Nice work man, this is definitely a quality tutorial! Makes me want to redo mine...

Makes me want to go back to the old days when I did mine. For all beginners , the spark gap Tesla coil is one of the best way to go through as it makes your brain works as you simply want to get the best possible output sparks. That's great dear as you did an excellent job. Keep it up.

100% in my top 3 SGTC build vids, was a great inspiration for my own build. Great job man!😊

Holy cr*p, you've had this channel since you were a kid, 7 years ago! Well done keeping it going. I see lots of great videos from the past that I'll need to watch.

Excellent detail explaining the dimensions and math!

Awesome build! And good job showing how you did each step, including the fails. Not enough people show that!

This is a great video. Failure and success with your dad and your dog thrown in too. Just fantastic. I hope to build my own

this is rly cool! love the calculations & details. also u touching it at the end is WILD omg

That is amazing! You really got a great output there also very nice editing! I gotta save this in my tesla coil playlist:D

Just discovered this channel and I love it haha Keep it up 👍

Dude... AWESOME!!!!

Yeah Buddy, Excellent work dude. The information you included took me a long time to learn... But it really got me hooked on Tesla and his amazing story as well as his unbelievable body of work. Your video production is top notch, with the graphics that I've never seen before. You did an excellent job,and should truly be proud. I would be... I started building the thing before I ever knew how it was supposed to work. Which looking back on it now, I would have not finished learning what is needed to learn without the non-working coil sitting there taunting me, so all part of the process for me. And truthfully, the learning part simply won't end. Tesla coils really drove me to learn like school never did. I've become addicted to learning new things... I really went at electronics full force all on my own, with no prior knowledge at all. Nothing but fear of electricity. What you said at the beginning is true, I can attest to that. I devoted myself for years to understanding Electromagnetics. And even still am passionate to understand what is seemingly not understandable. Like Magnets and Elementary charge, To the Ether concept and Eric Dollard's masterful work. Wanting to prove Tesla right and within my limited means, prove to myself that his wireless power transmission is totally doable. That the telluric currents are the way our radios work as he said they are. And so many more unbelievable things. As I see it Nikola Tesla was the greatest mind to ever have walked the earth. Greatest scientist hands down. What a shamefully tragic loss for all of us humans. This evil world and its money tried to snuff him out completely, but his reach was too extensive Everyone alive should thank him sincerely, yet barely anyone knows who he is. Without his unrivaled imagination and foresight this world would be ruled by barbarians for another 2-4000 years. If any person reads this and has never looked into Nikola Tesla, I highly recommend it. Hopefully people can learn to think again, to think originally. You sir are proof that his legend remains intact. Even though he himself scoffed when the "Tesla Coil" was how people knew of him. He was quite a personality. People nowadays have no balls like he had balls. To attempt what every single person believed utterly impossible, that's what I'm talking about. As you said if you immerse yourself into something and neglect all of the other things, anything is possible. Again sir, Great work. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Wow, dont know how this has only 10k views, i would be expecting 1M+ for a video this interesting

I'm currently building a Tesla coil right now. I've ordered the magnet wire for the secondary, I have my power supply and capacitors. The first 4 minutes of this video answered all the questions I had. Thanks a ton!

Great job! That looks awesome 👍

Well done! I got my primary of about 9 turns looking pretty good. I used 6 mounts instead of 4 and the had smaller holes under the big half holes so you can zip tie them as you go. It goes much better starting on the outside and working your way in, you really have to massage the smaller turns in carefully. I'm halfway through my first scratch built coil, finally got the parts for building a terry filter to protect my absolutely badass 10kv 100ma NST! :D

😂I only got circuits in college. The information and references, even experiences during R&D, awesome video. Copper tubing requires a lower temp, most likely Butane, and maybe plumbers solder.

0:25 you nailed it man. Anything could be done when you put your mind to it

Sweet!

Thank you this has been very helpful! Definitely subbing.

Oh, man, you're taking me right back to highschool. Except I never dared to use MOTs, just stuck to NSTs. I even built a synchronous rotary gap!

Great job 👏

Awesome.. Loved it

Excellent

This is a great content and I liket💖👍

Great Channel 👍

Good job bro . ..i have an idea awesome .. 😊😊😊

I found out about this channel from your parents. Great job

Wow nice neon sign :))

Man so cool I want to build one

You are great.....

