Building Spark Gap Tesla Coil pt. 4 - Secondary

[@lakiza55]

The sheer amount of information and dedication in each of you video is amazing. It's thanks to people like you that hobby electronics and diy repair will never die. No amout of warning or warranty stickers will ever stop me from opening an electrical decive to analyze it or repair it. Stay safe friend, hope you have enough fire extinguishers stashed for quarantine :)

It's one of the best video I have watched. 555 timer and led to measure the resonance frequency is just awesome. You have so much knowledge and experience, you must have really studied hard. Every minute details are been taken into consideration. Keep up the good work. Thank you for the video.

[@johnconrad5487]

Thanks for making this video. I have been following all your visdeos. You and electgroboom make some of the most interesting videos. This is the second time I am watching your video. This time one year later. shows how much I enjoy watching your videos. :) if you have 1000 Turns and the output is 50KV then the voltage per turn is only 50 Volts/turn so crossing one or two turns will not affect the design. The voltage breakdown is the distance between the output point of the coil and the one on the stick you use to trigger the arc. After that the air gets ionized and forms a plasma which has a very much lower breakdown and a high current. Due to this high current the long TC should have a heavier thickness wire so it does not heat up due to I^2xRes of the wire.

Fantastic tip on tuning the secondary. The first coil i built in the 1970's was a failure as I had no idea how to tune the primary to the secondary so it was massively out of tune. It ran off a 500 watt neon sign transformer.

[@esecallum]

HI Everybody. I was wondering if a plasma ball could be used to disable the corona virus inside the lungs simply by holding a plasma ball/tesla coil near the lung/chest area front and back as the field seems to exist quite a distance. Viruses are quite fragile and a strong em field could disable it's reproductive ability and the body could clear it like any other infection....

[@inductivelycoupledplasma6207]

No, electric fields don’t penetrate the body

[@simont3686]

When I was little I tried to put a lot of aluminium foil onto my plasma ball as a top load, to try to make it more powerful. Needless to say it didn't work. But at least I got the spirit. Now i know better :)

[@redoverdrivetheunstoppable4637]

[@juntendo6104]

you can also use slayer exciter to find resonant frequency too

[@mysock351C]

Good point about corona from the coil. That will happen even without insulation breakdown just from capacitive coupling. Seen that on high output automotive ignitions. The spark plug wires and coil will have lots of small arcs and corona, even though the insulation is intact from the capacitive coupling to the outside world. Doesn't seem to impact reliability, but it is unnerving on cars with computer controlled engines since the corona can potentially destroy an I/O or even the CPU/flash if it gets into the wire harness.

[@rtyzxc]

I thought "corona discharges" were a joke for the corona virus, but it isn't after all?

[@PierAisa]

Very nice my friend I suggest to you to insert the Tesla coil into a box with coating and Leave It for some hours. The best top load is toroidal one, Trust me.

[@oskarpolanski3152]

[@johnfrank6302]

Great info, thanks for all the details on this great project. Do you have any good technical references to learn more about this?

[@drobotk]

That circuit you used to find the resonant frequency totally blew my mind! How does it work? Can you please explain it in the next episode? I have never seen such a circuit before. I have used slayer exciters but they have a primary coil and this one doesn't have one? Very interesting. Good work Danyk, keep it up.

[@crazyksp8344]

Yeah i really don't know how it works.

[@danimaster6647]

I suspect: For example crystal oscillators produce very clean AC voltage but they require a circuit which matches their frequency. This here is similar since you produce an AC voltage with a certain frequency with the 555 timer which you can control over a potentiometer. This voltage is connected to your resonance circuit which consists of the inductor (tesla coil secundary) and a capacitor (actually the capacitance between the tesla coil top and ground). Notice that the leds aren't conncected to ground so normally very little current flows. However the amount of current which flows maxes when the frequency of the 555 timer matches with the resonance frequency and that is why the leds glow since they are brighter the higher the current is.

[@saschakolb7102]

It's about the functionality of a dip meter, radio amateurs are using sometimes. The difference is just the direct connection.

[@juntendo6104]

i tried coating secondary with Varnish using paint brush but theres thick and thin spots.
