Xenosonic Audio Modulation DRSSTC Tesla Coil

nice thing... .but it sounds a bit like it's farting! :)

I ordered the xenosonic board....Not such great audio quality even when I had a sinusoidal audio input. Blew my coil again and again :P

@TheJuga

Firstly, the xenosonic board doesn't product great audio quality by any stretch of the imagination. It merely PRF modulates a high voltage arc by turning it on and off repetively at the audio tone desired. At best, this sounds like a buzzing on steroids - hardly anything of quality audio.

Secondly, if you were blowing your coil again and again, you obviously did not have the xenosonic set up properly for your coil (prf, pulsewidth, etc... not properly set)

[TheJuga]

Oh well I meant when I inputted a clean sinusoidal audio signal it came out sounding sort of fuzzy and the coil didnt make really clean tones. I turned the pulsewidth up which seems like the only way to increase audio quality (obviously not analog good but good enough to get good tones) and get sufficient sized arc but the price of that is unreliability and duty cycle increase which causes everything to blow. Also I made the mistake of buying the board before the site was redesigned...

And the keywords "even when i had a sinusoidal audio input" is a MAJOR clue. This means you obviously input other types of complex waveforms and did not follow the instructions. Remember, this is a simple zero cross detection circuit and complex waveforms with lots of harmonics will not work properly. You obviously did not follow the instructions.

wouldnt it be theoretically possible to connect this to an amp just by getting another noder (or kathode i always mistake them) and connect it to an amp and let the bolt hit it? i mean sure you would need to switch some equipment in between to change the voltage but would it be possible? and what would you need?

[izidor7]

What would you amplifie??? i don't understand quite... the arc. or what???

AWESOME!
