How to make a mini Tesla Coil

How to make a mini Tesla Coil
In today's video I'll show you a great idea, a long awaited video about how to make a Tesla coil at the minimal expenses. It's very easily to make a Tesla coil at home. I hope you will make it without any problems after watching this video.

About Tesla :
A Tesla coil is a radio frequency oscillator that drives an air-core double-tuned resonant transformer to produce high voltages at low currents. Tesla's original circuits as well as most modern coils use a simple spark gap to excite oscillations in the tuned transformer. More sophisticated designs use transistor or thyristor switches or vacuum tube electronic oscillators to drive the resonant transformer. These are described in later sections.

Tesla coils can produce output voltages from 50 kilovolts to several million volts for large coils. The alternating current output is in the low radio frequency range usually between 50 kHz and 1 MHz. Although some oscillator-driven coils generate a continuous alternating current, most Tesla coils have a pulsed output the high voltage consists of a rapid string of pulses of radio frequency alternating current.

[kushal]

thank you for presenting the video
i have also tried it
its working
keep up
it

[mr.laysqa]

how many turns on the primary and secondary coils? and how the thickness of the copper in the primary and secondary coils?

[santiagosilva]

thank you for the video! i was wondering if you can help me out?, for some reason mine isnt working...

[swapnilvyas]

hi there i tried doing this however it doesnt work and my transistor keeps frying, any help beside inverting primary coil connenction

[hit]

can you tell which is the gauge or wire u used to make 300 turns in coil like the other is 22G what is its ? G

[benjaminshultz]

How can I apply 12v to it without blowing my transistor? What do I need to add or change to the circuit?

[_Dhruv-njdk]

I have done everything same but it's not working and the transistor gets very hot in about 10seconds.I have used the same kind of wire for primary and secondary coil, I mean that there is no rubber insulation on secondary coil but there's enamel coating on it like the primary coil.Please help! I have to submit this in my school!

[savithamurty]

does it depend upon the values of resistor .. .
and lenght of the pipe. ..
can u tell what resistance we could use for 15 cm long pipe??

[velvetgold]

what is the blue wire...you use to complete the circuit at the end...it's not specific....help please ASAP!!!!

[shubhpreetrana]

Can 13007, 13009, kn2222a. any of transistor will work and what will be the no. of turns in primary coil

[silkyprajapati]

a great thnx for you
i tried three times before
and i was unsuccessful
but after watching your video and trying i got a great success

[Mrjohnboyd]

I think what your doing is excellent for people like me who find electronics fascinating by really know nothing about it. You seem to be a conscientious young man. Please consider improving the audio portion of your presentation. I could barely understand what was being said. In your video previous to that there was not that problem. Also, maybe you could find some music that everyone would find enjoyment in. The music in this video was making me crazy (more crazy than I already am - that's not good for me lol) the same thing over and over and over....get my idea?

[UAVwaffle]

does it matter how many turns I have on the secondary coil (as long as I have at least 300 turns) or is there a harmonic frequency thing going on here.

[PantherMaster]

If i use a metal pipe instead of a PVC pipe, will it work? or not since all of the it will disipate into the metal?

[kailassi]

What is the gauge of primary and secondary coil?

[JAYAPRAKASH-ggvw]

what is the turns in the primary and secondary

[G.V.Ramnivedan]

Will it be available at every electronic store

[abijack]

I have some small doubt's
★first tell me why we use transistor and what is the function of it
★and what is the color code of the resistor

[shreyastiwari]

Why is the pvc while u are winding GREY and at end while working, it's white????

[kfirdahan]

Does it matter if I use another 2n.... transistor and not 2n2222a transistor? Because in my city there is no 2n2222a
