opk so lets see some pictures and instructions on making them, personaly I'd love to try something like this just for fun (keeping it far away from computers etc.) but don't really know how to and don't want to do damage

Tesla coils...
Will be good to post our Tesla projects...do you think so?
I will start my self...
I have done many, but I have now 2:
a 230 KV over 100 khz one...I enjoy this one getting shot in my back...it relax me...
and a smaller +/- 100 KV at 80 khz, I enjoy this one when I want to noise all the area tv's , because I can variate the freq of the osc.....
Will like to build a huge for a mega volt, but for sure the sparks will go out of my roof, it will nedd to be outdoors, and will be noisy , mean very noisy...means trouble...police , etc....
tell me yours!!!

tesla coils
Well, is not the idea to ask how to do it, any way is good to tell how to do them....first, i sugest to understand what you will build...a tesla coils are high voltage low current and high frequency toys, as the frequency is very high, it dont hurt as like the 50 or 60 hz...but there is some dangers too...the easyest way to do one is with a flyback transformer from a old tv...but the easy to understand and build from scratch will be better to start, I sugest this web to start:

I have a few more details on my website

I dont know about you, but I definitly wouldn't want to take any chances by getting hit with an arc.as the frequency is very high, it dont hurt as like the 50 or 60 hz0Jeff
To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

I dont have one yet...http://www.personal.psu.edu/jrz126/i...ltc/22inch.jpg I'm only able to get 22-28" sparks with my current powersupply. Thats a 4' flourescent tube glowing in the top of the pic.
I'm working on a SCR supply right now. I'm on spring break right now, so I should be able to finish it up shortly. Plus I kinda have to wait until it gets alittle warmer out. My garage isn't big enough.0Jeff

That is a nice model, any idea what voltage are you getting in the out? and freq you tuned it? it is very high diameter for the secondary..like 6 or 8 inches righ? any way , 22 to 28 inches is very good...also very noisy...try blowing some argon gas over the toroid..jejejeje
A great One!0
