Thanks Mehdi, she’s a beaut. I’ve put hours of play / filming into her since the video was released, and she just keeps ticking. I apparently don’t have fingerprints anymore 🤌. Next week, I have a phantom camera coming - will be filming those arcs at 18,000 FPS.

Hi Mehdi brother , I'm surprised to see you. I'm watching your videos. I have different projects for example transistor that doesn't heat up... but I don't have the means to do them. As far as I can see, people don't bother to do something new.

Thomas, thanks so much! I love hearing how my videos affect viewers. Give an SSTC a try -Just be careful.

[@ajay6225]

Was it working?

[@tparks]

@@ajay6225 Yeaup, could get a 1 ft arc out of it. I used a 15kv 60hz neon sign transformer as the source, which fed into some small copper tubing that I used as the primary. Used a lot of magnet wire wrapped around a PVC pipe as the secondary. For the toroid, I used a couple aluminum pie plates back to back with flexible dryer vent around the outside. Then wrapped all of that in aluminum tape. I used 5 or so short pieces of larger copper tubing on a flexible platform as the spark gap. I don't remember the capacitors I ended up using, but definitely remember popping a few doorknob caps in the process. Man those things smell! Also forgot to bleed the charge from those caps once and that hurt pretty good! Only did that once though!! 😁

[@aplacetoimproveteslacoilin3721]

Tesla coil technology has been around for over a hundred years, and the basic design has not changed much. However, a new way to use IGBT transistors to replace the spark gap has made it possible to build a Tesla coil that can generate free energy. The traditional way of building a Tesla coil is to use a spark gap to create the sparks that flow through the coil. This approach is no longer necessary with IGBT transistors. By using IGBT transistors, it is now possible to create a Tesla coil that can generate more than enough energy to power itself. This new approach to building a Tesla coil has the potential to change everything. With this new design, it is now possible to build a Tesla coil that can generate free energy.

I built my first when I was 12 but it only made 5mm arcs.

One of my favorite videos of yours! I’ve been building SSTCs and DRSSTCs for almost 8 years and my journeys in electrical engineering and physics are similar to yours and I’ve loved your videos from the very first one. So I’ve been waiting a long time for you to do a video showing the experience of building an SSTC, the highs and lows, joys and pains, ecstasy and pure hellish torture. I’ve built 14 coils now and your vid hit the experience perfectly (hit it right on the head with a bloody hammer), the pure madness and frustration of blowing up dozens of pricey components for weeks on end and the indescribable elation of getting those beautiful arcs at last, you got me fired up to build another! Thank you so much Jay for the beautiful and inspiring productions that just keep getting better and better.

He had a few of them and we bartered over basically beer money. Twenty bucks for one with the ground fault, and fifty for the bigger one without. It was there because someone called to get their sign serviced and the guy found the problem was an over cooked, fried crow that must have landed on the wrong spot! It was still cooking it! No wonder why their sign would only flicker! He put a different one with ground fault in there and said it was all fixed. I saw the picture of the fried crow!

[@PlasmaChannel]

I tend to agree :P

[@RussLinzmeier]

In my research I've found that Tesla did not use alternating current in his magnifying transformers but used high voltage DC from a generator that was pulsed using magnetic arc disrupter devices . He was using one way , non reversing high voltage DC impulses to power the primaries of his coils .

My heart will always long for a good SGTC!

[@bpark10001]

Instead of using transformer to drive IGBTs, use any of the ICs specifically for the purpose, such as IR2110. IC has controls to prevent cross-conduction of the IBGTs & weak drive due to low supply voltage. These ICs can handle driving bridge of IBGTs or FETs from up to 600V bus.

i thought that too and went that route, but nothing beats GDT.

[@dr.moonlightpresents3353]

I am embarrassed to admit that I’ve never thought to wind pancake coils like that. Looks beautiful! Might try this out myself- Have an idea for a magnifier coil config that uses 3/4 pancakes stacked on one another, separated by poly acrylic- But I’m worried that I need actual bushings or better insulators to prevent them from zapping each other! Love the design. Keep up the great work!

The drill winding method works well, but it's REALLY hard to keep the coil winding symmetrically about the center. You'd think the opposite, but it takes constant checking, adjusting, and intentional input. Give it a try!

If overdriving the gates of these transistors is an issue you encounter regularly - consider using a zener diode at the gate to limit the voltage. Find a zener with a breakdown voltage at the highest voltage you want the gate to every encounter & wire the zener to create a safety bleed to ground whenever it encounters voltage that meets or exceeds it's spec. Cheap safety valve.
