Re: [TCML] 60/50Hz Tesla Coil?

Hi Greg,

Remembering that f=1/[2pi*sqrt(LC)], if you want f to be 1/3000th of a regular tesla coil, then the product LC must be 9,000,000 times bigger. Try figuring out the physical sizes.

Subject: [TCML] 60/50Hz Tesla Coil?


So I just built my first solid state coil this year, and in thinking about
he nature of primary circuit driving, I got wondering, wouldn't it be
ossible to design a Tesla Coil in which the secondary resonated at (or
ear) 60/50Hz? The primary coil could be plugged directed into the wall with
o need for any driving circuitry, save for maybe a reactor to limit the
urrent.
Thoughts? Has anyone tried this?
Cheers!
