Welcome to the list Rob,  Nice results except for the
exploding components.

My website is at:

You may find something of interest there.

Hello,

 My name is Rob and I am new to the list and fairly new to coiling. 
Here is a
picture of my first coil made from junk. It is powered by a 6Kv NST and 
I used
two sheets of aluminum foil with overhead transparencies for the 
capacitor. I'm
not sure on the secondary wire gauge as I unwound it from a fan motor. 
The
toroid is a wheel from my deceased R/C plane covered in foil tape.

Here is a picture of my second attempt at coiling. This coil is wound 
on a 2" by
16" acrylic tube with 1100 turns of #27 mag wire. The secondary is 16 
turns of
#12 copper wire around a 4" acrylic tube. The capacitors are two 4" by 
18" PVC
leyden jars from my Wimshurst machine I made. The toroid is two 4" 
metal disks
from an old hard drive. It seems to run better with a small top load... 
The
spark gap is a multi copper tube static gap and is all powered by a 
12Kv 30mA
NST. I'm not sure if it is as tuned as it could be since I don't have 
an
oscilloscope or a frequency generator.

I am currently in the middle of two other coils as well as a few other 
of my
electrostatic an tea laser projects. This is a pic of a larger coil 
wound on 4"
by 24" PVC with #26 High Temp mag wire (the brown stuff). The picture 
might look
like it's Red, but I think it may be due to the fluorescent light. I 
plan to
power this one with my 12Kv 30mA NST.

This is my failed attempt at a solid state tesla coil. These are just 
pics while
still under construction. I dont have a picture of the coil but it is a 
4" by
10" secondary wound with #30 with the primary wound directly over the 
bottom of
the primary. I powered it up and a few of the components exploded. I 
have put it
aside for now...
