Re: [TCML] How temperature effects the tesla coil...

[plasticanvil <plasticanvil@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jim I'm in 8th grade. we have a small voltage meter but are unsure how to use 
it as the last one got fried by our tesla coil. We also have a friend with a lot 
of electrical equipment but i do not know what he has so for now we just have 
the small meter. Our spark gap cannot be changed because the tesla coil will not 
work unless the spark gap is in the exact position it is in now (small enough to 
slide a post card through). Our tesla coil is a table top version made with a 
bug zapper it's only 14" tall.

Not noticeably..

I would pick some design variable of the Tesla Coil... gap distance, tuning 
point, etc.

Are you in middle or high school? that helps us suggest something with 
appropriate complexity.

What sort of test equipment (if any) do you have access to?
