DIY SEE-THROUGH Tesla Coil ( Portable & Museum Quality)

[@PlasmaChannel]

QUICK NOTE: I mentioned the one hand rule for all those new to electricity, or, those unsure about what part of this coil may be safe to touch. Ironically, I used two hands right away. I did this only for cinematic effect - I do not recommend using two hands, ever, unless you are very familiar with your device (like I was). One hand rule at all times, I just did it for effect!

I have already begun a design of my smallest Tesla coil I've ever built, I believe Jay has see it, it will be an audio modulated version of this coil here except about 1/4 of the size. It will use an external driver for high power usage but with an integrated driver (Full Bridge for the external and Integrated drivers) that's in the base similar to his. I absolutely love the quality and effort put in to not only your high voltage work to make it amazing in appearance but also the quality of your videos!

[@nigel-matthews]

Wow that's beautiful! You are a master with acrylic. You've definitely gotten me hooked on brass hardware. Can't wait to try this build. I still have some of those capacitors from the 3 volt Tesla coil project. Thanks for making this video Jay.

[@PlasmaChannel]

Hey Nigel, you're quickly becoming my most reliable commenter! Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed the video. Acrylic can really be a pain to work with sometimes. Even when you're gluing the edges, they can experience "crazing", which is chemically induced cracking. I got lucky and didnt have much of it. You can use the capacitors from the 3 volt coil, however, you'll need many more of them in parallel since the caps from that build are lower capacitance. Try to find the 10nf (0.01uF), 3kv polyproylene caps on mouser. Also, I had occasional sparking between the primary and secondary coil when using it on medium or high power. To solve this, wrap thick plastic between the two coils (try not to scratch the secondary windings when doing so). Cheers!

[@nigel-matthews]

I'm always excited to see them as soon as you release them. Thanks for making them available early through patreon. (I'm not happy with patreon - there's a glitch they refuse to fix.)

[@Slowly_Going_Mad]

Amazing video as always. That was a beautiful coil build and even more amazing was the fact that it gets 3'' arcs from just 35 watts of power.

[@PlasmaChannel]

Thanks M.S. Yeah, I was really pleased with the result. I took my time calculating the resonant frequencies prior to building, and I think it paid off. I wish I designed the secondary/primary spacing a bit more safely though - I occasionally get sparks between the two coils.

[@Slowly_Going_Mad]

@@PlasmaChannel I got to thinking about it the spark gap could be slightly improved with one sharp electrode to reduce breakdown voltage and increase efficiency (i.e. box razor, piece of hacksaw blade.) I would also try to reduce primary inductance a bit and make up for resonance with the cap bank. Nonetheless this is one of the most quality homebrew sets I have ever seen.

Love your grounding. The same concepts can be applied to receive remote power. It's the basis that Tesla was working with when he wanted to charge things remotely. Wide plate for grounding and an antenna on the other end. As a charge seeks to establish equilibrium on the larger plate there is going to be a little back and forth with the coil and remote electric source.

Awesome Jason, a totally love it. Clean lines and awesome output, really have to build this now, and put my spin on it, and luckily i will have spare acrylic after this Wimshurst build is done. not surprised by the ending though, acrylic glue is not really a structural join, more a chemical one. by stepping the acrylic rods and socketing them into the disks then gluing you would have a way more secure structural bond that should handle the load.

[@PlasmaChannel]

Hey Noel, yeah i've been seeing your Winschurt built on IG. I think IG? Anyways, your build is looking great.

If I ever have the time, I’ll make this. I was actually going to build a large one years ago, but couldn’t justify the time and cost. Priorities. Whenever I have worked with acrylic, especially if it’s thin, I would run my drill bits in reverse to prevent splitting. Then I’d take a torch and gently and mildly heat the cut edges to smooth out and remove any micro-fractures that could lead to splitting. Kind of like melting the end of a cut polyester string/rope. Just less melting.

[@CaptainCandycorn]

Another way to drill acrylic or any soft material is to take a file and purposefully dull the edges on the drill bit.

I recently found that there are drill bits specifically for acrylic. Bought some, and they drill like butter. Gluing acrylic still sucks massive butt though.

I've thought about an all inclusive build using nothing but native materials from the ground.

[@soulrobotics]

another thing. the oscillation is made by the feedback coil. then the 3055 saturate and become conductive to ground the primary coil. I think that the circuit can be change not using the feedback coil at all,... or perhaps in a more complex project can be used as a zero crossing sensor. Once you have a variable oscillator you can experiment the coil behavior,... which would be interesting. Once you have some awesome freqs, you can modulate the amplitude with an amplifier, or perhaps a pwm to make a FM device... yes you can put some sound on the coil. I want to thank you for this channel which is an inspiration.
