Im an acrylic fabricator located in washington state, if you are interested in building any more complicated acrylic designs or need something fabricated feel free to contact me. I think these things are amazing and I'd love to work on one and learn more about them. until now i didnt event consider using acrylic to make one! this thing is awesom man props
This is the BEST BY FAR video I've seen on Tesla coils. Including all the design details, inductance values, capacitance values, winding details, etc. FANTASTIC.
Congratulations! Your workmanship and film making are excellent. I liked the use of hand drawings and handwritten formulae to explain details. Anybody who wants the actual information just has to pause the video. Very clever!
that was the most impressive thing i have ever seen a single person construct. The part where you wrapped the copper wire looked like it took way more patience than i have.
Extremely nice build! You made it for me when you gave credit were deserved. To our all powerful almighty God! Keep up the great work! Common sense clearly shows every creation has a creator! So sad so many would rather believe something as stupid as we came from pond scum! God bless!
A work of art! Absolutely beautiful. The white glow from the bottom, the streamers and the materials, everything is amazing. It brought tears to my eyes, I'm not joking. I'm very impressed, good work!
You can further tune the coil by applying power to the primary via a wire with alligator clip. Move it around until you get the biggest sparks. I found that less turns (and greater separation between the turns) on the primary than you have gave me better results. Also, are those metal screws in the base plastic? It is best to eliminate all metal (except the wire) from construction. My first coil did not work due to that. I found out by viewing in the dark, mini sparks everywhere to all nails!
I think that's amazing ... and those people asking what practical use it has ... you would be living in the stone age if there would't have been people being curious and amazed about these things.
The earth strike ring probably doesnt influence the output performance of the coil. It is just placed to prevent the high voltage from entering your primary system as it might damage the components.
I hope you realized by now, that your schematic representation for a variac is incorrect. A variac is an autotransformer; it does not have two (isolated) windings. Besides that... Awesome, awesome coil!!! It's incredible that you used so much power with such a small coil! I am surprised I hadn't seen your coil before!
triple mot stacks? or 2 mots and a choke? i have a huge 8 inches triple mot stack tesla coil, but i work in AC, 180cm sparks (peak) someting like 150cm continous really incredible video man! loved this tiny and POWERFUL coil!
What did you use as your power supply? I want to build one similar to yours for science demonstrations in my class but ive had alot of trouble making ones smaller than this. Was there a set of directions/guide that you followed?
I wonder if theres a limit to how small such a device could be. It would be amazing seeing a cute, seemingly innocuous two inch model kicking out lightning!
By the way, this guy is getting great results with this coil, probably due to the solid state power supply. But you can also get fantastic results going the old school way like Tesla did with a transformer (used to light neon lights), home made capacitors (using plastic and aluminum foil), and a spark gap. All very simple an potentially free except the foil.
It's... beautiful... So, please correct me if I am wrong, but is all of your coiling of wires is merely the creation of a transformer? Also, how did you transfer the charge to the conductive dome at the top?
The pressure of the atmosphere is a constant, but basically what you're talking about is wind power... the electricity created from a hydroelectric dam is created by upping the overall pressure, controlling the amount of water flow, and giving it a direction. After that it's just some turbines being spun by the water and some magnets converting it all to electricity. That doesn't really have anything to do with ZPE, though...
dear 3jrhall i must admit i know very little about science but i want to find out about good energy alternatives and help them to find theire way to the public, so we wont have to relie on the electricitty compagnies no more. would you please tell me more about the potential of steam turbines? could they be used independantly in a household to power washing machines ect? and if so would that be more enviromental friendly than the resources we presently use?
I freaking love this vid, but does the coil heat up the acrylic to a point where it melts because it's beautiful and I would hate to try this out just to find out that its going to get ruined at the end
If the wire is grounded then you would feel nothing, but how much fun would that be? The idea is to show others that you can "touch" and withstand a spark shooting out several inches. Essentially, your body becomes the ground (holding onto that wrench); that's the way it works when you are dealing with high frequency high voltage. It takes a bit of time and thought to build one, but they are lots of fun to play with. And can be very cheap, almost free, if you don't use the solid state stuff.
Mr. Commander sir, do you think this would work retalitivly the same on a 1/2 scale, or just winding the secondary on a 1/2",3/4" or 1" coil form and moving the primary closer to keep the same 15mm space closest to secondary? very nice looking coil, Im trying to make one similar on a smaller scale and power it with a 7.5kv 30ma nst. Your comments, advice, and response would be greatly appreaciated sir thank you. Dont stop now man your on a roll!
I dont think there is any healing on antigravidy functions for the tesla coil. My question was if it is actually used somewhere in the industry or anywhere else. Btw I think (im not sure) that tesla coil is not actually wireless. I creates a high voltage ionizing the air and then it decreases the voltage again but it uses the ionized air as a medium to travel through Please correct me if Im wrong
Beautiful little coil. Do you have any details on your winding machine? I'm coming up real quick on needing to wind several air coils (oscillator coils for an analog theremin!), a couple probably about the size of yours. I have a sewing machine I'm in the process of dismantling and am trying to figure out the most effective way of utilizing the parts.
what do you think of the theory of this devise being used in reverse? taking power from the atmosphere and creating power? I would guess that you would have to build a very large one to do this?
traditional tesla coil is called the Spark Gap Tesla Coil, or the SGTC. In a SGTC, there is a HV transformer of at least over or around 5000v in 30 milliamps (these transformers woud be Neon Sign Transformers), then the current form the transformer is sent to a capacitor, where the current builds up to a higher voltage and is released to any ghetto spark gap, which then is connected to the big coil (primary), which the current is wirelessly transfered to the secondary coil
