Science Fair Tesla Coil

[siciliancara]

where is the tesla coil

[greatseeker99]

Where do you get the things to build tesla coils?

[melbyRick]

I guess I need to keep studying... I always thought the whole point of a Tesla Coil was to GENERATE power... not to run on batteries...

[Coasterintheyard]

@melbyRick Tesla coils are resonance transformers... they higher voltage (consequecially lowering current)... that dosn't remotely relate to generating power.

[HorizonDelta]

Good job, boy, thanks to dad for help but it's o.k. for good will. Go on and beware of current ! ;-)

[jwish29]

lol @ 1:25. his dad helps him. I'm sorry I just don't believe he built this, if he did he had serious help.

sieben jahre alte kinder sollten nich mit hochspannung spielen. nachher packen sie noch in die steckdose weil sie denken das da bestimmt nichts passieren kann. nicht nachmachen gefährlich! dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yesschembri]

in probably sure that he didn't build it. BUT, for a 7 year old boy to be using this kind of circuits, knows what capacitors and high voltage coils do shows that he is heading in the right direction to create his own experiments. Every scientist needs to start from somewhere :) keep it up

[exploshonz]

the copasiter



[HusainHZ]

hi i dont understand how u made this can u pliz make a tutorial or something plizzzzzz

[applesauceis22]

Just a little more work you could get the tuning and do some wireless power transmission. Do it for next years science fair! Good work.

[Lachieh923]

This is cool. But it isnt actually a tesla coil. Just a normal iron core transformer (ignition coil). But its still pretty coil this kid made it and knows how it works!

[auvtomatkalashnikov]

That is very dangerous to make, says a 7 years old

[komakozeee]

@Kelarre653

im sure he was he's not that stupid ;P

[Electrikid221MnM]

when he said 45000 volts , i heard his dad whisper it to him



[Kelarre653]

@Electrikid221MnM

Well he IS 7, give him a break. :3

[Electrikid221MnM]

its pretty cool that he made this but i have no idea what his parents were thinking since i made my first high voltage projects at age 24.

[SaiVihtooMyint]

Haha that's soo cool, its amazing he knows how it works I love young educated children in our society!

[teddybear114]

This is nice! check out my coils and subscribe!

[nfkeller]

Congratulation Johnathon. Keep working

[mutanTV131]

DON'T HATE on this kid, i was 9 years old when i built my first Coil Gun without help.

[nicwilson89]

@24sensay Please never try this with a larger coil, the skin effect won't always protect you.

[OnaCR96]

Cool! Nice job! =D

[coilsinamotor]

its really intersting how you can use a switch and a high speed motor so achive the same occilating effect of the spark gap in a real tesla coil :)

[galamakazaba]

Omg the volts are over 9000!

[bob123surfer]

TOTALY NOT 50 KV

MABY 20

1 cm = about 20 kv

[nicwilson89]

@bob123surfer Typically, it's 1kV per 1.1mm of distance in air. The voltage required to jump a 1cm gap would most likely be around 9-10kV.

[rowen211]

cool! how did u build it?

[Checker613]

Don't try it at home! Try it at a friend's home!

[kyroguy]

@Jason1518120 Are you the guy that goes around telling kids that Santa isn't real too? Of course he had help but he came up with the idea and help with anything he safely could. He also learned a lot from it and isn't that the point?

[MrStemkilla]

@kyroguy dont get me wrong he did learn something from this but he should be able to do it by himself the second time if he truly learned.. i know i tough my self about high voltage and electronics im 16 and im modifying complex electronics or making them now. doing something like this would have helped me last year but i skeped stuff like this and play with higher voltiges :) also thats not a tesla coil

[TheKultus]

@MrStemkilla Just like you Skeped your English classes?

[Boeserwolf93]

@kyroguy even worse. hes that guy who is envious of 7-year-olds because they are smarter than him

[xTwistD]

Hit my name is um *dad whisphers to him* Jonathan!

[xXNo0bZXx]

It's like 50k Volts... Good job! Keep it up!

[levip1611]

haha i love it when he leans over and his dad says the amount of volts passing through.

[MrBurlingtonNorthern]

very nice Job Young man... pretty cool :-)

[thebrian266]

good job this is cool  in useing car coil for spark keep up the good work
