Re: How do you tune a tesla coil?
Hi Powdermnky007,
The primary coil and primary capacitor form a tuned circuit that will
oscillate at a given frequency. The secondary coil and the top load form
another tuned circuit that will also oscillate at a given frequency. The
big trick is to get them bother running at the "same" frequency. I would
sugest the many programs that do these calcaulations for you or you can use
the formula's like the ones at:
