Good built. I never connected mid point of my old NST to ground, so it was safe to touch ONE of its' terminal. Touching both gave nasty shock. 6kv/30 mA NST
Hi there! Just came across your channel & "WOW" . It's a very good video & very instructive too. Well done dude & keep it going with your Tesla Coil DIY.
Classic type spark gap I am making Tesla Coil. I have a few questions to ask you. I would appreciate if you help. I use a 15 kV 30 mA Neon transformer for the input. I used a ceramic type capacitor for the primary capacity. capacity 25 kV 30 nF. Capacitor information 6 pieces 10nF 10 kV. 6 pieces 10 nF 15 kV. If I connect a parallel 10 Megaohm resistor to each capacitor for fast discharge, will the tesla work correctly? Will it be enough for insulation if I cover the capacitor leg connections with silicone? Spark gap distance 13 mm is enough? I used 10 mm copper tube in the primary coil. I wrapped 10 turns. How many mm should the connection cable between the capacitors and the copper tube? I have 1 mm copper wire for the secondary coil. How many times will the number of turns of the secondary coil be? There is a 50mm diameter and 400 mm long plastic pipe. How many turns should I spiral to resonate correctly? When the process is finished, what is the spark length in the end when testing? Which equipment do we need to cool when we make this circuit? Does over-winding of the secondary coil cause overheating? Is it necessary to cover the secondary winding with varnish? If you answer this e-mail, I would appreciate it if you could help.
This a masterful video. I will make my children watch it and then build their own Tesla coils. the ones that die while testing it will be the stupid ones. this way i am only left with smart children.
I think the output is what you would expect for a 7500 volt 30ma power supply, but as far as tuning all I did was build it based on the online resonance calculator and then alligator clip the spot on the primary coil that gave me the best output. Also I think I was 15 when I made this so it’s definitely not perfect lol
I don't really know specifically, but from what I can tell doing an MMC like I did is a pretty solid option. I would check out deepfriedneon.com; they have a really good tesla coil design guide and they show how to design a capacitor bank for a specific power supply.
Freaky Tesla I think I’ve seen videos where people use those, but I actually don’t really have any experience with them so I’m not sure how you would design a coil around one. But there’s probably a lot of online info about that
Santos Valencia yeah mot’s work really well for Tesla coils but they’re definitely more dangerous so I would do some research about how to design a coil around one and make sure you’re doing everything properly.

I think with that many specific questions I’m actually probably not your best source to ask - I built this a while ago and and I don’t know the answers to a lot of your questions. However, I would definitely check out deepfriedneon.com because that website has pretty much everything you need to know about Tesla Coil design. I would also recommend JavaTC, the design program that I used in this video. Good Luck!
