Yes they are inefficientransmitters but transmitters nonetheless. We are in a neighborhood and not far from final approach to a commercial airport. Most if not all TVs in our area are on cable.

@MrJoemeister Thomas Edison was a genius in the sense of being able to make a consumer product and successfully sell it to a mass market, and move on to the next thing making investors rich. This kind of success resonates much closer to the American psyche than the things Tesla did.

I think a experienced coiler needs to make a video to address the myth that you can touch the output of a Tesla coil and not be harmed .
For those that think you can touch the output and not be harmed,you are WRONG!
If you get zapped by a big coil there is a good chance you will DIE and if you happen to not die you will be badly burned and there is a chance you could have
major damage to your nerves and circulatory system.
hope he doesn't want any (more) kids...impotency caused by exposure to high electrical/magnetic fields is well documented...having said that, this video rocks!

3. X-rays can damn well occur in air. I never had my teeth X-rayed in a vacuum, have you?
5. There's a hypothesis that ionization left in the wake of a cosmic ray is what initializes a lightning strike. Clouds do not produce enough electric potential to break down hundreds of meters of air themselves, that's why lightning has been mysterious so far.
xrays are produced in a vacuum tube when electricity is applied from cathode to a angled rotating anode. the resultant particles are sent to a silver crystal film forming an image.
...medical xrays are produced in such a manner. My point is they will travel through air just fine and there are plenty of natural situations in which they are produced without a vacuum (there's no vacuum inside a star).
Xrays are just produced more easily in a vacuum, that's all.
It's cool, but my problem is long term effect. You might get cancer for this or sperms will suffer. There's a small town somewhere in the Asia and animals were dying with no reason. Guess what they found? The town was up on the mountain, so thick fog was there early in the morning and powerline was going through the town. That was it. Anyway, be careful.
I have just appeared on national TV (A Current Affair WIN TV) in view of my understanding OF HV power lines and health from both a high voltage and medical specialist point of view. I am aware of the hundred studies or so that relate to this area. What you are saying though is rubbish about killing animals and sperm suffering. Big studies that actually measure EM fields have not shown any linkage with disease.
Thanks for clearing that up. I was worried about you doing that. To people like me, it looks dangerous.
I want to see ionosphere charged with electricity, you subscribe it just like cellphone service today and drive a car with just a motor. That would be Tesla's dreams come true. Anyway, keep up the good work.
That can be so dangerous but it's so awesome! I wonder how many peoples TV's and radios your disrupting in your neighborhood? LOL... Make sure the FCC & Cops doesn't come take away your coil... ;) I want to build one... I know how, I just don't have the money...! =( I give thanks to good old Nikola Tesla! Awesome Video! 5+ Remember, "Volts Jolt, Mills (amperes) Kill..."
3. Yes you can, You'll need a small power supply like a neon sign one, That'll give you enough power,
I was going to build a small one, But i gave up on the neon power part, That is the important bit,
Oh, You'll also need around 1000ft of coil for a big one, a small one, about 800 winds worth. Depends how thick the coil is and how big the tube its wrapped around it.
@Tesladownunder Well honestly it sounds plausible (the russian/american army comment) They did try some alot silly things. The japanese tried to make a ray gun to sink boats or something. The chinese were working on a bomb filled with bats... with tiny bombs on them.(lol) the russians designed a hand held rocket launcher style nuclear rocket that had a rather short range (lol!) I wouldn't be surprised if a country did honestly try and make tesla coil weapons.
One scary thing about it is that a TV can operate as if nothing is wrong with it and, you don't know you are being bombarded by x-ray as you watch your show. People never really think about that, and maybe it never gets reported, but I am pretty sure there cancer cases caused by that. Lots of people develop cancer, but the last thing we would blame is a TV set.
Also bypassing the x-ray protection will not produce x-ray that circuit is just there if the TV have a malfunction that cause it to produce x-ray, such as a reduction in the capacitor value in the horizontal output. You would have to be an electronic expert to do all these. It would be easier to just take a CRT and make an xray device. TV have some pretty complicated circuits.
Sparks of this length do not produce x-rays. The mean free electron path in air is very short.
Lightning does produce some but this is not because of size or power but rather the mechanism of spark propagation is relativistic electrons triggered by cosmic radiation.
The only way to produce x-ray is using cathode ray tube. A regular TV can produce X-ray if you were to disable the x-ray protection circuit. I would never tell you how to do it because you might get some evil idea on someone.
Not really because a TV is designed to shut off atmatically if you disable that. You would turn it on then shut off again. I is not that easy to do unless you know electronics.
I know what you mean here we call it "rele" I don't know it's english name but I can bypass this for sure.But I wasn't aware of that x-ray protection thing cause I never worked on a TV
There two types of x-ray protection on TV. One is in the main chip, and the other would be the capacitor at the base/emitter junction of the horizontal output transistor. If those capacitor were to change value which usually becomes less, that transistor would increase in Frequency, and create extrmely high voltage to produce x-ray. The main chip would sense that and go into shutdown mode. You can purposely use a TV set to produce x-ray.
