well this is my tiny 4 cm tesla coil output voltage is prob around 20 kv it is powered by a flyback transformer that is inturn powerd by a electronic halogen transformer
the capacitor is much like the beer bottle types but is made of a small jam jar, it is at resonance frequency i believe and i noticed when people put there tiny tesla coil videos up on youtube there are no air discharges like there is on mine is this good or not

  • A fine little coil! Yes, the corona streamers indicate that the coil is working well and is at or near resonance. But perhaps it needs a bit more terminal capacitance. A slightly larger cabinet knob or small toroid on the top might reduce the corona and allow a stronger main discharge.

    Definitely one of the very best tiny TCs I've seen.

  • Thanks for your kind coments

    How ever this coild doesnt excist anymore as it was just th first coil i built and did not know much at the time but i am planning of making a small tesla coil again as i bought some wima caps it is not going to be as small as this but its going to be bigger than this .

    how ever in this yearr that iv been coiling i have made lots of sstc's half bridges , class e just sime single mosfet ones and other various hv devices

  • WoW have you tried making a HHO cell with a PWM attached to i am sure a lad with your brains would have a field day , and once again well done

  • thanks for kind comments :)

    well HHO cells arent actally my intrest lol, but i guess making a pulse witdh modulator wouldnt be much of a problem, but im very intrestec in high voltage

  • Why don't you put a toroid on it? Lttle sweet tesla coil with his little toroid! :D

  • lol i dont have this coil any more im making a large full bridge sstc

  • I keep looking for video of a Tesla actually creating energy as some people say.

  • how did you made it?¡

  • very cool....really clean looking too....I am trying to build my first TC with a flyback and haven't got the secondary to arc yet....do you really have to have the tank cap capacitance equal to the transformer inductance ? that's a lot of 2KV .1uF caps !

    thanks

  • DUDE you touched it HOW?!

  • como es el circuito?? me gustaria intentar hacerlo

  • im thinking about making a plasma speaker but i want it to have nice steamers like this one do i just hook wat i have to a tesla and could you give me a schematic

  • @bossoholic

    This highly depends on the ampree, but on average it is 50khz to 60khz for the "skin effect" to fully apply to human tissue and bypass the nervous system. It is not that your nerves cant sense it, the frequencey induces enough resistence so the current never touchs the nerves, thus there is nothing for them to "sense".

  • @coolaidkiller101

    Sure you can, depends on the output frequency, even 5kv at 100khz would produce "streamers".