I thought that higher voltage meant longer streamers, is this right? I just thought that a 380 000 Volt transformer would generate much larger streamers than 57cm. I was also wondering what you do for work? Surely something in the field of physics, electricity or science, I was just wondering...
@TeslaCommander For your primary winding, did you use solid copper wire or braided wire? I cannot seem to find any solid copper wire that thick. If you did use solid wire, could you please tell me what supplier you used?
Hi What thickness of the plexiglass you used. Where did you get the wire for the primary coil ago. I'm German and I have this translated using the Google translator. A really good Tesla coil. Would be nice if you answer.
You neglected to mention that I said it's not exactly AC, but still the same principle. I understand that most things that have any sort of data processing in them use DC, but they also have a a switching signal element to them (music, video, etc.)
Hi there Tesla commander can you please tell me the parts list for this coil I really like it and want to make a similar one and could I use wood instead acrill thx for the great video!
High voltage is still high voltage, no matter what medium carries it. It would be possible, but you'd have to have a ridiculously good insulator between the two windings (which varies the relative permeability). Besides that, the electrical properties would be pretty unpredictable with the coupling coefficient high at the bottom, low at the top, and then high and low again for the second winding. The coil inducing a current within itself such as an autotransformer would pose another variable.
Not to b e a spoil-sport, but which one of these contraptions could one use to run a small home with? I'm not an electrician, so I'm not up on all the specifics. I have been thinking about using solar panals, I know the price has dropped quite a bit in the last couple of years. TIA SCF
One option that I have used and worked very well, is copper water lines you can get from the hardware store. And by being a hollow tubing it actually would be good for skin effect.
is thatlightning safe to touch of a device that size? i mean not any patrst of the actual device, just lightning? or must you be covered in something or behind metal frame/glass cover?
hi, nice construction. i've got a question. how to determinate a self resonance frequency of the secondary coil if i know only the inductance? i have not find the formula in your exsersise book. do i have to know the frequency to use to determinate the self capacitance? thank you and sorry for my english
I always wondered, since the wire is so tightly wound up and its sides are in contact with each other, why does it still act as a winding and not a straight, tube-shaped conductor?
how much did it cost to built, acrilic tubing, cooper and power supply? is there any place cheap where u can buy reliable material, like Deal Extreme or so? what is needed to connect it to a piano or so, another power suply, AC?
i wonder if the old ora photo's the cameras they used to show energy of plants and animals ever been used to image a tesla coil to see if energy being sent out all around or just the paths it takes in the bolts
where can i get the large amount of magnet wire used in the coil? i know radio shack sells magnet wire but not in large enough quantities, I'm looking to make a Tesla coil over the summer. your help would be much appreciated.
@DreamPharaoh At resonance at high frequencies this is not a problem. In fact, at high frequencies you need to watch the capacitance between the primary and secondary.
I just built a coil and fired it up about 4 days ago. My secondary is 6.625" diameter and 37" tall. Top load is 6"dryer tube and total dia is 33". Using 2- 15k 30 ma nst. I am using a terry filter. And safety gap. I have mmc with capacitance of 17.3nF. I have 2 spark gaps set at .25" (total of .5"). Not air cooled. My primary is 22 turns and I'm tapped in at turn 17. I have a 4' grounding rod in the ground that is grounding everything. I have 2 problems. 1st problem, when I turn on the tesla coil the water pipe that comes into my house vibrate (it maybe the sprinkler system pipe, it runs parallel to my main water pipe). I have a sprinkler system that have pvc pipes that run all through out my yard. I have moved the grounding rod to different spot, but no change. It does seem to decrease the pipe from vibrating when I move the coil away from the house (at least 30'). 2nd problem, My arcs are only about 18". Would greatly appreciate any help. Please, any help at all.
As long as you are not grounded, it is okay to touch it. In fact, if you hold a piece of metal to touch the spark, like a wrench, you almost cannot feel it.
First, great vid and great work! But, -- "tesla coil" refers to the extra coil on top of the secondary; this is a tesla transformer -- your calc for f0, @2:41, has an extra factor 1/2 -- @2:41, you add second. and toroidal capacitances, when they are in series and should be added as resistors in parallel... IMHO, take Eric Dollard's advice, and use an old radio capacitor to find resonant frequencies for all of your "concatenated circuits" (as Tesla wrote) and you'll have a finely tuned machine!
Nice wiring job. Tesla used cm to measure inductance and capacitance but did he used so much wire. It takes a lot of wire to light to light a bulb wireless and thats why we make direct connections. see Mini Tesla coil with 110v LED bulb by Lidmotor video.
I remember from school that AC was used as it was efficient for transporting power long distances, Tesla's great invention meant that distant cities and numerous power requirements could all be powered from the same source, adapting to DC at the point of use.
It cost me nearly nothing to build, i got most parts from school and some just lying around. I think the MKP capacitor bank is the most expensive part, 80x €2.50 This teslacoil works on a rotary spark gap, so it is impossible to hook it up to a piano or keyboard.
Multiple layers is not possible with teslacoils. The voltage between the windings is simply too high. The capacitance between the layers would also disrupt the resonance.
I didnt get the construction but maybe it is obvious for people that have watched other tesla coil videos. However, I enjoyed the editing and music. Thumbs up!
its about frequency response-the human nervous system does not operate at the high frequency of a tesla coil. like we cant hear sounds a dog hears-you cant feel the output -but it will give you RF burn,which isnt a good thing
I've seen lots of Tesla coils. Some bigger, some smaller, but that is the prettiest one I've ever seen. Well done!
Im an acrylic fabricator located in washington state, if you are interested in building any more complicated acrylic designs or need something fabricated feel free to contact me.

