How to make a mini Musical Tesla Coil

[@theCodyReeder]

Can I puts in vacuum?

[@jackemled]

+Cody'sLab Yes, but it will make the Tesla Coil mad.

[@hangulka]

Cody'sLab Cody!! you're here! hi there. :)

[@hangulka]

Cody'sLab will it produce x-rays?

[@KeystoneScience]

+Cody'sLab haha hey Cody! And sure why not :D

[@mistirion4929]

youre Video is awesome can you please send me a list of the components of the circuit? i know you said it in the Video but i want to build it by myself and i've already have made a secondary coil but i Need the right components to make it good (if you can send me some that can handle like 10-20 Watts?) It would be a pleasure for me :)

[@Willam_J]

You can make the plasma speaker louder by placing a 45 degree, 3 inch PVC elbow over the end of the coil. It directs the sound better and also increases the low frequency response. Good job on this project!

[@ankanpradhan9724]

It ruins the plasma show

[@flowmastak1]

Really love how you went into greater detail with this build. Awesome stuff!

[@fuzememe7426]

**puts in yard,hears a scream at 2 am,me c:** thanks for the house defense devise

[@braelinlove1514]

I went into video thinking I could do this and then realized you need to be smart to do this. Rip

[@allylilith5605]

Braelin Love yeah i thought aswell that you just stick two wires in a potato and boom you have a musical tesla coil:/

[@chopstick8974]

lol same im not this smart

[@majorboss4098]

Braelin Love lol same

[@stuarthaddox2585]

Y'all can do it, you just need to print out a schematic so you can build it thoroughly and slowly. Also, take some free time to read and learn about some basics of electrical circuit components and physics. Two years ago I didn't know the difference between AC and DC power, and now I've successfully built some pretty powerful solid state tesla coils. If you don't let technical jargon intimidate you, you can absolutely learn how to do this and why it works. Tesla coils may not have real world applications, but building your own is education gold. You also learn to persevere because you'll likely fail a lot, like I did.

[@lowlyworm8510]

Yeah, simple electrical physics should help you understand the technical jargon

[@AbhishekSharma-mf3do]

did he just said zopefully??at 0:22

[@themagicillusions]

So hopefully

[@nabzim]

oh my god, your right... Im so glad you noticed that, because it was hilarious.

[@troywinters8208]

0:04 musical testicle?

[@daniellevin5916]

it's tesla coil

[@milespeterson5049]

Hey, I am confused at 2:21 What mosfet did you use? I can't immediately tell what transistor that is, and you never mentioned what transistor that is either.

[@Sam_Folsom]

Woah! Congrats on 100,000!

[@KeystoneScience]

Thanks man!! :D

[@UXGillespie]

I'm using an AC/DC Adaptor because "I WANT TO ROCK!!!!"

[@TommyCallaway]

Congrats on 100k. You deserve it.

[@combycat]

And you, congrats on 50k :D

[@Vincenttst]

Im to dumb to for this to understand :) *sits in front of his computer screen eating chips* :D

[@lowlyworm8510]

Basically he assembled the first board with a bunch of wires that just link all the electrical things together, the big coil thing helps make the sound for the tesla coil, and the little purple discharge is plasma like lightning but super super tiny and a lil different

[@Sharvil-lr1ff]

Actually that board makes it easier to understand

[@gautampassi3863]

Congratulations for 100k ! Can't wait what you're going to do in future with this channel.

[@rodrigo_dm]

100k subs!!! congrats mate you deserve it. one of thebest channels out there

[@mistirion4929]

you explain everything much easier than great scott

[@electroclau]

congratulations for your 0.1 M Subs !!!!! you're a genius

[@berkakarcaloglu1915]

What were the transistors that you used. I was unable to figure out the first one. But I know that the second one is a ST BD24 3C. And thanks for the Tesla Coil video.

[@tomfrancix235]

this guys a friggin genius...

[@edwardsunnyboy]

can the mosfet be substituted with a BJT signal transistor (like a 2n2222)?

[@UncleKaboom]

Drinking game: Every time he says "and so" you take a shot.

