Hello all,
Does anyone know of plans for a tabletop Bi-polar coil? I have found
lots of videos but not a lot of hard or modern info. I have the Boy
Electrician book plans. Suppose it could be modified. I would like to
build one with a cylindrical secondary, not cone shaped.


Brian Basura has a small table top bipolar on his website. (or at least, did as of a few months ago)




Also I know this has been asked before. I need to put in a ground rod
for my present coil. My concern is that any practical location is near
the mains ground and copper water lines or the ground cable would be
very long.Any suggestions would be appreciated.


Put a screen/counterpoise under your coil and be happy. You don't need an "earth ground" for a coil.



Thanks,
