hello all. why is it necessary to use caps ? and what exactly determines its capacitance?(NST - Turns - etc)why? is it any formulas for this relation? i saw as i increase the capacitance sound of my coil becomes treble and the spark gap wouldn't fire in same distance and had to reduce(i think it has effects on freq) tanx for answers
Start on this page for an overview of your tesla coil: http://www.richieburnett.co.uk/parts.html
From that page, you can "drill down" into each component, including the
capacitors.Jon
