    nice and big :D soon, just gota hook it up, gota modify the break out points, they are too close atm.

    haha nice speedy! how many VA is it? ive got a little 500VA one atm. in other news im heading down the bipolar coil way, heres a mini i intend to use on the plasma speaker driver

    DIY Parametric speaker (in kit form)

    wow i am tempted to buy that kit!

    15kV 60mA is the big boy isnt it? Cheers! They want $100AUD each for the NST's. Yeah i dont know why they didnt put this one in a case either. At work we have a Traffolyte engraver, its like a mini CNC: Wow thats a nice vid! love the CW and interupted feature :D

    Good news, i found a guy selling some new NST's he has 4 of them, he listed the like this. 1x 5kV, 30mA 2x 6kV, 30mA 1x 8kV, 30mA Anyway i asked for photos of each one and found something interesting. I found on the 5kV NST it said "5000-E-5000" meaning there is 2 windings 5kV each! Also...

    Wow thats awesome man! love how the boards turned out :D

    Re-wound and re-tuned my primary to suite a smaller capacitance as Sigurthr advised. Ive tripled the spark length now :D any thanks to Sigurthr :D

    Hehe Will do! i will work through the night. Thanks for your help on that :beer:

    hmmm so the tank cap isnt getting fully charged? putting 4 caps in parrallel will render 120nF.. Dont you means in series? 3 in series should get me 10nF? Ill have to rewind the primary coil for that i have 3 turns atm, is it better to have more than that you reckon? Edit jut ran JavaTC again...

    hmm well im running a 30nF tank @ 40kV

    what output would you expect for 500kHz and 180VA?

    Tesla Coil Build Thread

    Yeah my 180VA Beast! Would putting a 10uF power factor correction capacitor on the primary of my tranny do it some good?

    gave it a test run with the pancake coil and tuned it a bit, here's some results, its resonating at ~520kHz.

    I bought this black 4.5mm A3 sheet a while ago off ebay, yeah gunna hot glue it cause hot glue comes off easy if i need to readjust the turns :D

    Wow nice CW discharges their ion! Made a platform for my pancake coil today! Should look good with the clear base underneath.

    Hehe do it! Amaze the people in its mystery. Sizing up a pancake coil with mah SGTC. Should i raise the primary higher to engage more of the secondary? what type of distance should i need between primary and secondary? Sigurthr i choose you! if your not already munted in tonight's...

    Nice work Speedy! Its getting close to my new years eve party where im deploying the Onetesla DRSSTC for musical arcs :D Wish you all a Happy New year from Down Under!

    Great Job! The mini coil is cute :D i see people making capacitors from beer bottles, aluminium foil and salt water, maybe should look at that, you need to get your capacitance up to lower the resonant frequency for bigger arcs.
