This video show the multiple spark gap, it cut the noise down in half, real easy to build.

start off with a 2ft piece of 3/8 copper tubing, and do some simple math to figure where you cuts, and where your pilot holes will be drilled.. its much easier to drill the holes first with a drill press, then cut the tubing with the necessary copper tubing cutters. you can insert a screwdriver into the 1" copper tube pieces to hold them while you screw a screw to stabilize it, in the video you will see how a staggered the screws using using only one screw per tube, this is so you can make minimal adjustments to your multiple spark.

you can definitely smell the ozone created by this.

  • if you put your salt water caps in salt water instead of using foil you will get a much better capacitance id say by about 40-50% on the ones you have

  • @HomeDistiller thanks, it has to be cheaper than the pcb caps i just destroyed....

  • Redknecks are beasts

  • @loscdirtrider stay in school kid, and dont be a follower. and by the way high freuqency energy can kill a xbox

  • Never get discoraged bro. Nice Job, but I was hoping you showed "How" you made the coil. I got a 10" dowel that I'm thinking about using.

  • @11111111jws what kind of dowel???? man, im not gonna lie its a pain to do by hand, but if you have to just take your pipe and drill a small hole at the top and bottom, this will let you feed the first bit of wire into the inside of the pipe, then its just patience and winding keeping it tight and when you get tired, or a sore finger, which tends to happen several times, just use the clear tape to hold it in place on your break, so it dont become loose...happy coiling

  • Nice videos man! This is why they tell you to not try it at home...because if u do u learn stuff...

  • @crob227 f you buy caps you need to make sure you have high voltage PULSE caps. any others will last only seconds.. also every cap you add in series adds its voltage rating to the string.. 3kv+3kv+3kv=9KV.. but bottle caps you should run all in parallel

  • HuHu, HuHu, Hillbilly

  • @alwaysmisternoise Tesla was evil. His discoveries were amazing!
