Plasma Arc Lighter Tesla Coil DIY HOW TO - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

It was great working with you, Jay!

I wish my grandfather were still alive. He was a high voltage transformer engineer for Westinghouse and, when he was very young, he worked for Tesla. I sure would love to pick his brain about these projects while I build them.
💫i wish u could be like him
Same
I ho0e you become better than him
I would have loved to sit with him and pick his brain! What a cool story!
Wow, that is absolutely increadible.
This one is very interesting. The arc lighter is itself a tesla coil. Instead of a spark gap it uses a transistor with a DC power input (the rechargeable battery in the lighter) to form a high frequency self oscillating circuit to drive the primary coil of the transformer in the lighter. That results in high voltage high frequency AC on the output of the plasma lighter. This is why the plasma lighter could be used for the power supply for the lightning tower build (Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier). Now, since the output of the arc lighter is AC, you have to include the high voltage diode in your tesla coil primary circuit as a half wave rectifier because you want to charge the capacitor with a high DC voltage. So essentially the plasma lighter high voltage AC output gets rectified by the high voltage diode and charges your high voltage capacitor every half cycle. Once the capacitor voltage gets high enough to break down the spark gap, a spark jumps the gap and the gap becomes very conductive (almost like the gap was shorted). The stored voltage in the capacitor can now discharge across the spark gap and through the tesla coil primary coil. As that stored energy is suddenly dumped across your tesla coil primary, it results in an even higher voltage on the tesla coil secondary. Voila! A tesla coil powering a tesla coil! Very nice!
Does this mean that we could achieve double the power with a
FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER
(Cue Electroboom's rectifier man)
My favorite part is when he asked for donations by suggesting they will encourage longer, more frequent uploads. That's so true and honest! Much better than the manipulative ways other channel hosts solicit donations. 10/10 overall rating for this guy and his channel!
Beautiful build! There is just something so satisfying about tiny Tesla coils! Great job!
Awesome video! Really looking forward to this build. That was a pretty cool perk for being a patron too - thanks Jay!
HI Nigel, I'm glad the file uploaded correctly. I'm still learning the intricacies of Patreon! Thanks for your support.
I love how cool your devices look. You show everyone science can be so cool and fun besides being important.
Thank you

@@PlasmaChannel Hello sir! I have a really strong interest in building this style of coil for my dad, who is an electrician. I think it would be a great surprise for him. I was wondering if you could talk a little bit more about how you got the wiring done on the arc lighter at 3:30, and maybe a little bit about the specs of the insulation you 3D printed. Thanks, Declan.
Wait, is science important?!?!
Epic, easy to understand and smoothly edited video, as always!
It looks so clean and smooth, it’s beautiful!
Kinda like him
I've been with this channel for years Jay and I'm never disappointed. I really ought to make one of these someday as well as that lightning detector circuit, so cool. Thank you for another great video.
I really appreciate you being with me as I’ve grown. I’ve put out some bad videos, and I’ve put out some good ones. I always strive for the best I can do, knowing I have the support of people like you. If this is shareworthy, share the video!
@@PlasmaChannel Thank you, they're all good in my opinion. I'll be sure to share your channel whenever possible. Thank you for the comments, made my morning.
This is a pretty neat project, I love how simple these are to build in fact I built something not much bigger over a year ago but I used a small flyback transformer from a 5" tv set and just a simple mosfet driver to drive the trasnformer. I have also learned that you can use the inverter transformers from old LCD TV's as well which are not hard to come across these days. The arcs are about the same in size but have more thickness to them and don't dare to touch it lol. I am hoping to tweak the tuning a bit more in the future to hopefully get larger arcs. To power it I am using 3 18650's in series to get around 12V and what is really fun about something like this is how the principle of function pretty much stays the same once you have a HV source to work with.
Glad to see you back Jay! Another great video!

