What would be the best way to ask for advice regarding problems with my
first Tesla Coil build?
When I first tested it I was getting some arcing from the lower aspect of
the secondary to the primary. I fixed the burnt insulation on the
secondary, coated the secondary with Polyurethane and added Plexiglas
sheeting on top of the primary. Now I am getting arcing on the top few
inches of the secondary to itself.
Coil Specs
Oil Burner Ignition Transformer
10kv @ 23ma
Static spark gap
Primary 14 turns 0.25" copper tubing
MMC 20nF
Secondary
4.5" x 19.25"
1085 turns of 26 gauge enameled wire
Toroid 4" flexible aluminum duct 20" diameter
Ground

Thank you,
David
