Greetings to you... FYI, a few tips: 1) Your NST may be 360 VA (not Watts!), and you should measured current draw & transformer primary voltage for an accurate idea of actual power expended... It may be MUCH more than 360 VA, depending on your tank capacity. 2) Professional TC builders have established a reasonably accurate estimated electric field strength of 200 kV/m. 3) Secondary output voltage can be approximated by rule of conservation of energy on the primary & secondary capacitances, assuming 75% of the energy is transferred (the other 25% is lost for obvious reasons. So V₂ ≈ 0.866* V₁ * √(C₁/C₂) 4) Secondary voltage can approximately be measured, by inserting a wide-band current transformer in the secondary ground connection & measuring the current I₂... Measuring the secondary inductance L₂, and measuring the resonant frequency (with a frequency generator) to get ω (2* π * f), output voltage V₂ ≈ I₂ * ω₂ * L₂ 5) You are using a fixed, quenched spark gap, so your break rate is fixed. A much more effective break is a rotary spark gap (preferably using a synchronous motor if NST’s are HV power source). 4 pole motors themselves have 30 breaks / second & 2 pole motors are motors have 60 breaks per second, and the number of electrodes on a single break wheel can multiply this by 2, 4, 6, etc. Other breaks have been used on high power SGTC’s but are hard to build & very expensive! 6) You have breakout on your top load, so I would suggest making it larger. This will detune your system, so primary tap will change. 7) You can estimate your maximum theoretical output spark length in inches by: Length ≈ 1.7 * √(I * V) where I = Line current (amps) and V = Line voltage (volts) @ HV primary terminals... Hope the above was helpful!!! Best regards coiling!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Ahhh I remember my first tesla coil, I made it by hand 100% It was a Slayer Exciter Tesla Coil, and it built it when I was 10 years old. and I still am 10 years old. I'll never forget it. 7/5/2022

Nicely done! :)

How did you build the tesla coil shown at 3:56

You are simply awesome... These are some of the best videos online for someone who needs to understand and play with high voltage. Nice and crisp editing and content. Do you sell these as DIY kits ?

I want really make it. Can you make video about how to do this giant tesla coil pleasee?

Hey Jay! that's one beautiful coil you made. Awesome video, as always!

Are you able to make a video sometime on everything about how a tesla coil works and how to calculate and make your own, your content is very high quality and it would seem like you would be amazing at explaining.

I wish I understood this stuff better, but I'm just a dum dum tactical aviator. Still like watching it and learning what my feeble mind can absorb though! I'm jealous of what you electronics smart guys can understand. May be simple to you but not to me. We each have our specialties!

Where did you get that big transformer for the big tesla coil?

Very well done, concise without being too brief. Keep up the good work! :))

I learnt so much from this video that I could never learn in school and you explained is really well keep up the good work 👍👍

Thanks plasma channel, I playing with Tesla coils & having a Universe of FAN 👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤩

Love this Channel!!!!! It is put to together very well and Explained very well!!! Keep going Brother!!!

I love how he's replying to new comments on a 4 years-old video, good job mate

Great video man, you just earned one sub! Excellent explanation, keep it up!

Your best video ever by my choice. You inspired me to make similar Genesis tesla coil that also works at 360W, 24V 15A zvs driven flyback transformer with 30cm sparks. I'm great fan of your work sir :)

Could you make a video on how to build a genesis coil like the one you have here? You're a huge inspiration by the way! You're videos make me want to learn so much more about science and electricity.

nice and simple coil :-) i will be getting my coil up and running again soon to demo in October im excited as its been too long without some high voltage ! cheers dude and happy coiling :-D

Quickly becoming one of my favourite channels. Keep up the classy awesomeness!

Nicely done mate! that's a decent size coil! I Finished my secondary last week. It honestly looks about the size of yours, maybe slightly smaller I think it took around 12 hours straight to wind it (did it over 4 consecutive evenings, 3 hours or so a night). I'm still trying to work out what shape I should make the primary. Any advice would be sweet.

Wow The genesis coil is so beautiful ,I appreciate if you make step by step video about how we can make it, Thank You Jay💜👋🏽

Another great video. Keep them coming, Plasma Channel!

Would be pretty cool to see a video on that coil at 3:50!

Sir I just wanna know can u just explain how these huge tc works and some basics abt the circuit which it uses.☺

Great video, nice job on the genesis coil. Did you make that adjustable power box on the power cord? If so how? I need to make one for my projects.

Man, your channel is cool. I'm fascinated.

That's really cool man. I too love science. Tesla is one of my heroes and the TC is one of my fav inventions. Have a blessed day. Keep up your great work!👍🏼

2:45 It is always amazing when I think about physics and theorize something that might be possible and then see it being described by another person for example I thought well it don't take to 10% the amount of energy it takes to ionize to maintain the ionization of there so if you sent a secondary pulse through it it would go further

So cool yet so complicated I love it

Nice work dude

How do you change the resonating frequency of the circuit? Variable HV capacitors or "Tapped coils" Same as a. Hartley oscillator?

THIS NEVER GETS OLD 🌟

The arcs are very beautiful jay

I'm 15 and I just built a Tesla coil powered by a 12,000V 30Ma neon sign transformer and I'm getting 18" arcs out of it!

Very nice coil. Would love to see it complete with a spun aluminium top load though. I'm also using dryer ducting on my coil because it has an 8 inch diameter secondary and needs at least a 34" torrid which, being made of aluminum would be very costly. But they just look so nice.

