Yeah shes a bit long :P will be short once the roof goes on top where the resonator will live. Ive got no problem tapping a helical primary at quarter turns, silicon wire loves doing that. Its a horrible first light, when i get the proper tuns on the primary and proper toroids it should be...

Tested my SGTC today, first without a secondary then with a really bad setup. Wrong Secondary too little Inductance Wrong sized Top Load(s) Unknown Primary Inductance heres a lil video: Getting 50mm arc's, im surprised it did anything!

Haha good stuff. Yay experiments :-D

32awg is soo easy can do 200mm of it 20mins. 40awg is like laying hair its bullshit small. Haha thats really weird what have you done to it?

wound my secondary and polished my top load :D tried to wind 40AWG but it was a C&%T! went for 32AWG instead, this is going to raise the resonant frequency a lot so im probz gunna add a extra bigger top load.

yeah? blown some up before?

Got me tank caps today! 20kV @ 0.03uF ordered a couple extra just in-case.

started making a enclosure/stand for the SGTC

Okie dokie! yeah your right, cant wait to see it resonate, i must wind the coil in 0.09652mm wire about 180mm, hope the resistance doesnt get too high for decent sparks!

Also is it better to suck the air or blow? when i suck the air from the gap, i get ~20mm arcs drawn towards the fan, is that better for quenching? My stainless bolts are holding up good too!

haha yeah i noticed the air pressure dead zone from the fan motor. Seems to be working good at 7.5mm gap!

i have a 240CFM Fan for my Microbrute :D my plasma speaker coils use 32 or 34 gauge secondary wire! my spark gap tesla coil going to use 40AWG :D Finished my spark gap, the fan is 105CFM.

interesting, i have copper pipe at work and solid copper machining rounds, whats the point of having heaps of pipes? Im trying to keep the thing low profile as i can. I will probably by these after xmas...

its a 80mm fan, gap is like 12mm! thats like 3mm gap for 7.5kV?

Yes home security level: Tesla!

haha yes good thinking! they use TE PCH-112D2H so 250VAC at 5A max.

haha welcome to the 21st century!

G'day, Thought id share this cool little device i bought a while ago from kickstarter. Its called Fargo from LinorTek, its a relay board with 8x relays that has a built in web-server that you can log into and control the relays. Ive got it hooked up to my garage door motor unit, so when i...

i made some aluminium ones to try out, its a low power transformer so ill see how it goes :D I thought copper would die easily? here's my attempt at a static spark gap:

Alright sweet! Also im making a Spark gap for my small SGTC (9kV @ 20mA), which electrode material is the better between the following: alumimium, stainless steel, titanium, brass, mild steel. I know tungsten is best but wont get any before xmas