Kudos on your project here. Kinda made me want to do something original. I wonder if there is a way to make ball lightning with that..(?)

I want to build a smaller SGTC, using a 2-4kv neon transformer as a starting point. I live in an apartment and it can't be too powerful. I know they are expensive but I love spun aluminum toroid, which are not cheap. When in doubt, consult styropyro....Super Smart, but Super Cool Dude!!!

I remember struggling in physics electricty back in highschool and I was doing electronics as a hobby long before. I swear some questions are misleading, structured poorly and no real life practical use.

The video is very helpful! But can you show the electric system that powers the coil?

This is cool, can you provide all the parts and circuits?

17:20 man i wish my family reacted like that. I built my little drsstc after playing with flybacks for a while and got a "thats cool". It probably didnt help that i made musical flybacks and I was showing them off every step of the way lol...

Well played! Hilarious and yummy little one... gives lots of hugs and kisses... Thanks for being adventurous and attaining to greater things! Cheers!

Nice

I wonder if filling the tubing with sand or ice would assist in making smoother bends. I once wound a secondary that size by hand. The Popular Electronics magazine suggested using a lathe, but my bank account declined the suggestion. I hope you don't get tired of the compliment, because your video production is top quality. Great music selections.

Would you mind explaining how your primary tap works?

can you do a vid on how to wire the transformers together? Theres zero videos on how to do this for some reason and no one agrees on whether to wind them in parallel or series...

Holy fuck that picture is sick

Badass

Good deal. One thing I saw that you could have changed. The copper comes off the spool already bent. You were taking it off the spool then bending it the opposite direction. If you would have worked with the bend that was already there, you would have had alot easier time.

Do you think an ionic drive could work if it was a stabilized plasma torus, all you do is create a tiny delta in the energy distribution to make the torus rotate, which could propel a craft in space because there is the corona energy loss that can be utilized.

Dude......which type of transform you have used?......how many capacitor had been used and there values of each capacitor.....can u explain the lower portion?

where do you get your power from? do you just plug it in a wall socket?

I imagine it might have been easier to make the primary less squiggly if you had a ton of little spacers with just 2 holes each, or even just half-holes, sorta like a H with thicker center bar and rounded upper and lower openings, and you added them along evenly spaced along the length as you wound it up.

Does it also work for phone charger?

How did u build or where did u get your propylene capacitor bank? And how many capacitors did you get in total?

Need to show how to build the electrical component end also...

How many feet of copper tubing did you used

use brazing rods no flux for copper. faster than flux and soft solder

Hello!!! With 3 MOT... What is the power consumption from the mains? I would like to use 3 MOT like you, but I only have 3kW available in my house. Thanks a lot !!!

Could i please get a better explanation of how your mot power supply unit is wired?

Big congrats! Looks very similar to my SGTC construction. The only difference is that I couldn't afford CDF caps so I used wima caps which worked quite decent. The metal bolt to support secondary looks questionable as arcing and significant change in secondary inductance can occur.

Hi I'm building one next month I have a 60 cm x11 cm coil with a 40 tor would you be willing to show the transformer wiring I'm use (mot) transformer s and would like to ask you a few questions

Hi I,m just starting to build a Tesla Coil, On the Capacitors, Will a Couple door knob capacitor,s ratings of 20,000 volts and Rca 5642 Half-wave Rectifier vacuum tube work also,for Dc voltage. Thanks for any Help

How much money did it cost you?

use it as a speaker^^

Would it be safe to assume one wouldn't 'feel' anything when touching it with a fully grounded glove?

See, when I did this, my parents banned me from doing electronics because they were scared of things they didn't understand. And they weren't willing to learn.

Yeah, guess I’m making a slayer exciter again 😅

Does this lightning machine sound loud enough to scare dogs when they are constantly barking?

How do you build the spark gap u missed a few steps ?

Can I use a microwave condenser instead of this capacitor system?

8:05 what is this music

How can I find this Tesla coil builder discord channel?

Can i buy one???

I dont understand how Telsa figured this out haha

this is literally an exact copy of my first ever tesla coil lmao

Amazing work but Those tight wraps at the end will screw up everything. Man I'm a dick

Cost of this ?

Use it backwards.

copy everything from styro make video !!

Don't build it, but you'll get rich for showing the world you doing it.

They did that for political isues they did to me many times is all about politics

how do you see the secondary inductance in java TC? i cant find it

Are you from hawaii?
