what happens if you attach magnets to it?
-
This is an impressive coil. Although it was your final year project I'm sure you had a lot of fun building it.
-
What is the tap line for again and what do you hook it to? I am going to build one but I just don't know what the tap is for.
-
Nice.
Wish the spark gap quench air were not so noisy.
Would the primary coil more efficiently impart energy to the secondary coil if the primary were wrapped UP around the secondary - surronding the secondary like a cylinder?
Thank you.
-
Wow,that's incredible job.
-
i think he calculated it... XD
-
how did you figure out the resonant freq.
-
Awesome, and nice explanation of the capacitors and transformers.
-
What are u up to these days?
-
are you running the voltage from the transforner through the spark gap first and then to the capacitor bank?
was this video made in 1996 and ......please join our youtube tesla coil group and check out my channel while your at it .xp

Yes, 1996. It was my final year at university. I'd forgotten about the video and I found it a little while back so thought I should put it together. Will check out your channel soon.

beautiful. If you make your topload bigger, you should get one, monster arc (longer) rather than multiple shorter ones.

Absolutely re the top load. Unfortunately, at the time, it was what was lying around the lab and I was under time constraints to finish.
I understand the coil is still used at the university for open days. I don't know if they have modified it at all.
