Hi all, Just wanted to show some pictures of my first tesla coil: a VTTC powered with an old RCA 813 pentode I found at a thrift shop. I’m a little disappointed in that I’ve only been able to generate 10 inch sparks, while pulling about 1KW total. From the reading I’ve done I was hoping I could reach beyond a foot with this tube. https://www.flickr.com/photos/32900248@N05/albums/72157674973589860 <https://www.flickr.com/photos/32900248@N05/albums/72157674973589860> Enjoy the photos, feel free to ask me any questions, and please, I’ll be delighted to get any criticism or advice on how to improve this thing. It’s been a fun project, I’ve much enjoyed all the learning, and I now know there’s a lot more to Tesla coils than I had first and naively expected.