You are talking rubbish. There is no electronic circuit to prevent x-rays. X-ray production is reduced by the thickness of glass and lead content of the glass in front of the screen. In any event electrons are only accelerated to 25kV which is not that penetrating and fairly easily blocked.
There is no appreciable production of x-rays from TV's on my Geiger counter which is sensitive down to 7kV.
He's not on about X-Ray prevention as such, but deliberately modifying the function of the television to produce X-Rays. Whilst normally TVs do not produce such radiation hence they have no protection from it, in the manner which is described here they can be stimulated to produce X-Rays.
The x-ray production from a TV screen CRT is well screened by the lead glass. The concern was that failure of the HV leading to excessive voltage in the rectifier VALVES could produce x-rays. It does not occur in solid state sets. You don't produce x-rays on a chip as tangnatalga seems to think. Anyway off topic.
That is very cool. Did you know that Nikola Tesla sat in a metal cage completely exposed reading a book while his tesla coil started frying the cage but he was completely unharmed.
I didn't know (and nor did you) because he didn't. It was a simple double exposure - relatively easy in the days of photographic plates. There was no metal cage.
Rubbish. Read the comments from the previous page. This not a constant DC spark. It is a highly chaotic waveform and peak currents are in the amps. Even a tiny TC has painful sparks.
Not really, its 250V in Australia. The electricity bill for the year is a few dollars total for the Tesla coils. 5kW for perhaps 5 mins perhaps 20 times per year at 17Cents/KWH
does anyone know how much money construction of this one costs? i live in a tropical country, we have a lot of mosquitoes, this would come very handy, tnx!!!
looks like your using just a grounded rod at 30s with no cage, pretty ballsy man.
I'm working on a SSTC about similar size to yours here. I got hold of some huge brick sized BJTs used for welding. I'm hoping to try and audio modulate a CW in a 2 meter arc. So I can have some clear music going, unlike the distorted DRSSTCs
A dollar per year is a difficult concept for you? Several kWH per year. These things consume 5-10kW and are run for seconds at a time. Cumulative perhaps 5 mins per night. The consumption is miniscule compared to airconditioning, electric cooking or the boost for our solar hot water.
there's an absolute certainty you will die. the only comfort available may be in knowing you might die doing something you like doing instead of something you don't want to do or worse, something you hate doing altogether.
hang on, brainiac. i'm simply making the case for doing whatever it is you find interesting in this life 'cause it will ultimately seem short, and at the end you may regret not playing with electricity or being too timid to try base jumping or supermoto racing or underwater welding -but like i said before and correctly so, you will certainly die, of something, eventually. just don't forget to live while you're here. besides, have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be 135 years old?
I know I just love anything Tesla related. One day I must get round to making a really big Tesla Coil. I wonder what would happen if the primary coil were switched via a funxction generater at various frequencies. I wonder if you could get a Tesla coil to produce Lissajoux Figures, as in a complete circle of sparks or figure of 8 shapes for example. If an oscilloscope can do it. I bet a Tesla Coil can too. That would be interesting to see. Your coil will be resoant at more than one frequency.
But Voltage = Currency*Resistance, so Currency = Voltage/Resistance. Human Body has a Resistance of about 1000 Ohm, with higher Voltage, you get a higher currency, so it might kill you. At least, thats what i have learned.
Ah yes but you need to understand what a resistance is. A resistance of anything is something which obstructs electrical current flow and therefore reduces the overall voltage. Your body will have a lot more than 1000 ohms resistance.
It is ture that Tesla generators or "Air Cored Resonant Transformers" do produce huge voltages, but remember the transformer rule from school V1/V2 = N1/N2, where V=Voltage and N=turns. When you increase the voltage, from a transformer you reduce its available current.
This is why household electricity is transmitted over great distances at very high voltage, so that the current is not wasted by heating the transmission wires, due to their resistance.
Tesla used to work for Edison and they fell out bwecause Tesla could see the advantages of AC whereas Edison thought that DC would become the norm. He was of course wrong, but DC cannot travel very far and cannot be directly transformed, although there are DC to AC converters, which are basically DC motors turning and AC generator. Edison and Tesla parted company over this issue and Tesla later went on to lay the foundations of the electricity transmisssion system we have today.
If you touch the terminals of say a car battery, with dry skin it is not going to hurt you because the voltage pressure is only a meaasly 12 volts, yet the current available from a car battery is in the order of 300A, it has to be to turn the starter motor under compression. It a combination of the voltage and the resistance of your body, which prevents enough of the available current flowing to hurt you. 7ma or 0.007A applied directly across your heart WILL hurt you,possibly stopping your heart
Yes but you are a) using the transformer rule and b) an HF frequency, These work on a similar principle to the plasma globes found in executive toy shops a few years back. It has nothing to do with batteries or DC or anything which will happily fry you.
remember V1/N1 = V2/N2. I don't know about tens of amps in the secondary.If you use a neon sign generator which has an output of 5A Peak AC at around 15,000V or thereabouts, step the voltage up and the current will be reduced.
You still don't understand. The primary current is due to the discharge of a capacitor at hundreds of amps within 100,000 th second. the secondary charges up the toroid of perhaps 50pF which can then discharge even faster but once connected will ring at 100,000 Hz or so. Discharge a capacitor = BANG get it?
this guy is still alive? O_O

