Tesla Coil Vacuum Expiriments pt1

I have finally got around to building a more dependable vacuum container for all my high frequency high voltage Tesla coil experiment. the plastic container works great, it has a latch to really lock the top in place, and has a rubber gasket so the seal will stay, i drilled a 3/8 hole into the plastic in put the proper copper pipe and soldered a brass fitting that fits my hoses. the copper pipe also acts as my single electrode from the Tesla Coil.

i put less than a teaspoon of ammonia in a small cap, under a vacuum the ammonia boils releasing the fumes "which look like smoke in the video". got the idea from gilbondfac and for further interest you can look a my favorites and finds his video, and i have been told different elements create different colors of light.

Things change when under a vacuum for sure as you see in the video,gonna try to go in with a open mind, and see if i can learn a thing or two, so all comments are welcome, and appreciated.

Good experiment!!

Hey, did this means that in vacuum, the spark will travel longer?

I mean, did the vacuum decreased the path resistance??

Thanks!!

Keep it coming!!

[crob227]

yes, the vacuum is making the air/amonia vapor a path of least resisence.

[JRBeaman]

Air has lower resistance than a vacuum. ok......

cool vid bro im dying to do some testing of my own but i just cant

[morpher44]

very cool

[boxa888]

now if you put a tungsten target you will have xrays and if you put a few wires in that tube you could probably make a basic triode or something! LOL great job crobb. what i did is real, i just havent had time to keep the tests going, and it keeps raining, my coils are on a cardboard roller so i dont want them to sag. the 20 ft wireless transmission is real , the dirt was all that seperated them!

[crob227]

yes it will hold for days,,, but not afull vacuum i think ineed a shut off valve close to the hose end, cause when ever i unscrew the hose a little i lose some vacuum and the appearance of the electricity changes

[kubikop]

Looks like the vacuum allows the electricity to travel easier

5 by 5 dude ;-)

sweet, makes me dribble a little.. Mmm sparkeis..

[2550osiosterdalen]

That is why you cant get an engine to start if you cut off the groung pin on the sparkplug. You get spark in open air, but in the engine the air gets more dense and blocks the spark.

cool that works well-how low can the jug go?-now you can add all sorts of gasses and stuff in there and zap it.

got a MIG welder?throw some gas in if you do;}

try and get a rotating brush like gilbondfac has done

[afdhalatifftan92]

Thanks for the quick reply dude!!

I can't wait to see your future videos!! Lol!!
