By: ChrisKarr. on 28 Nov 08, 05:45:16
Yes. There are 1,000,000,000microfarads(uF) in one farad. There are 1000nanofarads(nF) in 1microfarad and 1000picofarads(pF) in 1nanofarad. This means that there are 1,000,000picofarads in one microfarad. So .001microfarads is 1nanofarad, and 1000picofarads are 1nanofarad. In other words, this means that you're correct.

would a 1000pf or higher capacitor be just a .001uf or higher capacitor? thanks

12kv at 60ma would be great for a Tesla Coil. But yes, it can be dangerous if you aren't careful. Just take the right precautions for working with high voltge and use common sense (be sure you completely de-energize the circuit before you touch anything, etc) and you'll be fine.

great video and I have a 12000 volt 60ma transformer, could you use that or would that be lethal? thanks

Any way of making a low-voltage one of these? Like... powered by a re-chargable battery with a very high mAh rate?

Nice one.

By: Xxero0. on 03 Oct 08, 20:19:58
if i make a 120v tesla coil (to save money) using 300mA and make it, ummmmm, lets go with 'pocket sized'. would still work, but just with an output of 120v? and is there any way to make a transformer?

also, do you recommend using high frequency chokes?

You really should ...
By: ct92404. on 02 Oct 08, 00:00:41
You really should use a real iron core transformer, not solid state. Solid state transformers are easily damaged by the high frequency kickback from a Tesla Coil. There isn't really an MA limit...you just need a minimum of 6kv at 20 milliamps. The only other problem is that if the current is too high, the spark gap will get too hot and it might not quench right and will start to fire rough. Above 60ma and you will definitely need some kind of air cooling to blow the gap.

You should try to ...
By: ct92404. on 01 Oct 08, 23:57:04
You should try to avoid kinks and wind the secondary as neatly as you can. But it shouldn't be a big problem, especially if it's lower on the secondary winding, where the voltage gradient will be lower. If you have a lot of kinks or overlapping turns higher on the winding, closer to the top, then you might get some corona. But I don't think you need to worry about it.

Does it matter if the secondary coil has small kinks in it?

By: budsiskos. on 30 Sep 08, 20:36:19
does it mater if the transformer is old style or solid state or wide range voltage. also, is there a Ma limit?

By: ct92404. on 22 Sep 08, 23:46:28
You have to be very careful about what read, because there are a lot of rumors and myths about Tesla. Orignally, what he was proposing was that power could be generated conventionally, and then transmitted at high frequency, without wires, the same way radio signals are transmitted. In later years, he said it might be possible to collect energy from the sun or cosmic rays...and of course we can do that now with photovoltaic cells (solar cells).

By: AlanSessler. on 22 Sep 08, 22:13:02
I read a story where a guy put a coil under some city power lines to get free power and was caught. But since Tesla knew how to pull the power from ???, why would you need power lines? If this can be used as wireless power where do you pull the power from (free electricity train of thought...)?

You can use it to ...
By: ct92404. on 22 Sep 08, 19:31:47
You can use it to transmit power without wires, and in fact that was what Tesla was working on.

By: ct92404. on 22 Sep 08, 19:30:35
No. Because if you're a retard, you seriously have no business playing around with a Tesla Coil. High voltage can kill you if you aren't careful.

Building a Tesla Coil
Posted by: ct92404

Video duration: 643 seconds

Video showing the construction of a typical spark-gap type Tesla Coil. There was a lot of information and I couldn't cover everything in this video. So there will be more in a part 2. But this gives some basic info for building a Tesla Coil.
