% real, and have you noticed the small wire attached to the tip of the pvc pipe? that would be ground, and the electricity will take the path of least resistance, down the wire, not all of the way down the plastic, and into his hand. te coil cant even spark as long as the plastic, so he is safe.
Nope, glass is a poor insulator when you get up in the 100,000V plus level, the streamer would travel along the surface of the glass and connect with your hand... I'll post a video to back up my claim sometime...
Well, that is a real coil, thats how they look, and someone made a lightning gun with a tesla coil, which could kill anything with ease, its just that the concept with our current tech isn't effective. So, good weapon for a Bond villain or someone looking to scare the hell out of their enemy, not so much on the battlefeild... yet.
Hehehehe, at those voltage levels, rubber gloves would only serve to make a fashion statement! Talk about burn right through... I hope nobody tries this!
i made a basic light saber thats not fully a beam but is very similar and the plasma is very hot and burns stuff! just check out my video 8 on my wireless energy research!

If that's a glass rod, which I assume it is, it is perfectly safe.

Nope, glass is a poor insulator when you get up in the 100,000V plus level, the streamer would travel along the surface of the glass and connect with your hand... I'll post a video to back up my claim sometime...

Wow, no offence.
But it almost does look fake.
The C&C Red Alert 2 Tesla Coil looked more Real.
Well just looks 30% Fake, I said Fake not Real.
But what it does, does look real.
PS: Please tell me the Tesla Coil would make a good Weapon.
Odience101 2 years ago
Well, that is a real coil, thats how they look, and someone made a lightning gun with a tesla coil, which could kill anything with ease, its just that the concept with our current tech isn't effective. So, good weapon for a Bond villain or someone looking to scare the hell out of their enemy, not so much on the battlefeild... yet.

Hehehehe, at those voltage levels, rubber gloves would only serve to make a fashion statement! Talk about burn right through... I hope nobody tries this!
