Making a Tesla coil Driver pt 1 - The interrupter

Yes I'm back. After many sunny days delaying me further and further, making it hard to sleep at night and then sapping what little energy I have during the day, the title basically says what the video is about. So I've designed my own Tesla coil circuit but I thought I would start with the interrupter (which is based on one of Steve Ward's circuits), and in the next video I will be doing the high frequency stuff.
I don't know when the next video will be, maybe one day the weather will not be sunny and hot and I'll have the energy and motivation to make one. God I am so depressed, I hate this world. Why was I born? I wish I had never existed. I wish I was young again, I feel like I wasted my whole life here on KZbin.
Honestly I dont know why people say England has rain all the time and very few sunny days, it's the opposite. I live there and all I ever get is SUN. Just sun all the time with very few cloudy or rainy days. I'm sure the sun would even come out at night to piss me off even further if it thought it could. God I HATE SUN! Sun puts me in a terrible mood (as I am right now due to the RELENTLESS sun) and It does NOT co-ordinate with my introverted ways and my quiet creative inner state. Also when it's sunny all the assholes that live round here decide that IT'S PARTY TIME! They think that because the sun is out it's time to be noisy, I'm sure they think "The sun is shining, lets make lots of noise and annoy Cool Dude Clem because the sun is out, he has to have his window open for ventilation so he'll hear us! Let's all yell and scream at the top of our voices to annoy Clem! Let's blast music at top volume to annoy Clem! Let's do lots of noisy DIY to annoy Clem! Let's make the dog bark all day to annoy Clem! I'm gonna breed the most cooing pigeons ever to annoy Clem even MORE! He's such a sad spastic wanker!" This whole world is against me I'm sure it is.

Hello Nice Video my Friend, I am very much looking forward to a second part of the video series. I'm currently building a switching power supply with Tl494, MCP1407, GDT, possibly IGBTs or mosfets and a transformer myself. With 40 V DC in the power part, it works quite ok. Keep up the good work, best regards The senseless channel of Germany

Time is a non-renewable energy, once wasted, there will be no wealth that can recover it. Use it wisely. [I'm waiting for part 2]

They often say time is money.

Hey Clem, good to see you back making TC videos, there was a mistake in the Steve Ward schematic, i doubt Steve made the mistake, it was a mistake introduced by someone else copying and uploading the schematic, anyway i fixed it and published the corrected schematic in styropyro discord server if you want it, we want full power anyway so meh, you should try using a level shifter to feed the bus of your inverter to give you 10ms ramp rather than the 5ms quarter period of half wave rectified 50Hz ..All the best Steve

[@CoolDudeClem]

Thanks, I'd like to see the fixed schematic, even if just to see what was wrong. Do you have a link to it?

Great Idea: Modulate the tesla coil, using the signal from your guitar.

hii Clem I need an Stereo Tape cassette Pre amp circuit coz im Restoring my old Player and It produces lotzz of Hizzing noises Suggest me one

It's shocking you are returning to high voltage. 🙄🙃

[@T2D.SteveArcs]

Hey Barry👍, hope you and yours are well, I agree its really nice to see Clem back at the HV 😃, I'm going to visit him take a few goodies if I ever get well enough.. Steve

[@bblod4896]

@@T2D.SteveArcs Hi Steve, I hope you can make the trip one day, stay well, get strong. Just don't visit him in Summer 😆

i hate HV electric experiments that is lethal😮

HV is lethal dont try this at home😮
