1.75kV 650kHz Tesla Coil

513

10:22:33

Edit: Removed the 100ohm resistor. Now it has a higher frequency and voltage but a much distorted wave. The output voltage is pretty much directly proportional to the input voltage.

I don't really know for sure, but I think it has to put out much higher than 1000 volts to ionize the air around it and produce the arks that you would see

Ahhh the ol' good slayer exciter! I've made some great 7cm sparks at 80V with something like this but with an interrupter

A tesla coil usually has a low coupling coefficient, like 0.2 to 0.4, remove the 100ohm resistor, it's only wasting energy and also remove the 100fF cap

What's the interrupter do?

By the way, what's with the freaking cuss-word dude???

Basically when you make a tesla coil resonate(specially with this slayer exciter circuit) there is a peak of voltage that makes a bigger spark than the others and after that peak the voltage goes steady on a lower value. The interrupter basically turns the tesla coil on and off taking all the peaks and so making a much longer spark!

What about this, read short description http://everycircuit.com/circuit/5294239717261312

Talking to me or wtfcircuit?

He’s not talking to anyone specific. He’s just been posting that word on random circuits. I’ve already reported him for this behavior and his other insulting behavior.

I'm unsure that 'reporting' actually does anything at all.

On topic question: Arc welding... Is this not a continuous spark?

zorgrian

I realise that a continued spark or arc does not possess the same EM field as there's an absence of rise and collapse of energy. However, Tesla did transmission of 'useful' quantity of energy using very high voltage arcs.

Perhaps the instabilities in the arc caused some electromagnetic radiation? Either that or it was flicked on and of quick enough that by the time it turned back on after turning of the plasma wouldn’t have had time to dissipate.

I was asking hurz because of the description in his example circuit with his little side comment about not reading comments carefully enough, I already know about carlos's stupidity. Also, I'm pretty the developer has half-given up on everycircuit, he hasn't been regularly updating the app. That's my opinion anyway

@jason..., how is the coil wound? Toroid? Coupling between coils and windings... How are these factors addressed?

hurz

I dont expect to much feedback, cuz he didn't made it in real live. Anyway, thats ok since hes quite limited in material, even in this case it would be possible.

@Jason9, try purchasing some components from Mouser electronics, they have many components for usually a pretty good price (and better rates for higher quantities), they even have an app for it, (this is the android version though): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mouser.mouserApplication they regularly update the app too, but I will say their shipping prices are not the best, but their professional.
