Ever wish you could build an amazing, high-performance solid-state Tesla coil without using fancy parts or tons of money? Are you tired of seeing the same old slayer exciter circuits and mini SSTC's with weird voltage demands? Do you dream of something BETTER? WELL DREAM NO LONGER! After perfecting this circuit for a few years, I'm finally ready to share it's secrets with the world! No longer will you suffer from those non-informative, demo-what-I-built videos. By the end of this video, you'll know everything that I know about this super-simple Tesla coil and be able to design and build one of your own! And if that wasn't enough, I also posted my own Instructable on this very circuit, which I encourage you to check out:

I didn't mention this in my video, but if the coil doesn't work when you power it up, try switching the connections on the primary coil. This will almost always solve the issue!
For this special project, I teamed up with the great minds from Plasma Channel and ThePlasmaPrince to present you with the most information possible about this illusive circuit. Many thanks to both of them for their help! ThePlasmaPrince filmed his own video for this collaboration, which you can watch here: • DIY Easy Solid State T... .
