A Tesla coil with only three components!

- A simplified version of the Slayer Exciter solid state Tesla coil using only a 10F supercapacitor, a 2N3904 npn transistor and an 85 turn coil.
It requires an electromagnetic pulse to start resonating at very high frequency.
The larger model uses a 2N2222 transistor.
Using the transistor’s leads as the primary coil is genius, love it
The piezo ignition is funny because some years ago a buddy told me to do that, but he said "use a lighter". So I ended up using something like an enclosed phototransistor on the base with only a pinhole for light to travel to it, and using an actual flint ignited lighter to spark enough light in front of the hole to turn the transistor on. Meanwhile I could have just grabbed a grill lighter haha.
What a neat device! A speaker voice coil could be perfect as a secondary, will try this for my germicidal UVC lamp that has a failed driver circuit.
"Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave! With scrap!"
Using oscilloscope probe with ground lead just clamped to tip creates 1 single turn pickup and can be used to watch the oscillations... A cheap 1Gsps scope with 30+ MHz bandwidth is enough.
Looks like 5 components to me.....
Kinda reminds me of a joule thief circuit.
Bro's voice so deep, he's about to enter the batcave.

Interesting investigation of circuit limits!
You could easily take the crystal igniter component out and rig it to the coil making it all one piece. This was super impressive.
I like how you used the caps leads as the primary coil. As well as the transistor leads giving it a hug. Clever!!
I’m just getting into electronics(started this year) but he explained well. the concepts presented clicked with my current understanding and knowledge. Now I have more interesting things to look into.
This is like all the electromagnetic theories in one lesson
Thank you for sharing this circuit with us. Love it.
Using the piezo-electric firestarter reminded me that I had a odd "remote controlled" robot dinosaur as a child that used a piezo-electric trigger remote to signal the dinosaur to perform an action. This would have been all the way back in the in the 1980's, but it was one of those clever Japanese toys, and I hadn't thought about it until watching your video.
This was super-captivating... Nice work!
Not sure why, but this video finally made me understand how this whole thing works.
So cool, dude! Thanks!
I love to run lights from Batteries or my Tesla coil as it pokes one in the eye of the energy cartel. Hahaha.