I wonder what X-ray doses he is exposing himself to.
2ndKnight 2 years ago
Sparks of this length do not produce x-rays. The mean free electron path in air is very short.
Lightning does produce some but this is not because of size or power but rather the mechanism of spark propagation is relativistic electrons triggered by cosmic radiation.
Tesladownunder 2 years ago
The only way to produce x-ray is using cathode ray tube. A regular TV can produce X-ray if you were to disable the x-ray protection circuit. I would never tell you how to do it because you might get some evil idea on someone.

You already gave me that evil idea!
BillyVax 2 years ago
Not really because a TV is designed to shut off atmatically if you disable that. You would turn it on then shut off again. I is not that easy to do unless you know electronics.
tangnatalaga 2 years ago
I know what you mean here we call it "rele" I don't know it's english name but I can bypass this for sure.But I wasn't aware of that x-ray protection thing cause I never worked on a TV
BillyVax 2 years ago
There two types of x-ray protection on TV. One is in the main chip, and the other would be the capacitor at the base/emitter junction of the horizontal output transistor. If those capacitor were to change value which usually becomes less, that transistor would increase in Frequency, and create extrmely high voltage to produce x-ray. The main chip would sense that and go into shutdown mode. You can purposely use a TV set to produce x-ray.
tangnatalaga 2 years ago
You are talking rubbish. There is no electronic circuit to prevent x-rays. X-ray production is reduced by the thickness of glass and lead content of the glass in front of the screen. In any event electrons are only accelerated to 25kV which is not that penetrating and fairly easily blocked.
There is no appreciable production of x-rays from TV's on my Geiger counter which is sensitive down to 7kV.
Tesladownunder 2 years ago
He's not on about X-Ray prevention as such, but deliberately modifying the function of the television to produce X-Rays. Whilst normally TVs do not produce such radiation hence they have no protection from it, in the manner which is described here they can be stimulated to produce X-Rays.
GrumpyGrebo 2 years ago
The x-ray production from a TV screen CRT is well screened by the lead glass. The concern was that failure of the HV leading to excessive voltage in the rectifier VALVES could produce x-rays. It does not occur in solid state sets. You don't produce x-rays on a chip as tangnatalga seems to think. Anyway off topic.

That is very cool. Did you know that Nikola Tesla sat in a metal cage completely exposed reading a book while his tesla coil started frying the cage but he was completely unharmed.

I didn't know (and nor did you) because he didn't. It was a simple double exposure - relatively easy in the days of photographic plates. There was no metal cage.

Rubbish. Read the comments from the previous page. This not a constant DC spark. It is a highly chaotic waveform and peak currents are in the amps. Even a tiny TC has painful sparks.

I will tell you that they don't come cheap. They cost sometimes over 1,000 dollars. I asume that building one will make it cheaper, but not much.

looks like your using just a grounded rod at 30s with no cage, pretty ballsy man.
I'm working on a SSTC about similar size to yours here. I got hold of some huge brick sized BJTs used for welding. I'm hoping to try and audio modulate a CW in a 2 meter arc. So I can have some clear music going, unlike the distorted DRSSTCs

b5201 2 years ago 2
A dollar per year is a difficult concept for you? Several kWH per year. These things consume 5-10kW and are run for seconds at a time. Cumulative perhaps 5 mins per night. The consumption is miniscule compared to airconditioning, electric cooking or the boost for our solar hot water.