[@werk62]

Uncle Kaboom No thanks, I prefer not to abuse my liver like that lol

[@robclegg1122]

Congratulations on your success! Thanks for all you are doing! Your uncle Rob is proud of you! 100,000+!!!

[@KeystoneScience]

+Rob Clegg thanks!! :D

[@martinkuchar3209]

That is n-channel or p-channel mosfet?

[@gamesnstuff3160]

I understood absolutely none of this

[@ProtoG42]

Congrats on 100k! You blew right past me in no time!

[@KeystoneScience]

+Proto G thanks Proto!!

[@pavphone2616]

What about some destructive testing? E.g. compare a fully charged shortened Lithium ion battery to an empty Li-ion battery.

[@johnoliveri9831]

Congrats on reaching 100k!!

[@connorwilcox146]

What are the models of the transistor and MOSFET?

[@DerpitUpify]

What is the point of the LEDs in this schematic? Are they simply being used to show an off or on state, or are they being used as diodes? I'm wondering if I can omit them and simply make the connections where they are.

[@sagarramchandani3139]

am thinking they act like diodes, either way using diodes or led's will be safer.

[@devanallesside]

congrats on 100k

[@wf1218]

I am very interested in permanent magnet generator, would you ever considered a project like that?

[@Teth47]

Just to clarify, are we talking about a generator that uses nothing but magnets to turn, or a generator that uses permanent magnets instead of a field winding?

[@wf1218]

Teth47 the second option.

[@Teth47]

Cool. Lots of crap out there. If you want a good tip, get yourself a brushless DC motor from Hobbyking, you can get 300+W motors for $10-100US depending on how much power you want. Building generators is hard, you have to make all kinds of close fitting parts to get a usable device. A brushless DC motor is just a 3 phase AC motor, wire up a bridge rectifier like this upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/67/6_pulse_bridge_without_inductance.png/300px-6_pulse_bridge_without_inductance.png Then add a smoothing capacitor, spin the motor at its KV rating times the voltage you want (Lower is better, less gearing needed, you can use RC car parts, select an appropriate gear ratio for whatever you're driving it with, so that the motor spins fast enough to generate the voltage you want. For example, a 1000kv motor that runs at 12V would need to be spun at 1000*12=12,000RPM to get 12V out of it), and out comes nice, clean DC.

[@two_number_nines]

get car alternator and replace the rotor coil with speaker magnets

[@Falltangle]

premature congratulations to 100,000 subs!!

[@Applehackchanel]

You just hit 100k wooo

[@tomosaki4310]

Oh i tried to build it but its not working. I wound bigger coil than yours(20 cm X 5 cm), i am using irfp250n as my mosfet and same transistor as you. I couldnt find ceramic capacitor so im using same value polyestern cap. i tried switching primary connections but still nothing. I placed 50 kohm pot in place of that resistor and tried a bunch of different resistances but still nothing. I am using computer power supplie to power it, although when i connect it the led that is connected the the bottom of coil starts to glow for some reason. It even glows when + is not connected only -. Could you help me? i doublechecked every conection dont really know what to do

[@justin_hanson5750]

he is the only guy i know who uses a fountain pen

[@Plasma.Prince]

So what is the difference between your Musical Tesla Coil and this Musical Tesla Coil: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3KZdoykp92Ah80

[@Headbutter-Lettuce90]

The diference is that his tesla coil is a slayer exciter with audio modulation and the other from OneTesla is a Dual Resonant SolidState Tesla Coil

[@joebailey547]

100k subs!!!!!!!!! well done you deserve it👍

[@puddin_orc]

Awesome! You were recommended by the backyard scientist, and I see Cody found you too! Great video, now I want to make one

[@kamiyoshida5524]

congrats for 100K subscribers

[@somerandomninja4027]

Congrats on 100k :D

[@KeystoneScience]

+SomeRandomNinja thank you! :D

[@somerandomninja4027]

Keystone Science Thanks for replying

[@KeystoneScience]

+SomeRandomNinja no problem, thanks for commenting !! ( sorry it took 3 days :P )

[@somerandomninja4027]

Keystone Science It's k R u gonna do anything special for 100K subs?? Thx again for replying xD

