30W Bipolar Tesla Coil 

Interesting! Somehow I've never seen using TC windings in such configuration, not sure if it can be still called TC or just a transformer but still is fun ;-) The part before coils resembles a thing I made way back as a teenager in pre-RU-vid times. I remember using few caps in paralel to increase the max current from 230V mains (I live in Poland so as most of Europe we have 230V). And I had it rectified still at that stage so it did not require HV rectifier. The switching frequency of about 15Hz was supplied from NE555 controlling 12V relay since I had bad time burning through a bunch oftransistors too expensive for my teenage pocket money budget :D Such switched DC supply was then fed to two ignition coils where one had reversed polarity effectively doubling the voltage between them. Did not thought then about adding a second stage as you did here although plans for making TC were on my mind ;-). But even with this simple contraption I had a lot of fun and even had a video about it that was Internet accessible from a small server placed in my very bedroom :D Ah, those good old days when internet was harder yet simpler haha. BTW, I assume there's a mistake on the schematic you've shown and the secondary winding isn't shorted with neutral line but rather goes to the negative terminal of the bridge, right? This looks strange as one of the diodes in the bridge effectively shorts the ignition coil in each half cycle.

So those lil' hands helped u in painting 😊

Nice build. I can touch a 80 VA spark gap Tesla coil with a metal piece and nothing happens, but I cant touch it with fingers. The arcs could light a cigar.

You should use an inductor between the high voltage rectifier and capacitor.

Awesome!

That DIY high voltage capacitor is dope! I'll try making one someday😄 Do you have any future plans of building a musical Tesla coil?

So… nice design, I’m considering a similar one. I am curious as to why you rectified the ignition coil output instead of just using the AC.

Awesome stuff 😎😎😎

Can i use this driver on motorcycle ignition coils..is it same or must change some parts..

Hey now that's inappropriate! ...Oh... it was a hotdog.

So why not boost your voltage to higher numbers for coil induced magnetic propulsion? Is there a reduction in current associated with this?

Enter the hot dog

#ElectroBOOM please make a circuit like this and explain ❤

If I used two 20kv diodes would It work?

Don't use your hand instead of a vise.