Check this out, hyperdrive to reality..Makes you wonder how many other inventions/ideas out there fall into this same predicament.
www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/nasa-confirms-impossible-space-drive-actually-works-revolutionize-space-travel/?
You misunderstand that ..... like all creatonists ....... the microvaves are not free they have to be created from someting

Excellent Tesla coil, one of best small designs Ive seen. Great sparks, very steady and powerful, can see the quality of work/design in the results.
I think that's amazing ... and those people asking what practical use it has ... you would be living in the stone age if there would't have been people being curious and amazed about these things.
It's one thing to get it to work. It's a whole new level to get it aesthetically pleasing.
That's an impressively neat setup. I built one of a similar size. It's messy as hell and the streamers are at a max of 10cm only.
The earth strike ring probably doesnt influence the output performance of the coil. It is just placed to prevent the high voltage from entering your primary system as it might damage the components.
I hope you realized by now, that your schematic representation for a variac is incorrect. A variac is an autotransformer; it does not have two (isolated) windings.

Coolest little T.C in youtube. Why does the discharge go upwards? why when the other terminal is far away
i think its great to see someone who uses the physics rather than just making it
By the way, this guy is getting great results with this coil, probably due to the solid state power supply. But you can also get fantastic results going the old school way like Tesla did with a transformer (used to light neon lights), home made capacitors (using plastic and aluminum foil), and a spark gap.

It's... beautiful...
So, please correct me if I am wrong, but is all of your coiling of wires is merely the creation of a transformer? Also, how did you transfer the charge to the conductive dome at the top?
Isnt it a bit dangerous ? all that lightening . Is there a way to make it safe ? Looks like you might get a shock if you touched it

great job man. if i get closer will the lightning hit me? and how bigger should it become, i mean at which power can it be lethal?

ok....that was one of the coolest ones I've seen yet...good job.
what did you use to cover the secondary (what kind of enamel
Were you able to channel the electricity to store and/or use the power for something like a light bulb or appliance(s) in your house etc?
I dont think there is any healing on antigravidy functions for the tesla coil.
My question was if it is actually used somewhere in the industry or anywhere else.

