Twin Solid State Musical Tesla Coils Out of Phase

[blackman2101]

these things would make a fiiiillllthyyyyy bassline

[gizmoguyar]

I'm trying to wrap my head around this. Is this correct? The coils run at a very high freq. which we can't hear, near 200,000 Hz. Then using the SS electronics you are (maybe by limiting the input current and thus the capacitor charge time) changing the time in between "discharges" to 200 - 800 HZ which produces the tonal frequency that we hear. And then you are also turning the entire coil on and off to produce the very low or sub audible frequencies, or for music to produce individual notes?

[megavoltmeister]

@gizmoguyar You are on the right track. Each coil is an oscillator that operates at 47,000 Hz. It requires a pulse signal to start oscillating. The length of the pulse also determines the amount of time the coil is oscillating. That time some what determines the spark length and power. Each time a coil is triggered, a pop sound is produced. If you do that 60 times a second you get a buzz sound that has a pitch of 60 Hz. So to make specific notes, trigger freq is the as the note you want

lol star wars shit goin on right there

[killweb2]

i wonder what would happen if you were struck by both... KA-BOOM

I NEED ONE...............BAD.....

Satisfaction.. satisfaction..

How do you know something is 180 degrees out of phase? Please don't hit me.

[megavoltmeister]

When the sparks hook up between the two coils, the phase is 180 degrees different when comparing the 2 signals. The current draw also drops way down do to energy exchange between the coils.

omg

[MattBlytheTheOne]

if you notice at certain frequecies the arc becomes more stable, at low freqs it drops off and at high freqs it becomes erratic... interesting thanks!

SCIENCE. YOUVE DONE IT AGAIN!

souds like the price is right

lol

[pizzaboy192]

I would hate to be this guys neighbor

[Rabbidry]

I'd LOVE to be this guys neighbor

[JPRubber2]

Heh, I just HAVE to find out if my father-in-law IS! I would love to se this in person...

[SSat155]

Electropanic static!

[mechaghostman2]

I never can stop being amazed with eletricity. Even theese famous Nicola Tesla coils, modernized, are so cool!

[adoroci]

and that what i call electro music :D

[draggonhedd]

at 1:00 all i can think of is "Brainwasher" by Daft Punk :D

[Animegamer04]

AAAAAAAGH!!!!!! Very cool but annoying noise!!

[skidbone]

should be a new home intruder system, one flick and the coils cook em

[reportingsjr]

Haha! But what happens when it accidentally gets turned on when you walk in?

[ryuhinomaru]

then youll know it works

[gusgus777]

LOL!

[robroydude]

try 21 feet!! Good job brother.

[hvhaxor]

hell no go closer and turn up the bps GET A HF ARC not juest low feq sparcs

[bimkins]

Is anybody else reminded of the tesla coils in Command and Conquer? :)

[Jeppeto01]

Easily reminded, the best defense system ever. However could be destroyed by tanks.

[snerjeck]

Or much cheaper, a dumbass in a Faraday suit.

[TDPhotoshop]

OMG, best comment ever... omg rofl

[neondave]

what is the total power consumtion of both coils to reach 15 feet spark length ?? Thanks,dave

[megavoltmeister]

The power level is lower than when we play music through the coils. Surprisingly it is quite low. I think the current was around 10 or 15 amps at 240 volts for each coil but I am going from memory and am not sure that was the 13 or 15 foot distance.

[neondave]

ok, thanks,..i get many 4' + hits with my 4" coil, but im running 3kw & static gaps....

[megavoltmeister]

sounds good. :-) Thanks for posting.

out freaking standing
