Here is a video of it in action https://i.imgur.com/6e3g6KE.mp4
It stands about 6' tall powered by a 15 Kv 30 mA neon sign transformer.

Make a post about building this thing!

Looks about 84 bananas.

Does it do ultra death?

I never did get mine to work right. Not enough power.

It be cool in another post @op to see your Tesla Coil operational, like Nicolas famous picture sitting down in his chair under his machine.

You do realize lower freq tesla coils can cause some types of pacemakers to fail, right?
Lepercake
Does your neighbour have one so you're properly set up for MAD?

More than likely I would zap the shit outta myself with that.
critterfluffy
Which would kill you. Amps aren't the only thing that kills you, high frequency can cause an arc to burn you badly and kill you

Good info. I will avoid those like the plague!

Well, you're not going to turn it on???
charliekellyratkiller
powered with a neon transformer. that is pretty awesome! +1
KristusApollo
It is. Right now a 15 Kv 30 mA but about to upgrade to 15 Kv 60 mA to double the spark length.
critterfluffy
It shouldn't double spark length, just speed it fills caps unless I am remembering something wrong. It has been 16 years.
critterfluffy
Read a below comment, doubling the caps should be able to push through a higher voltage so it could double the arc. Organized design btw.
RisingSol
Now if the people in my physics club weren't such boring fuddy-dudddies i'd totally be building one of these.
critterfluffy
They are dangerous so only if your clubmates are responsible. Mistakes here kills. You can build a small one and keep it in a grounded cage.
RisingSol
It's more a factor of getting people actually interested. They say they want to build cool things but never actually want to put in the work
critterfluffy
Been in multiple clubs and that seems to be a common problem. 30 people but only like 4 ever do anything to help out.
jayelectricalspecialist101
Is that chicken wire your Earth?
KristusApollo
Yes. It's called counterpoise ground. It works just as well as the 4' of 1" copper pounded into the ground on the other side of my yard
jayelectricalspecialist101
Never seen it done like that before.. Thanks! Great design. How much Arc are you getting?
KristusApollo
On average 12 to 18" but at times it hits the ground "wire" that's just above the primary coil. Waiting on more caps to add as I have 1/2
KristusApollo
a transformer with 60 mA instead of 30 mA like pictured so that should double the spark length to 24" to 36"

Dammit. I wasn't quick enough.
Jakethesnake357
Electro-play? That's a new one on me. Ah, time to discover if I like this or not.....
LRWerewolf
Get either a folsom box or a med-grade TENS unit.

One pic? ONE PIC? what the hell op?! this is cool as shit, need more than pic!!!

Yeah like a moving bunch of pictures or something

Lol, I know, I know. I had posted it for a friend but out of habit clicked "Share to Community" hence why only one picture.

Whenever I played allies I'd always grab a soviet construction yard or something and build all the tesla coils
