    Ballast Resistor HELP!

    I finally found it, for some reason it was in my pulse cap box...:thinking, It measures in at 34k ohm though...sorry bout that:/ So I would go with Jerry, on the plus side he is also in Canada so you will get it much sooner than through me.

    Ballast Resistor HELP!

    Brando, I am pretty sure I have one left from an old deceased tube... I have no use for it so provided I find it and it isn't blown, as dave mentioned, it's yours. That being said I am on my way to bed, will look for it tomorrow. Another factor is that I live in Europe, however, based on the...

    Tesla coil build book.

    Kingdave: Thanks man :beer: T_J: If that's what you want then I suggest you buy the book. :p Converting a regular DRSSTC to what Steve Conner has set-up in that video is only a matter of changing the external interrupter (which sets pulse width and frequency) with a midi modulator which is...

    Tesla coil build book.

    DRSSTCs run off-line, no HV transformers needed, what you are thinking of is the SGTC (HV transformer, LC circuit and spark gap).

    Tesla coil build book.

    Dans coils (minibrute designer) are DRSSTC (like the one in avatar, or the larger one on my youtube vids), they use semiconductors (IGBTs) to pump hundreds of amps into the primary and require a driver board+ some in-depth knowledge of power electronics and an o-scope. Though I imagine his...

    I have also noticed that some spinel (light blue) has a drastic color change to an almost ruby red under 405nm. :yh: Just thought I would add.

    Is the universe infinite or finite?

    The was I see it, is this: The universe is finite in the cosmic scale. It is however infinite on the human perception scale. The reason being that like any other explosion it is expanding, at what I believe to be the speed of light (0.02), therefore even if, we were to manufacture a vehicle...

    Briefcase Tesla Coil build

    Sound advice, that is exactly the culprit in play. I would also check if the grounding of the secondary is up-to-par. I have had problems in the past with racing sparks when my ground wasn't proper. Razako: Do you have a picture of the coil and the way its primary is positioned/its geometry...
