Күн бұрын

This is the first video in the series "Building a Solid State Tesla Coil".In this video, we will build the secondary coil for my new small solid state tesla coil model "Alpha-DR mark IV", which will be capable of generating electrical discharges greater than 1.30m (~51.2") in length.
Some specs about the secondary coil:
PVC form: 102x367mm (~4x14.45"), 1.8mm (~71th) wall
Winding: 357mm (14") of 31AWG PU enamealed copper wire, ~1370 turns
DC resistance: 190 Ohms (Measured)
Inductance: 46.3mH (Measured)
Resonant frequency (with no topload): ~280kHz.
Any question? feel free to comment on.

Absolutely loved this look inside the construction of these secondaries. I always thought that you sourced these bespoke from a manufacturer as they were so uniform. I look forward to seeing many more similar videos from you, thanks again for making an English version.

will you be providing files for the pcb component and any other downloads for this project? been a builder of SGTC and VTTC but SSTC is one that has elluded me till now. i have been building up suppplies for a build and have the IGBT bricks and most other components on hand, and winding coils is something i have covered, actually working on an auto winder with wire straightener self tentioning. its more the driver circut that i really need to sort, as i really dont know much about driving these big igbt bricks.

@uitvinderalex 2 ай бұрын

I also used PVC tube in the past for the secondary windings, but unfortunately it has shrunk (likely due to the extrusion) over the years resulting in loose windings and electrical breakdown. Solution: buy some fiberglass tubing instead, that will likely also have better glue attachment for potting the secondary coil ;)

@franzolielectronics 2 ай бұрын

Oh, this is interesting.. I use PVC form secondaries since 2009 and its still working well. Maybe heating it for a couple of hours, before placing turns can be helpful.

Any chance you could replicate the circumstance warned against in Tesla's Wardenclyffe patent where he explains how a frequency shift, after the secondary LC tank is loaded with enough power, can result in a "fireball", whatever that might mean ? I'm puzzled more people have not focused on replicating this, though I'm pretty sure the described conditions could be arrived at coincidentally.

@44R0Ndin 2 ай бұрын

Is there a reason why you used superglue on the end caps of the secondary coil instead of ABS cement, since both are of the "same" plastic, you should be able to use the compatible bonding agent, right? Were it me making a coil using this method, I'd probably have reached for the ABS cement that you nearly always find sold in hardware stores (at least in the USA) specifically for gluing together sections of ABS pipe and fittings in drain systems of a house. This stuff creates an extremely secure bond, it's more akin to a chemcial weld than a true glue joint, because the ABS on both sides of the joint is turned partially into a gel by the cement (similarly to how model cement works), and when you join the two pieces you're supposed to twist them against each other to ensure a firm mechanical bond and a hermetic seal (which is the whole point of making a drain system out of ABS pipe in the first place). The only reasons I can think of offhand for not using ABS cement for this purpose are that you either didn't have any (and did have superglue), or that you have either researched or discovered by doing that there is some chemical incompatibility between the ABS cement and whatever material you are using to prevent electrical flash-over on the exterior surface of the secondary coil winding itself (my guess is that it's some form of corona dope, and judging by the presence of the vacuum pump in the background, you might also be vacuum potting the coil, which is a good idea if you can manage it easily enough). I would love to hear your thoughts on this in any case.

@franzolielectronics 2 ай бұрын

Yeah, because the super glue can be easily removed if necessary, without breaking the secondary.

Thanks for the video. Can you tell us the total cost of building such a tesla coil? Thank you!

@franzolielectronics 2 ай бұрын

Thats a good question. The most expensive parts are IGBTs and capacitors. The small sized coil of this series, will have an estimated market value of around U$2000. On this secondary coil, the expense was only ~U$12,00

Boa tarde Fabrício preciso ter perguntado sobre a ponte full de igbts se tiver alguma rede social que posso entrar em contato com você , é sobre os igbts G40N60B3 estou tentando colocar eles na minha Drsstc mais não sei qual diodo reveso ficaria bom neles o Alexandre que te conhece ele falou que você a muito tempo parece que usou desses igbts , poderia me ajudar nesse quesito??

@franzolielectronics Ай бұрын

Alguma coisa como "RURG5060". Mas ao meu ver, é inviável. Você pode adquirir bons IGBTs que já possuem diodos de roda livre internos, por um preço próximo do próprio diodo. Usei "HGTG40N60A4D" e "IRGP4063D", mas descobri que esse esse primeiro componente, foi invenção dos chineses. A Fairchild nunca criou de fato haha Para ter ideia, não existe "HGTG40N60A4" com diodo interno num encapsulamento TO-247.
