I would say that you are lucky the coil has not worked so far, your first
thing to do is to close that spark gap to about .045 before you destroy the
NST. Then maybe download a program like {TESLAMAP} so you can check
everything out.

Subject: [TCML] Tesla help?
Hello,I am working on a senior project along with my father who is an
electrical engineer by building a tesla coil. We are following instructions
from the instructables website. We have everything hooked up and wired, and
yet it is not working. I would appreciate any help or tips that you can give
me. I have a link to a youtube video of what I have so far here: Tesla Coil
Not Working. My hypothesis is that the capacitors may be doing something
wrong, but I am not sure. Thank you for your help.
