Hey,
I just designed a Tesla coil and am quite sure everything will work fine,
but before I spend the money I would appreciate it if someone would check
over my parts. Well, here are the parts:
26 AWG Magnet wire 1,420 ft- $25 (1,205 turns)
4" PVC pipe 24"- $10 (22" wind height)
14" x 4" spun aluminum toroid- $120-180
1/4" x 50' copper tubing- $40 (only using 35 ft of tubing for 10 turns at
34.2uH inductance)
1/2" x 10' copper tubing- $10 (strike rail)
12KVA 60mA transformer- $200 (input= 120V 60Hz)
(24x) .15uF 2KV capacitors- $150 (2 strings of 12) (25nf at 24KV)
Tungsten static spark gap- $60
Total- $645
Here <http://s9.postimg.org/go98y81fz/Coil_Model.jpg> is a scale model of
my planned coil plus or minus .001".
Also, could someone briefly explain to me how to make a simple safety gap?
Thanks,
Kuba Anglin