Great to see you back. Good little project there. This is one of the good things about the internet. Is channels like this. Always love your work.
Michael, thank you for such nice words. I appreciate it.
Arc lighter powered Tesla coil is a device that uses an arc lighter to create a spark that powers the Tesla coil. The arc lighter is connected to the primary winding of the Tesla coil, and when the arc is struck, it provides power to the coil. This allows the Tesla coil to create a high-voltage discharge, which can be used for various purposes such as lighting cigarettes or creating an electric arc.
The arc lighter powered Tesla coil is a simple and easy-to-build device that can be used for many different purposes. It is a great project for anyone who is interested in electronics or physics, and it can be used to teach basic concepts about electricity and magnetism. The Tesla coil can also be used for demonstrations or experiments, and it can be modified to create different effects.
Another great, clean design for a coil!!!
It's like Christmas every time you drop a video. I can't ever hit play fast enough!
Going back for a second watch!
Did you find any preference of one lighter vs another? Or are they all comparable?
Thank you so much! That means a lot!

This is the video I have been praying for. Going to build this ASAP! Thank you so much :)
Hi Kayla, glad you are inspired! If you need help don’t hesitate to ask. Two things - 1) the lighter easily breaks. Make sure you’re never touching a spark from the Tesla coil while also touching the lighter or the on off switch. 2) don’t run the coil more than 8-10 seconds at a time - it will break the lighter quickly if you do! Make sure the spark gap is no more than a mm, and you’re good to go!
@@PlasmaChannel Thanks so much!
Need more videos like this 💯 good job man 🙏
When you are hit in the head by the box delivery... I had to pause the video because I was laughing so hard.
Well done! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I looked away for a split second just as that happened! I could tell by the sound I missed something good, but kept playing. Now I need to go back and check it out...
Literally, a work of art.
That's awesome, thank you so much!
Cool Video , Its Really Informative
Im really a great fan of yours
LOVE U :)
Thank you
Some improvement ideas:
* remove the bottom conductor, it is acting a short-circuited L3 coil, and robbing the secondary of power.
* tune the primary to closer match the secondary. Not sure how 3nF and that small primary match up to the secondary, my guess is that the coil operates at 2MHz.
* try adding more turns of thinner wire. For a coil this size I would use 30AWG or as thin as you can tolerate. The current is low anyway so more turns will result in higher output voltages.
* Fatten the secondary a bit so each turn has more inductance and the larger diameter means better coupling between primary and secondary. More important with SSTC designs though.
Hi PM, thanks for the suggestions. The ground connection is needed to ensure proper flow through ground and air. Without a ground / counterpoise, the high voltage ground will jump to the primary circuit and burn insulation. Also, with no ground connection, the voltage output at the topload is decreased. Also, the two circuits are roughly tuned. The primary is just under 2mHz, while the secondary is 1mHz. They are at nodal frequencies and this coil is optimized for it's size. For the fatter secondary, those are usually reccommended for higher powers. This little guy is less than 15 watts!
@@PlasmaChannel Yup I'm aware, check out my most recent audio modulated SSTC! :)
Not saying to get rid of ground, just remove the large conductive plane, since the magnetic flux induces a current in it and it creates an opposing magnetic field. Check this video out to see what I mean: th-cam.com/video/sENgdSF8ppA/w-d-xo.html
Using a higher resistance ground plane will help greatly reduce the eddy currents. Or if the electric shielding isn't needed, then just have a ground lug and make sure to connect the ground. In your case, It's probably not affecting the output too bad given it's distance from the primary, but the eddy-currents works like electrical "friction" and that always that works against you.
Great vid BTW.
It really needs an adapter so you can olay music with it
@@DarkDragonEgg This Tesla Coil does not have the capability for audio modulation. There is too much noise and distortion introduced by the crude spark gap design.
as always beautiful work
Great revision to the original bug zapper one! Thoroughly enjoyed building the original so am definitely going to give this one a go!
What copasitors do you buy
This guy is going to be the Nikola Tesla of 21st century !
I can only hope!
Hahah
You mean like powering the whole world with wireless electricity?!
@@PlasmaChannel You are as far away as 100 years. I mean this is just a toy, like pulling a rabbit out of the hat.
Like your projects! What would happen if I used a 4" diameter hollow copper sphere I have? How did you determine the # of turns of primary and secondary wire to determine resonance?
Thanks, Great channel!
This was a great video. Keep up the classy awesomeness.
Looks, brains, and a people person.
Great show.
Jay, why the primary coil is at the bottom of the secondary? I know almost every Tesla coil does it this way probably because first design by Tesla was that way to avoid passing the power source long distance close to the secondary coil and risk discharging back to the power source (which can be avoided with an ugly twist of wire).. BUT if the primary coil goes in the middle of the secondary you will have a lot more coupling of energy between the coils, and this gives you more space to widen the electric tape insulator to cover almost all the secondary coil to void corona so there will be no need for the 3D printed large gap (which reduces the power transfer of course). Might be an interesting and simple test which makes your modified (E-Tesla) coil more powerful :)
The primary coil is on the side where the secondary is grounded so to minimize the voltage difference between the two and thus reduce the chance of arcing. You can put the primary in the middle, but then you'll need to make a ground connection in the middle too and you'll have both ends of the coil at half the "normal" potential
Increasing coupling does not necessarily increase performance. That very much depends on the resonance frequency of the secondary + top-load combination and the resonance frequency of the primary coil and capacitors. In this video, no attention is given to that aspect, but it should, as that is the most important factor determining the performance of the coil.
Then, when everything is well tuned, the best results are actually obtained with a coil that is not coupled at all. Tesla called that the "extra coil".
I am fascinated by this concept as a transformer of power but I can't quite comprehend any practical use as such . If a practical application could be disclosed it may help me to understand the value of such a toy. How would this apply to household use on a large scale ?
You hacked my ocd by spilling all that tea
Was a nice touch wasn't it?
You are litterally the best !!