I'm an amateur and I want to make this. Is there a chance I might die?
norgul 2 years ago
there's an absolute certainty you will die. the only comfort available may be in knowing you might die doing something you like doing instead of something you don't want to do or worse, something you hate doing altogether.
superburntguy 2 years ago
its unlikely you will die as the tiny amount of current is not enough to hurt you. It is current that kills not voltage.
What you have here is a resonant air cored transformer where inductive reactance is equal to capacitive reactance and therefore is resonant.
ideally the primary winding should be about a dozen turns of thick wire with the diameter of twice that of the secondary.
empty carpet tubes make ideal secondary cylinders

hang on, brainiac. i'm simply making the case for doing whatever it is you find interesting in this life 'cause it will ultimately seem short, and at the end you may regret not playing with electricity or being too timid to try base jumping or supermoto racing or underwater welding -but like i said before and correctly so, you will certainly die, of something, eventually. just don't forget to live while you're here. besides, have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be 135 years old?
andyburntguys 2 years ago
I know I just love anything Tesla related. One day I must get round to making a really big Tesla Coil. I wonder what would happen if the primary coil were switched via a funxction generater at various frequencies. I wonder if you could get a Tesla coil to produce Lissajoux Figures, as in a complete circle of sparks or figure of 8 shapes for example. If an oscilloscope can do it. I bet a Tesla Coil can too. That would be interesting to see. Your coil will be resoant at more than one frequency.
computersolutions164 2 years ago
But Voltage = Currency*Resistance, so Currency = Voltage/Resistance. Human Body has a Resistance of about 1000 Ohm, with higher Voltage, you get a higher currency, so it might kill you. At least, thats what i have learned.
DrPesT666 2 years ago
Ah yes but you need to understand what a resistance is. A resistance of anything is something which obstructs electrical current flow and therefore reduces the overall voltage. Your body will have a lot more than 1000 ohms resistance.
computersolutions164 2 years ago
Well, as I mentioned, thats just the stuff (I think) I learned at school.^^
DrPesT666 2 years ago
It is ture that Tesla generators or "Air Cored Resonant Transformers" do produce huge voltages, but remember the transformer rule from school V1/V2 = N1/N2, where V=Voltage and N=turns. When you increase the voltage, from a transformer you reduce its available current.
This is why household electricity is transmitted over great distances at very high voltage, so that the current is not wasted by heating the transmission wires, due to their resistance.
computersolutions164 2 years ago
Tesla used to work for Edison and they fell out bwecause Tesla could see the advantages of AC whereas Edison thought that DC would become the norm. He was of course wrong, but DC cannot travel very far and cannot be directly transformed, although there are DC to AC converters, which are basically DC motors turning and AC generator. Edison and Tesla parted company over this issue and Tesla later went on to lay the foundations of the electricity transmisssion system we have today.
computersolutions164 2 years ago
If you touch the terminals of say a car battery, with dry skin it is not going to hurt you because the voltage pressure is only a meaasly 12 volts, yet the current available from a car battery is in the order of 300A, it has to be to turn the starter motor under compression. It a combination of the voltage and the resistance of your body, which prevents enough of the available current flowing to hurt you. 7ma or 0.007A applied directly across your heart WILL hurt you,possibly stopping your heart
computersolutions164 2 years ago
You don't understand that the current in a Tesla coil can be hundreds of amps in the primary and 10's of amps in the secondary.
Why? Because we are not talking about a DC battery but a complex AC waveform due to discharge of capacitors and ringing resonances.
Even the tiny Tesla coils cause muscular contraction. Your heart is just a muscle.
Tesladownunder 2 years ago
Yes but you are a) using the transformer rule and b) an HF frequency, These work on a similar principle to the plasma globes found in executive toy shops a few years back. It has nothing to do with batteries or DC or anything which will happily fry you.
remember V1/N1 = V2/N2. I don't know about tens of amps in the secondary.If you use a neon sign generator which has an output of 5A Peak AC at around 15,000V or thereabouts, step the voltage up and the current will be reduced.
G7HMJ
computersolutions164 2 years ago
You still don't understand. The primary current is due to the discharge of a capacitor at hundreds of amps within 100,000 th second. the secondary charges up the toroid of perhaps 50pF which can then discharge even faster but once connected will ring at 100,000 Hz or so. Discharge a capacitor = BANG get it?
