Your tesla coil videos are probably the most impressive I've seen on youtube

[sabrinaxin]

I think you should put the pointy part of the Tesla coil on the top

Crazy with orange lightning ⚡ interesting.

por suerte los IGBTs sobre vivieron, pero creo que ahora hay una fuga de voltaje en el secundario

Holy crap did that just induction heat the fasteners molten that quickly?

[fabriziobrutti]

Wow!!! What's the secondary (spark) current?? It looks pretty high!! 😮😮👍

lOOKS like the old coil took out some components.
Down for repair?
That is a mean looking spike

I dare you to use magnesium fastner instead of steel XD

[VIKEHV]

I dont think your DRSSTC is supposed to fling those kinds of sparks.

Does the secondary coil get hot after some minutes of running?