[@electrochem8819]

I was just high school when I first saw this video, I don't understand anything on the schematic diagram lol, now that I'm in college this circuit is actually simple to understand

[@FuddahMukkah]

Hello Keystone Science, I really like your videos as they're informative and creatively entertaining. I'm interested in figuring out how to understand components and circuitry and wondered if you have any useful resources related to learning more about components and how they interact with each other as I am looking to figure out how to not only better understand the makeup of circuitry but also how to troubleshoot issues when they arise (eg: component testing and diagnostics). My primary interaction with circuitry in general is as a PC Troubleshooter and diagnostician mostly focusing in software and general hardware failure but feel that a deeper understanding of electrical components would greatly broaden my capabilities and proffer a broader scope of usefulness in my field. Thanks for any time you give, and thanks for the cool videos. Cheers!

[@justryingmybest]

I know this is grave posting, but I hope you are doing well and that you have learned much in terms of electronics components! I think reddit is the better platform for questions and discussions like this

[@brotherpanda3626]

hold the fuck up.... this man is using a fountain pen to explain his diagrams..... i aint fancy enough for this shit.

[@AdityaSharma-mt6yt]

isn't it a slayer exiter or high frequency ossilator

Yep.. it’s not a spark gap Tesla coil. Slayer exciter circuit

[@nitleshify]

Hi, please put up a video for a pulse circuit turning turning on & off lights at various frequencies as in flicking lights.

[@Jimmeh_B]

555 timer IC

[@angelgonzalezclariot5150]

@KeystonScience i need your help, i want to do a bigger musical Tesla coil, with bigger arcs and with 15Kv but I'm not sure of the diagram, and I don't know what resistance and capacitor i need to use for the project. Can you help me please? :)

[@jesussaves2934]

On the mini musical Tesla coil, they say change out the 1UF transistor to improve the Bass. Can I add a 10000UF transistor?

[@jonik6225]

100k subs!!!!

[@KeystoneScience]

:D !!!

[@UXGillespie]

That moment when you realize that you will never ever be as smart as the guy you're watching.

[@ianfarid6083]

could you switch out the mosfet with a high current transistor

[@roccocroce]

Fantastic ! Great explanation and layout. Subbed!!

[@KeystoneScience]

+Rocco Croce thank you!

[@roccocroce]

+Keystone Science yeah man! There's no BS or time wasting to your videos. It's intellectual DIY porn for sure. Thanks for the content. I look forward to more material!

[@Then_p]

Can I use this with a zvs driver to make to make a fly back transformer sing?

[@dj5quar3]

I love your content so much! Thank you for being awesome!

[@MegaRocketPenguin]

Where can the schematic be found?

[@mr.zimbel]

I plan on using an AC/DC too, but can I play music by other bands with my coil?

[@jezeem99]

Can i make it in large scale ? What will be the safty measures and other add ups to the circuit

[@uprightdoublebass]

i love this channel

[@mitchellwalther3656]

perfect example of why you only have 141,000 subscribers

[@uckBayNguyen]

your videos are a treat. mesmerizing how you craft your projects together.

[@KeystoneScience]

+uckBay Nguyen thank you! :)

[@daveyjones5702]

lol both that schematic and that 2nd coil seem very reminiscent of the musical tesla coil kit u can buy off ebay :P

[@Wolf-yp2qk]

Hey, I really need some help with the circuit, I have connected everything up properly, but there are no sparks coming out, and the LED connected to the secondary will not light up. I am using an IRFP250 mosfet, with a 2SC3320 transistor.

[@ender_coder2007]

Yo have you found a fix for it?

[@Locksley3D]

are there any more troubleshooting steps cause i ahve been stuck building this for the past week and cant get it to work

[@droptopsalvador1864]

oh wow. i think i started watching when you were under 5k subscribers O.o Nice job!

[@acmdq2007]

The schematic does not make any sense. The LED in series with the secondary coil is to be connected from ground to the base of the transistor. The 1 uF capacitor and the audio input must be in the other side of the primary coil. The 10k resistor shall go to the base of the transistor, and the 2k (?) resistor to the LED. The LED can't be in parallel with the BE junction.

