Briefcase Tesla Coil build

Sorry for the delay. Here are some pics:eg:
Here's a video of my kit-built medium sized coil.

Currently it's missing a toroid cause I put it on my bigger coil

This is the big one. Other than buying the secondary off ebay this was entirely DIY work. I fired it up briefly and it was insanely cool, but I turned it off after like 10 seconds cause of the sparking problems. Since then I've done a lot to improve it. It has a small bucket thing around the bottom of the secondary and I have the primary going around this. I filled in the 1 inch gap between the bucket walls and the secondary with melted wax. Also I heavily taped the exposed primary with like 1/4 inch of electrical tape and added some other barriers to deter the sparks. I haven't had a chance to test it again though cause I've been waiting for the snow to melt outside. No way I'm firing this up indoors with computers and stuff around it.

Very nice Raz. I couldn't get away with one that big inside my house. My cats would climb it and use it as a scratch post for sure. :D
 
Very cool man. I'll get a pic of my Tesla Coils up soon. I've built a 3ft coil running off a 12/60 making about 200kv and my Mini Coil is a 14 incher that probably does 100kv. That one it running off a 9/30 NST.