This channel deserves more views
Tour videos are really awesome 👌 love your videos ❤️
Ok dude, the fact that your channel is as small as it is is genuinely unfair. The sheer quality and effort that is shown in your work NEEDS more recognition. Your projects are far better looking and work way better than any others I have seen on TH-cam. I know this because I have been watching this channel for like a year and a half. It was an instant subscribe for me from the first video I saw. In fact, the high voltage flyback transformer video is my favorite. And i ended up actually making one. Yes for those who are wondering, it did work. Good job dude 👍👍👍.
Ps: on mobile so spelling and grammar may sound weird.
TRE, thank you so much. That means a lot to me. I put a tremendous amount of effort into every video, and hope that the world sees my passion as I do. You can help the cause by sharing this video on social media / reddit. Cheers!
@@PlasmaChannel Definatly. Its definatly the least one could do. :D
love all your videos man😊
I have a lighter I got for Christmas a couple years back, the longest lasting cigarette lighter I've ever had. It lasted well over a year. Anyway, it's still works, although it burned the electrodes so badly, the plasma X, is now a plasma dot. So this is actually a perfect project for a lighter I just didn't have the heart to throw out because it was too darn cool. I want to thank you so much for dreaming this one up, this is a good one. Lifetime sub for sure.😁👍💯
Awesome video man!
I'm actually going to build a motorized bicycle with a big solid state tesla coil on the back by the exhaust pipe. Its going to be so obnoxious lol but so fun and it will easily be the coolest thing I will have made in my childhood. Thanks for all the inspiration over the years Jay!
Thank you jay nice tutorial..
I absolutely love it. I want to build one as soon as I have Tomy
I love your video man keep up the good work

Your friend is Portuguese!!!! He shipped the 3d printed parts in a CTT box (portuguese mail courrier) . Hello from Portugal and congrats for a very instructive channel :)
Yes, he is from Oporto. Cool! Greetings from USA, the country currently on fire.
I will have to try this eventually! I have 2 of your old style with a few modifications of my own and i love them. I have people ask to see them all the time and they are great when my friends bring there kids over. I have been wanting a bit more power though for a while.
Also if i added a couple capacitors would that give it a little more power aswell
this is great, thanks for telling/showing us,.
and they are not polarized, so they are great caps../
this is all *so cool*
Greatest thing about this video for me is seeing Jay spill his tea when he is thinking of something else. “Great minds spill alike.”
