Hi,
There are many good sites about coils in general. Perhaps some of these
will assist you further.

And then many of these as well

I personally found the Neon Sign Transformer to be difficult to find as
well. I ended up buying one on Ebay for less than $40 including
shipping. I have since been able to scrounge another locally as you may
also be able to if you are persistent enough. One thing to note is the
whole process, both learning and components, is not cheap or easy. You
have to really want to make it happen, at least in my case anyway. Mine
has been 2 yrs in the making!

I have tried to make my page (still in development) easy for beginners
yet fun for anyone. Have a look if you like..

If I can clear up anything else feel free to E-Mail me directly or here
on the forum. I'm no theoretical electrical genius or mathematician as
many here are but I have learned a thing or two.

Good luck,
Jim L

Hello all,

Despite my activity and intrest in Tesla Coiling i hav
enever actually built a coil, or even seen one in
person.  I am constantly revisiting basic underlying
concepts behind tesla coiling, because i have never
had any formal education on it, like a book or
tutorial   The concept of a flat tesla coil seems like
a
good idea...  Any good sites that explain flat coils
in further detail?? my main barrier from building a TC
is just the HV Transformer...  I have no place to get
a neon around here, anyone have an nst that hasnt been
fixed that i can depot and repot to start coiling? 
Anyways, in a pancake coil wouldent it be best to wind
the wire into a spiral with the insulation on the top
and bottom fo the wire, instead of with a big roll of
tape around the wire??  Also, Is there really any
special frequency that tesla coils operate best at or
is it just that 200khz is a nice frequency to transfer
energy to the secondary???

thanks
