As you can see I used some saltwater capacitors, going to go buy proper ones.
And maybe an SVD driver for the flyback.

So I made the sgtc and I'm seeking more advice and stuff.

You have to remove the "https://www.youtube.com/" part in between the [/YT] flags so your post will work. So your video will be shown in the thread like this:

10/10 for effort, but, that TC is horribly inefficient, 3-5KV at most. You need to put photo's of the driver circuit, we have some experienced TC builders here, including myself.

I'm aware of its inefficiency, I'm going to get an ZVS driver for the flyback and proper capacitors for it, it was just for experimentation purposes.

What is a SVD driver?

I bought some ZVS zero voltage switch drivers to pulse flybacks and they work amazingly well, but I have not heard of SVD, what is it?

zvs | eBay

I'm sorry, I meant ZVS :yabbem: too much stuff going trough my head today.

Was thinking of getting this:
Banggood-zvs driver
Why banggood? because ebay is unavailable in my country and as far as I'm aware no electronic shops around me supply zvs drivers.

Wholeheartedly agree with Ped! Again, excellent effort. If you decide you want some help/tips/etc feel free to ask =) . We've got a whole thread devoted to Tesla Coils down in the geek section down stairs.
