Dudes first big Tesla coil - only 4k volts

Uploaded by darcyklyne on Sep 7, 2009
Discussion about this project at http://www.energeticforum.com/renewable-energy/4697-3-tesla-coil-w-3-mot-hv-s... . This is really my first unaided attempt to build a tesla coil. I'm still learning, but thought i could pass on what little i have come to comprehend. Please feel free to point out any thing i am doing or saying incorrectly.
Larger Tesla Coil by Thedude. 3 Microwave Transformers,1 has secondary shorted out and acts as an inductive ballast in series with the other 2 which are hooked together in parallel. This should help prevent over loading the MOTs which would otherwise run unrestricted.
Although th tesla coil is large. Power supply is only really providing 4000 volts to the circuit. I am driving the voltage up by connecting 16K volts of capacitors and using a rotary spark gap (bedini Fan SSG) to trigger them at a lower frequency than a static gap would.
Warning!
Tesla Coils are to be operated responsibly. Please research before replicating any High voltage
experiment. Tesla coils are generally intended to be operated outdoors. My secondary is grounded
separately on a line going outside.
Thanks
TheDude

@plasmaninjaa Ya Thanks plasmaninjaa. Was a few years ago. Had static gaps and no variac at that time. Made video cuz was first real functioning Tesla Coil. Doing DDRSTC style now. Keep up the great work on critiquing 3 year old videos.

Nice work but i think you need a better rotary spark gap it looks like that one is not even close to being fast enuff .....have fun keep it safe and Protect your HEARING....

Thanks. Not bad for first time around with a larger coil. Waiting for new power supply, variac and better rotary spark gap to come in. Hopefully we'll really see some sparks fly then.
