Hi there, congrats for the work! Have you ever tried your beast with an hi fi system, in subsitution of the tweeter section? Can I send you an email to have schematics or a description of the work? Thanks in advance, Alex
thanks :-) if you really want to build a coil there's much information on the internet. I can also send you my schematics if you contact me here on youtube (and then via email or skype). The spark won't kill you, it is very hot and will burn you like a normal flame. The EM field is shielded and doesn't harm electronics. In fact a computer can be directly connected to the sstc controller via USB.
Oh man, the theme to "Pippi Longstocking" at 2:23! Hahaha! Surprisingly good bass in the analog in mode. Still sounds flat, but cool, like a nice filter.
The monophonic sound is amazingly clear! Wow! The polyphonic sound is not bad either.
Are you using a 555 for pulse width modulating, or do you use a microcontroller? Or are you modulating in some other way? And what frequency is it running at?
Thanks :-) The monophonic melody is generated by the controlling µC (Atmel ATMega16). Here I use a signal with a constant duty cycle and the frequency of the note I want to play. The polyphonic sound generation uses a PWM frequency of abt 60kHz. The PWM signal is then used to interrupt the 1.6MHz carrier via a 74ACT08 AND gate. The coil itself works as an integrator. In that way the flame size and the air is modulated
Thanks for your response. I have never heard about a music mod with separate controls for poly- and monofonic sound before. It seems to work brilliantly.
die ist auch wirklich schön ^^, auch wieder pwm =) ? ich bis jetzt nur ne 4mhz AM audio mod gebaut und werd mir na dem nächst auch ne pwm class e baun ^^^
jupp die Grundschaltung ist die gleiche wie bei der großen coil. allerdings jetzt mit der Möglichkeit, dass der Microcontroller direkt PWM modulieren und so selbstständig Melodien spielen kann. Ausserdem verwende ich statt einem 200€-Transistor mit integriertem Treiber einen IRF640 für 50 cent + Transistortreiber ;-) Der Testaufbau lief an einem nachmittag! Es ist ein wirklich lohnendes Projekt. :-)
meinst du nich das, das nen bissel zu kompliziert ist =) ? ich würd für die pwm modulation dreick mit audio in einen komperator vergleichen und nen schmidttrigger dahinter ^^, wie bei class d amps. noch ne frage: wie sieht deine power supply aus ^^ ? ich sehe nen netzstecker reingehen ^^, betreibste sie direkt am netz ? oder noch nen netzteil davor ?
für die PWM gibts so ICs wie den TL494, aber ich mache genau das.. mit nem DDS-Generator baue ich mir nen Dreieck und dann kommt nen LT1016-Comparator. Als Supply bei der TinyTesla nehme ich zwei Laptop-Netzteile in Serie (2x19 Volt = 38V) von Pollin. Allerdings muss man da noch die Minuspol-auf-Masse-Verbindung von dem Oberen Netzteil auftrennen. Für die Große hab ich ein DC-Netzteil bis 120V bei 12.5A.
Absolutely fantastic! Very impressive mate.. both the sound and the overall appearance of your coil is BY FAR the nicest of any 'musical tesla coils' I've seen on YouTube so far.
A coil; like this would make a killer guitar amp.. :D
Hey jeff! yes it is :-) this was one of the very few melodies which directly worked from a midi source file without changing anything because it is monophonic. I'll have to import more midis and modify them so they'll sound nice.

Could you please send me specs on this? Im only a hobbyist, who restores tube radios, but this looks like quite a fun and interesting winter project.

omfg r8test thing (after arcattack ofc lol ) on utube ...... i`m planing 2 build smthng like that ...
any schematics on net on this size ??????
can u touch spark ? or it can kill u ?
and how bout computer components em field isnt deadly 4 computers ?

hey sam,
yes you can connect an mp3-player to the analog audio input and it will play the music (mono of course).
my previous coil (other videos) only supports playing normal music and needs a pc to control the whole thing.

OMG, this is amazing! Someday i'll definitely build a nice tesla coil with audio for myself!
And nice Pippi tunes too!