[@Headbutter-Lettuce90]

Otra vez tu cagando el palo?

[@tirdadnickchi5210]

Would this work with any input signal with arbitrary frequency via function generator? essentially amplifying the function generator signal

[@calcoin4199]

What frequency does the tesla coil modulate the audio with

[@frederiksson4900]

Thank you for using metric system👍🏻

[@LawrenceDuffy477]

Dude you are....AWESOME !!!!!!!!!

[@edg6779]

seen my transistors get extremley hot (even with 3x4cm heatsinks) should I add a fan?

[@KeystoneScience]

+EDG yeah probably

[@ThomySTB]

Love the video's man!

[@oliver1834]

excuse me where you grounded or isolated when touching the tesla coil

[@sadderwhiskeymann]

Two questions: I have a couple of spare power transistors so.. what needs to be done to replace the mosfet? Why don't you play a super popular song to hear how it sounds like? Why? Edit: good vid btw!! Thank you!

[@Hector01624]

Why did you use parallel resistors with much difference 10k and 2k why please explain bro! i think it will be 1.few k ohms ?

[@jdough8416]

Nice videos.Slayer exciters are usually fussy about which leds you use.Have you tried different types of LEDs or have you only tried with the LEDs which came with the eBay kit?Thx

[@cemkaradag6258]

what is the transistors type and are you connecting your phone to it?

[@dolphinboi-playmonsterranc9668]

Are Tesla coils really the miracle power solution? I hope so. I just want something that looks cool.

[@ankanpradhan9724]

Can I replace the electrolytic capacitor with a ceramic one?

[@mrfryboy101]

Could you make a video on how to create a static electricity motor that is powered by atmospheric energy perhaps?

[@animatrix1490]

I am having the weirdest time watching this video. You seem American, but for some reason my brain is reading "Irish or other UK accent" into your voice and it's like an out of body experience

[@freelonewolf23]

I like your pilot metropolitan, I'm getting one today.

[@dhruvvyas6347]

if you want to run this circuit on just Irfp260n and transistor then how can we use it because in this circuit you have used two transistors

[@icarus1387]

Can i use any kind of transistor and mosfet to build this thing??

[@kamalcampbell2186]

am i the only one that has no idea wat dudes talkin about but its cool af

[@maxst8831]

In future will you be making a larger scale musical tesla coil, with similar sizing to the one you always have in your background?

[@beppe3001]

won't be more efficent an "half bridge" inverter to controll the primary coil of the trasformer? I think the flyback is a good circuit to start with, but keep in mind just for starting ;) by the way good project!

[@speedking9751]

This is what you used to start the fire?

[@sonicycles]

can you build a Tesla magnifying transmitter?

[@mmmk1414]

what does the capacitor parallel with the transistor does? the other one is dc filter right ?

[@carburetedseltzer120]

Why is it that the small one like this one have such small arcs unlike the one bouge from onetesla? Is there a way to make a good small musicao tesla coil?

[@Ankh_Hippy]

You think it’s possible to absorb energy from a Tesla coil?

[@milogonzalez1334]

you should build teslas flying saucer

[@vilemberanek4448]

What exact types are those tranzistors? And what's their multiplication ratio?

[@hmm2645]

hey, +KeystoneScience is it okay if I use enamelled aluminium instead of copper for the secondary? 37 AWG 1300 turns? (for a slayer exciter, non musical)

[@timwatz2948]

you should do a video about how to build a small particle accelerator (with magnets).

[@dhruvvyas6347]

am i just have to change the MOSFET and keep the BD243c transistor same

[@jed826]

why have two resistors in parallel? why not just use a single 1.6kohm resistor?

[@revannathsutar6157]

Which component should be use

[@thesuperfryingpan8164]

7:30 my ear just got ripped

[@silvadeen1146]

you are absolutely amazing!!!

[@tartsitter1562]

At least someone smart lives in Pennsylvania

[@Origamiztec]

Awesome video. Comment back if you want me to 3D print you a casing instead of melting a hole in scrap bowls for your projects! Lmao

[@treegasmicthearborist5763]

nice video! have you ever thought of making any vacuum tube videos?
