Tesla coil project in Feb 2003 Everyday Practical Electronics

["Tesla list" <tesla-at-pupman-dot-com>]

Original poster: "Mark Hales by way of Terry Fritz <teslalist-at-qwest-dot-net>" <markhals-at-dircon.co.uk>

Coil based on the 555 timer, 2N3055 and car ignition coil to drive a coil
using a home made acrylic sheet / Al foil cap.
A nice complementry project to Nick Fields article that was in the same mag
several years ago.
People who can't afford a HV transformer and MMC or other pulse cap will
find this particularly useful.
Cheers.
Mark.
