A full foot long arc and get to more then 1million volts eventually. I have finally built a REAL Tesla coil that operates via an arc and capacitor combination. Not just a flyback or transformer setup in series. It was not as difficult as I thought it might be, and since my successful Coil Driver circuit was perfected I have been able to run a lot of things.

I also learned a great deal about TV circuits and Flybacks. I have many projects planned, one is to build my own O-scope from scratch. I have done something similar before-back in the mid 1990s I built a "ocilograph" from scratch with a B&W TV but the picture was weak and I never perfected the drivers and amplifiers for it`s deflection coil. I now know how to do so. This is one of my planned projects. I have used many means to drive flyback or LOPT transformers from old TVs to homemade AC ones. Hartley Oscillators to my take on the ZVS as I posted before-and now, my favorite, a flexible synthetic oscillator and mosfet combination. Simply a 555 and power mosfet IRFP260 was my obvious choice for getting the most out of flybacks without burning them out. Thus the Coil Driver 1628 was born, which I will explain later-powers a TV flyback and here thus the Tesla coil circuits. I am sure I am not the first one to ever use a TV flyback to run a 150Kv Tesla coil-however-I have never seen anyone do it on the Internet or anywhere else. I decided to power my coil with a large TV flyback (yes DC due to it`s built in diodes)- as I had no choice. I simply had to- on a very low budget put this coil and two others together with whatever I had laying around. The primary is made of old TV coax, the coil itself wound around an old plastic bottle. I built the adjustable arc chamber inside a pill container which surprised the very loud sounds...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