Excellent explanation.

What did you use for a power supply on the medium sized coil at 3:50 ? I am designing a tesla coil similar to that size but I need a power supply.

Oh man, that neon sign transformer will never die, We have those here sometimes you just need something that isn't switchmode/protected to do the job.

From where can I get information to build one of these I don’t know how do you people build these.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But the secondary doesn't need to be a long tubular coil? If the inductance is happening it could be a flat pack coil. I noticed your primary is an upward cone shape though. Is that so that you get a focused inductance over a larger surface area. Or was it just esthetics? I have an idea for a smaller form factor tesla coil. But I want as big of sparks as possible with as low amperage as possible. So as too not hurt anyone.

Can you get the same light show with the 3v? Great videos 👍

do these extrem diffrences in loudness really had to be as you made the video ?

excellent work dude, but how can you get 240KV with neon transformer?, did you use a voltage multiplier?, do you have schematics?, thank you.

very nice, streamers are looking really good!

Jay in your next video can you show us how to make that big tesla coil please.

I subbed when I saw the cute 3,0 volt tesla coil video - that genesis looks awesome :)

Hi Jay, do you have plans available to make one of these?

Wicked! 🖤⚡🖤

Is there a way to calculate the resonance frequency and use that to calculate the required size of the primary?

I am also building ohne but i dont know Witsch capasitors i should use

Great job.

That is the magic of the design

Cool channel, dude. Subbed.

Excellent, thank you

gud one bro,,, keep going..

can you show us how to make that big tesla coil?

I got some good arcs, out of my coil, around 6 inch arcs. But I want longer. I think it is my homemade bucket capacitor that I built. I wanted to know what capacitors you used so I can get them and try them out.

Show the circuit diagram plzz and which type of spark gap do you use

How can I match the resonance frequency?????

Pls make a mini coil (another coil than 3V tesla coil)

Can you explore atmospheric energy and possibly amplifying through resonance to a usable amount?

Do you think you will ever do a video on making a DRSSTC?

Subscribed

Very nice, but I am sure that by tuning that coil you will be able to get even larger arcs. I have mutch smaller coil and power it with 170 watts and get arcs the same size as you do with 360 Watts. Try moving primary tap and see where you get biggest arcs. Also number of spark gaps is very important, if you could get your coil to work with single gap, it would give biggest arcs because there wouldbe very small amount of energy lost on heat...

Wow! this guy should get more subs. Only 3k subs not enough.

nodal means octave(s) higher or lower ?

Thats so cool

Why no DRSSTC setups?

dude i am speechless

Hey Jay. My Tesla coil does a few things and i dont know why. The arcing is very poor but the top load looks like a giant purple Iris. Also it won't light a florescent tube. Any ideas? Any info is warmly welcomed. Thanks Jay

Can you create a tutorial for the construction of the tesla coil that we see at 3:34? (p.s. amazing video!)

Interesting one!

Haha, very good video, haven't seen something as good in a while! Also, I don't know if you were concerned about that, but these pictures of Tesla sitting near a working coil are actually double exposed (the photographer made Tesla's photo first, and then captured the image of the discharges on the same photo, creating an illusion of Tesla actually being there); Tesla knew the dangers of his work

Hello Jay here's a video idea, I have seen lots of big vacuum tube tesla coils! but I have never seen a mini one. So what if you built a mini tesla coil, that runs on a small vacuum tube. Anyway, thats the idea. Thanks for reading. :)

I think that was less than 360W because the power factor of neon transformers is usually way lower than 1.

Sir please make this type of big tesla coil

Nice,can there be plasma ball

Can you please maybe make another video just showing this thing off. It’s beautiful and I’m going to make one just like it except it’ll use 56kv so it should be very impressive......

I was hoping you were gonna play Genesis on your tesla coil.... Still a pretty good video

Hi. It would be nice if you teach how to build one like this!

How do you tune a Tesla coil? I am building a spark gap coil and need help. Thanks.

Where is the secondairy of the Tesla coil grounded?

what is the out put voltage of your transformer and the specs of your capacitors please

How to make a plasma generator for a greenhouse?, i heard it can boost plant size significantly

Do you use a basic spark gap schematic or something more complicated? What allows you to have thousands of cycles per second when wall output is only 60Hz? Why were there so many cylinders for your spark gap? Were they just for tuning? what are your ratios? I want to improve my boring tesla coil or make a new one entirely.

Specifications of capacitors Jay ??

I'm New to tesla coils. I just built a small 12 - 18v tesla coil kit from eBay. You probably know the one that's very cheep. It's great but only gives of a 2mm arc. From videos I've watched I'm aware I don't have a top load. Can someone please explain the purpose of this, and how to add one

Would you get electrocuted if you touch the primary circuit?I know a 30mA NST won't kill you but what about the capacitors?

Can tesla coil be powered by a stator in a small engine? If yes can it be used as substitute for ignition coils? Perhaps it could be used for watersparkplug? What do you think? Your answer will be very much appriciated. Thank you.

How to make this

we need more Genesis coil... PLEASE

Will you show how to make completely .

Hey please bro upload a video to how to extend the spark .

I want to build this project, please help.

how to make medium tesla coil at home? Plese tell me

I love the way you keep it simple, for the simpler of us! Well done mate.

What would it take to make and power a full size Tesla coil. Something I can make in the driveway to light up the yard at my night.

Does this transmit electricity wirelessly?

how do Increase the break rate ?
