How to make a tiny Tesla coil

[@ngoweyseong3738]

I like the way u secured the pvc bobbin with 2pcs of half moon plastic. Nice!!!

[@TechIdeasAG]

Thank you

[@aplacetoimproveteslacoilin3721]

When most people think of a Tesla coil, they imagine a large, imposing object with sparks flying everywhere. However, it is possible to make a tiny Tesla coil that is just a few inches tall. This coil can be powered by a small battery and can produce millions of volts. The key to making a tiny Tesla coil is to use a high-voltage capacitor. This capacitor will store the energy that is produced by the battery and release it in short bursts. The secondary coil of the Tesla coil should have a very large number of turns, as this will increase the voltage output. The final step is to create an ignition system. This system will create an arc between the two coils and will generate the sparks that everyone loves to see. By following these simple steps, you can create your own tiny Tesla coil that packs a powerful punch. Theoretically yes!

[@harms123]

You're not gonna be making million-volt arcs with batteries.

[@milespeterson5049]

I need help my tesla coil is not working! I smell burning!

[@harms123]

Sure if you have some massive fuckoff lipo you can but that's about the only exception

[@ankanpradhan9724]

But more the no. of turns in the secondary coil the mosfet will get hotter and hotter (not sexy hot). So I suggest to use a high power mosfet like irfp260n or, even better irfp460n

[@harms123]

@@ankanpradhan9724 wot?

[@soriatel]

at what frequency does it resonate?

[@rupeshpatil5568]

Work better with IRF540 MOSFET because it has a higher switching frequency

[@hpvide]

Can I use 44

[@hungdpiqn]

do you know every coil have they own resonance frequency

[@harms123]

It also has a higher on resistance, which means you generate more heat. You don't need fast switching if the resonance frequency of the secondary is low enough.

[@milespeterson5049]

Oh interesting. I was going to order the one in the video but are you sure it will work with IRF540? did you test it out for yourself?

[@milespeterson5049]

@Smaxi botYeah I will just order a 450v capacitor. on the internet along with the IRFz44n Transistor.

[@mike289homebuilt5]

Miles. One I built/ Ludic Science/ Triple Primary Slayer Exciter . I only used one transistor and Two medium Led (backwards) as substitute for diodes. Any of these slayers substitute 1/2 watt potentiometer for the Resistor that way you can turn the power up mount a Cfl on top of the secondary pop bottle plastic. The Mosfet circuit one is better but they both work.

I got the same transistor the resistors and even the same capacitor, but every time I fire up the circuit I get no output from the tesla coil, and If I turn the potentiometer, I start smelling a burring smell, no smoke but not good for my components. why is it doing this? and how to fix it?

[@milespeterson5049]

Does anyone think that a electrolytic capacitor might blow up easily? I do not feel confident buying a $10 capacitor and it blows up. So should I get a film capacitor instead?

[@adityasudershan9629]

Yes electrolytic capacitors can't handle that High frequency so using a film capacitor is better!

[@aplacetoimproveteslacoilin3721]

Replacing the spark gap with transistors IRF540 and 2n2222 makes Tesla coil smaller, more efficient and easier to build. The transistor acts as a switch to turn the current on and off in the primary coil. This just resonant nature of Tesla coil creates high voltage and frequency which is used to create sparks.
