    Here is a quick explanation for those who are losing their mind right now because this will be a 3 part project instead of a 2 part project. First off, was it planned as a 3 part project? No! I usually try to stay away from such long projects since I know that not every viewer will like the project. And spending 3 parts on it or 3 weeks will certainly annoy such viewers who have no interest in the subject. But I had no other choice to extend it to a 3 part project this time. Not only was the build process very long but also problematic. I am still currently working on the feedback part of the circuit. Also I wanted to include how to play music with such a tesla coil since many viewers asked for it. In a nutshell such 10 minute videos are the absolute maximum that I can produce in one week in this one man production style. The first two parts were full so I had to extend it. I am also not sure whether part 3 will follow next week, since I want to offer variety for the viewers. Anyway, I hope you understand my struggle and look forward to the conclusion of this project. Stay creative!

      If it had 50 parts I would watch all of them with a big smile in my face... I can't understand those people who are complaining about a free content (amazing content I should say)... It is understandable that people want to see more and more from GreatScott... but... come on, some people are playing really low ("he splits the videos because he wants more money...", and bla bla bla).
      GreatScott, for me your channel is one of the best channels about electronics on youtube and far my favorite. Keep up the great work and try to ignore those negatives comments. Greetings from the neighbor Switzerland!

    Hello, Scott, greetings from Litauen! I already built my SSTC using two IR2110 ics and IRFP460N mosfets. Noticable heating starts around 80VDC on the full bridge. High and low signals are generated using STM32F4 discovery board, TIM1, which has complemetary outputs and adjustable dead band. High and low side signals connected to driver IC's through optocouplers and current buffers. Discovery board is supplied with isolated 5V 0,7A supply and drivers are supplied through 7812 and 7805 regulators for each IC. Mains are regulated via variac and then rectified. Sec coil is around 40cm height and has approx 1100 turns and primary uses 10 turns. With 100VDC ( I was happy wth that for around 5 seconds and one MOSFET blew up :D ) I got around 15 cm discharges.
    Really nice channel and videos ! Good luck with a Tesla coil!

  • @Aperson-sv2hc
    @Aperson-sv2hc 7 років тому

    I've assembled a tesla coil kit for one of my high school teachers. It uses half-bridge and it sings. Worked a bit, and then started blowing the fuse immediately after plugging it in. I removed the igbt's and they both measured only a few ohms no matter how they were probed. After watching your video, I believe the fault lies in a design flaw. The protection diodes on the igbt's. the kit says they are optional, and does not include them. Right... optional only if you don't care how long it lasts.

  • @TheSwissGabber
    @TheSwissGabber 7 років тому +2

    The IGBTs get hot because tdon is smaller then tdoff, 100ns in your case. that leads to cross condition. use a driver like a IR2184 which has a 500ns dead time built in.

  • @2010craggy
    @2010craggy 7 років тому

    Tesla coils do require some quite extensive setting up to maximise there resonate frequency, which improves miss matches and the overall efficiency of the coil. Solid state drivers for these can take what seems an eternity to design, tweak and reconfigure, but modulating (pulsing) the output driver helps keep the IGBT transistor's cooler. You could also add some sort of thermistor feedback circuit to one of the heatsinks which you could use to provide a thermal value to the Arduino which could be configured to reduce the output voltage as needed to stop thermal runaway- or worse case scenario, shut down and protect the IGBT's.

  • @zs8784

  • @lukalopin
    @lukalopin 5 років тому

    There is no dead time in your driver, that could be the reason of heating. Switching IGBT in open circuit could breakdown the gate. Also, oversized topload ruined Q factor of Tesla coil, so you get smaller discharge length for the same power. Beside that your project looks nice, well done.

  • @Xeno_Bardock
    @Xeno_Bardock 4 роки тому

    If you add Extra Coil and connect it to the Secondary Coil and then connect Top Load to the Extra Coil like Tesla recommends in patent 1119732, you should be able to get even larger sparks. Extra Coil aka Resonator acts as a magnifier. The Colorado Springs model of Tesla Coil is called Tesla Magnifying Transmitter.

  • @sparkyprojects
    @sparkyprojects 7 років тому

    Most SSTC's that use a full bridge have a capacitor in series with the primary, that may reduce the current and heating.
    Also, check that black paint, many use carbon to produce the black colour,

  • @xaxaxaaxaxax
    @xaxaxaaxaxax 7 років тому

    maybe you need a freewheeling diode across the igbts to avoid the voltage spikes, since the igbt does not have a inherent body diode like mosfets do; without the diode the voltage spikes can easily exceed the reverse breakdown voltage of the base-emitter junction, which has a much lower breakdown than the base-collector junction, and heat up the igbt or damage it

    It is really hard to use a full bridge to drive a "transformer" with very low Q value. I failed many times when building my music plasma thing and finally choose to step back and use a self exciting soft switching topology. Also, soft switching can protect your IGBTs from high voltage peaks. If you want to stay with your full bridge design, the following may help.
    1 add a electric reactor
    2 use a intermediary transformer between outputs and primary coil
    3 somehow get the current feeding into the primary coil more like a sine wave
    4 check out how induction cooker control circuit works and that may be helpful

    Ok I understand that you're doing it because you want to learn something. But I just made a ~50kV supply with 4cm arcs (Air resistance, thats why I think its 50kV) using only two Items: A CRT Flyback transformer and a 12V Halogen-lamp driver. The 12V output has to be wound around the Flyback-transformers Core. I have 20 windings.
    You may need to actively cool the driver. In a weird coincidence most blower also use 12V...

    A spark gap tesla coil with a decent input transformer can output over 12 inch sparks (self proven). And you can get 100A 1200V half bridge IGBT modules off eBay for $10 a piece. Why not go big given the ridiculous wire gauge you used for the primary? Not trying to bring you down, I love your channel. As far as basics go, it is a great video, but I would like to see it taken further.

    Can you do a video about prototyping boards(perfboard,stripboard etc) and how to connect components on them?

    I've watched a couple of your videos now and have two comments: 1. You seriously need a 12x36" metal lathe and 2. I'm seriously glad I dont live next door to you - your RF would be hell on my radio. I wonder how Tesla created his either on/off voltages or oscillating voltages for his coils without electronics? Was it a rotating armature with brushes?

    Looks like somebody got a new circular saw.😉 Btw what about etching the circuit?

    Hi! GreatScott! Can upload some footage about the coil when it has a corona discharge like arcing in the dark? I'd would really like it! :D

    GreatScott! Nice circuit, but coud you make a video on gate driver transformers?
    I am sure it would be very helpful for a lot of us.

      GreatScott! Awesome video, BTW what is the length of biggest arc you could make with this circuit and what is the max range btween tesla and bulb?

    • @greatscottlab
      @greatscottlab  7 років тому +2

      4cm arcs are possible so far. The distance between the CCF lamp was a maximum of 20-30cm.

      GreatScott! Nice, Try this circuit with a incandescent light bulb, It looks awesome :)

      Great job, I love the SSTC series. Would the CCF lamp burn (stop working) if it gets too close?
      Stay great!

    Hi Scott,
    Can you make a video about tesla's new battery and how you can charge it with mains voltage

    If you should succeed in making it play music, you should let it play one of the credit songs from Portal^^

    Hey great Scott could you also try to turn your tesla coil into a musical tesla coil pls?