I am impressed it. Is it need to connect to 12V power make it work and give power 380,000volts for house?
Hi What thickness of the plexiglass you used. Where did you get the wire for the primary coil ago.
I'm German and I have this translated using the Google translator.

It's beautiful, gorgeous and all the superlatives, but where is the noise from the coil/spark gap? The loud music have ruined it. Sorry.
Not to b e a spoil-sport, but which one of these contraptions could one use to run a small home with? I'm not an electrician, so I'm not up on all the specifics.
I have been thinking about using solar panals, I know the price has dropped quite a bit in the last couple of years. TIA

Beautiful bit of design and construction, pleasure to see it. Thanks.
excellent craftmanship and beautiful outcome. Thanks for the vid, especially for the construction part.
Could such a high voltage cause a glow in the dark fishing line to glow? Hence could make like signs for stores and events, etc.
Seriously nice construction. Pleasing to see it in operation.
One option that I have used and worked very well, is copper water lines you can get from the hardware store. And by being a hollow tubing it actually would be good for skin effect.

I always wondered, since the wire is so tightly wound up and its sides are in contact with each other, why does it still act as a winding and not a straight, tube-shaped conductor?
do you have plans for the winder you made, that is truly awesome!
Those white sparks when the tesla coil is running (not the still shots), do they look whitish in person also?
how much did it cost to built, acrilic tubing, cooper and power supply? is there any place cheap where u can buy reliable material, like Deal Extreme or so? what is needed to connect it to a piano or so, another power suply, AC?
Well done!
(Nix the stupid "music" so we can hear it.)
What determines the upward angle of the primary coil?
Why not a cylindrical primary coil?
beacause the secondary is small the ratio works better with this primary
DIY metric Why not make a small primary parallel to the secondary?
maybe
i wonder if the old ora photo's the cameras they used to show energy of plants and animals ever been used to image a tesla coil to see if energy being sent out all around or just the paths it takes in the bolts
That is such a cool project. Great music too. Well done
If you reverse some of the circuitry it can be used to collect atmospheric energy, or "free energy" as its dubiously called.
thank you for teaching me something new today. Tesla's solar capacitor? is it like solar panels?
Well done, really impressive! I would like to construct your small Tesla coil for my project too. How much did it cost to build?
Is there any functionality with Tesla coils, or they just used to throw flashy lightnings everywhere?
and you have all that fun all day long! Men I can imagine how insanely happy you have to be all the time.
My brother, is it possible for clearer pictures of the circle, because the picture is not clear?
That was sweet you should do a videos showing how you connect the wires to make it work
Superb craftsmanship I must say, well done!!
How many winds on your coil?
Very nice work! How many rpm is the motor for the RSG?
What is the music playing in video ? Thanks.
Very nice design of tesla coil.
This is great! I'm studying electric fields in physics now and reading about tesla. How much money did all the components cost?
DCSGTCs Rock!
Very nice work, well documented and executed.
yes, only one layer. multiple layers is not possible because it would easily shorten between layers.
Free Energy? How so? Do you plug this into a long extension cord that runs to your friend's house?
where can i get the large amount of magnet wire used in the coil? i know radio shack sells magnet wire but not in large enough quantities, I'm looking to make a Tesla coil over the summer. your help would be much appreciated.
How did you calculated the capacitance of the Tesla coil? or how did you measure that capacitance?
@DreamPharaoh At resonance at high frequencies this is not a problem. In fact, at high frequencies you need to watch the capacitance between the primary and secondary.
Questions? how dangerous are these arcs? I have heard conflicting stories about needing shielding and not needing it.
nice.. very clean build... :) no primary tuning?
Stumbled from Pittsburgh, PA. Very very very awesome.
btw, WHAT was sprayed to the secondary coil? was it clear gloss paint?
thanks, i found very usefull those tools. i'll try to build one but for the hv stage i will use a dc flyback with rotary spark gap
What are you using as top load? Gazing ball? Tnx!
Can I have a question? How and where did you ground the secondary?
I just built a coil and fired it up about 4 days ago. My secondary is 6.625" diameter and 37" tall. Top load is 6"dryer tube and total dia is 33". Using 2- 15k 30 ma nst. I am using a terry filter. And safety gap. I have mmc with capacitance of 17.3nF. I have 2 spark gaps set at .25" (total of .5"). Not air cooled. My primary is 22 turns and I'm tapped in at turn 17.

-- "tesla coil" refers to the extra coil on top of the secondary; this is a tesla transformer
-- your calc for f0, @2:41, has an extra factor 1/2
-- @2:41, you add second. and toroidal capacitances, when they are in series and should be added as resistors in parallel...
