| Long exposure is best exposure. |
Modularity
- At some point, I want this thing to shoot monster streamers, so being able to swap components would be nice.
Reliability
- Demos are far more fun when things work.
Sexiness
-Hnngggghhhh *ahem*
Construction breakdown:
Chassis
-Two sheets of HDPE held up by threaded rod columns
- Fan bolted onto a piece of plexi that was subsequently ziptied onto the threaded rod (farming hard)
Secondary
- Donated by the Daniel Kramnik
- 4" diameter, 2.5'~ tall
- 24 AWG???
- Resonant frequency ~555kHz
- Added toilet flange for increased mounting stability to chassis
Primary
- 1/4" copper refrigeration tubing wound spiral-style
- Added supports for sexiness
Topload
- Some very sad aluminum ducting wrapped in even sadder aluminum tape. Not exactly my best handiwork.
MMC
- Scavenged Panasonic metal film caps
- Rated for ~8kV
-Capacitance: ??? (something in the 0.005uF range)
NST
- 9kV, 30mA (problem, MMC?)
Spark Gap
- Zinc-plated hardware (a bad idea)
- Cooled via muffin fan (a yummy idea)
Here, have some pictures media!

| Protip: when laying the primary, go from the center outward |

| mmmm, HDPE |
Results:
14"~ streamers
There is plenty of room for improvement, but that is the lovely thing about coiling, it is an ongoing adventure :)
ReplyDeleteI have built many Tesla coils myself and you can see them at http://www.kaizerpowerelectronics.dk and I also write and discuss about building Tesla coils with other builders on http://www.highvoltageforum.net
