4000W Tesla coil test

http://www.omegalabs.eu/html/nagy_tesla.html
Details:
AC tesla coil desing
rotary spark gap @ 400bps ~ max bps 1333 (asynchron)
homemade rolled poliethylene cap.56nF @ 20kV
sec dia. 7.8' (200mm)
sec. turns 800
power supply: 4 mots in series @ ~ 8kV
Frequency circa 100kHz
Spark lenght 60' = 1,50m
Soon I will tune it for longer sparks

Nagy tesla tekercs, első tesztek egyike. 4 mikrosütőtrafóval megy,

Good job, what is your ballast? If you allow more current (no ballast) and crank your break rate (700-1300 BPS) you should be able to push about 8 feet with that kind of power!

@teslasintern

I have a 6kVA variac for the mots. The BPS I use is around 1000. I know it's capable more sparklenght, but I need a new secondary with better insulated wire, because if I increase the coupling, the wire arcs over.

That is one beautiful machine. Was it very difficult to build? It looks professional. And how do you build a RSG? I've heard that Nikola Tesla was a believer. Is this true?

@Videoman2550

The total price for the parts were around 500$. And + the variac box with a 6kVA and 1kVA variac which I got free.

The whole building took me a half year.

Nice!!! I'm glad I don't live upstairs.

NICE......BUT WHAT IS THE PURPOSE?

[ihp0ts]

If that didnt kill the vermins on the roof, I dunno what will

[Hypocamparis]

lol, was die leute alles so heimlich im keller basteln xD

[xLegiitKnifinz]

@TheFMRage Yes it is

[TheUnTouChAbLeSTaTUs]

OMG this is awesoBOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!! Lol that would be great.

How cool would it be to somehow wire a smaller one inside of you and than be able to shoot lightning out of your hands!

Just cut the powerlines and acsess the hidden 50k volts in there, be safe lol
