ThePaalanBoy I would agree with you on their explination of it. I love the Geek Group and have been following them for years, but these guys have done a much better job of designing and the build of the coils. Primarily because this is all they do, and they have done a great job of it. The geek group have many more things to do, thus less time spent on HV. But TGG is great at that as well. :)
They do seem to know their stuff, but I was almost positive that Asian dude says, "testicle," every time he says, "Tesla Coil." Lmao I may or may not have smoked some bitchin' herb just before watching this. Heh.
I'll never forget the day, some 40 or so years ago, when I built my first Tesla coil. I had nothing but written instructions on how to build it that I had clipped from an old magazine. I used an old 110volt chainsaw blade sharpening motor to fabricate a rotating stop gap. Ten (6) oz Coca-Cola bottles I used to make capacitors with. For an emergency overload spark gap, I used two pewter figurines. One was a traditional wizard character holding over his head like he was challenging God, a long staff. The other was a lizard hominoid grasping a sword pointed toward the sky. When voltage spikes occurred, which was often, the electrical discharges that were destined to burn out the 12,000volt neon sign transformer I used to power the coil, would safely discharge from either staff or sword to a grounding point. Without any adjustments to anything, I got three to five foot of brilliant arcs visible in daylight. When operating in the dark, there were hundreds of arc streamers, not visible in daylight, that literally enveloped the room. After realizing that these smaller arc streamers had been using me as a ground all along, I decided to try and make friends with the large arcs. I gradually moved closer to the three to five foot long arcs and they did exactly as I predicted. The large arcs started discharging into me. The sensation of being struck with so much electrical current I wouldn't call painful but neither were they pleasurable. Uncomfortable would be an accurate description. The basement shop I was in had fluorescent lighting. I had to remove all the fluorescent tubes as every time the Tesla Coil was energized all the fluorescent tubes would light up when switched off. I performed many experiments with that Tesla Coil. I learned that holding something metallic in my hand as the large arcs struck it instead of directly striking my bare hand, completely eliminated all discomfort previously felt when being struck directly. I also found that by holding a fluorescent tube in one arm while moving my other hand closer to the toroid, acted upon the tube like a rheostat. The closer my other hand got to the toroid the brighter the tube illuminated. I found that when the long arcs were striking me, reaching over and touching someone else caused both of us to experience a much more uncomfortable sensation than taking direct strikes. The only time that I received and severe shock was when I made the mistake of getting too close to one of the transformer leads. Though heavily insulated, the voltage was more than the sufficient to arc through the wire's insulation. What really surprised me about my Tesla Coil was how loud it was and how much it smelled. I would often get headaches while running the coil. Once I installed an exhaust fan to remove the ozone I no longer got headaches. Later I found out that the ozone headaches were nothing compared to the soft x-rays I received while operating the coil.
Arc attack does a great job at demonstrating what can be done with High Voltage. One of many incredible things! They are based out of my town: Austin, Tx!
14:55 "if we charge this thing all the way up it would easily put a hole through the ceiling...we've learned that from experience" - that got a good laugh out of me.
According to their website ArcAttack are going to be at the Bay Area Maker Faire this weekend (San Mateo, May 17,18). I definitely want to see them perform. Kudos and many thanks to Norm for bringing us this video.
Smart of them to use fibre optics for communicating with the coils, if they used twisted pairs or any solid metal wiring, it would not be able to communicate at all thanks to the EMI's produced.
ThePaalanBoy I guess it does that as well, But iv'e learn't that fibre optic lines are used for data transmission(networking) in factories because of the large interference's that are caused by electrical machines being coupled to copper wires through magnetic induction (ie: cat5)
ThePaalanBoy It is true that a fiber optic line is used for EMI reasons. The electrical noise produced by an operating coil is massive. I can't take photos with my Samsung Galaxy S3 because the capacitive touchscreen locks up instantly. WiFi also seems to get knocked out, and if I hold my oscilloscope's probe in the air a few metres away I get a signal that is several volts peak-to-peak. If your oscilloscope can pick up a huge clean signal without even coming near the circuit, then there is a hell of a lot of power being radiated. It is true that a fiber optic line can fix issues with ground loops and operating circuits and different potentials, but most of the DRSSTC circuits I've seen simply use the fiber line to inject the audio/interrupter signal. If you used a copper line instead then you risk killing all your electronics if the coil directly strikes the signal cable. If you had a copper line plugged into a laptop to control the coil, then you also risk severe burns and injury :)
I built a Tesla coil 3 feet tall in high school about 1966. It was a lot of fun to impress my friends. The arc would puncture right through the glass on a light bulb. I only would run it for a few minutes at a time because it knocked out TV reception (pre cable) for a couple of blocks and the ozone became noxious quickly.
10:09, I like how the parts to make one of these costs well over $5k but youre using a harbor freight $2 volt meter (free with a coupon) I know because I have one.
I've watched Tesla coils being made but they took them off of youtube. They also had videos of magnetic generators that generated its own power and ran all by itself.
Wow. These guys are great with Tesla coils. I'd like to see them add a few Van deGraaf generators and work with the Hutchinson effect. They would be great at it because they are so good at tuning their coils.
That is so cool, I'm a Ham operator, X Military. Now what you do is change it up a little, If you add an antennae to the top of the coil say 100ft out in the air then The objective is to tune in to the 60 cycle energy that is everywhere visavee the power companies. you might need a little parallel capacitance on the coil to get to the 60 cycle range and start to receive the radiant power.
I propose that any tricks involving changing magnetic fields to induce currents that in turn create opposing magnetic fields that repel objects like shooting the aluminium ring, tearing the can or just have a magnet fall slowly through a copper tube should be called... Lenz Flares.
I would think that you could change the "Pitch" of the coil by oscillating or changing the length of the coil column. In other words in the coil could be moved up or down to change the Frequency of the arch at the time that its produced. It would also be more visually interesting to watch as the coils raise up then lower to produce different sounding notes as they are played. The longer the coil the difference in the magnetic field Stronger/Weaker the Higher/Lower sound produced at that time. It should still produce the same Arch effect but simply Tune the notes due to location on the coil by placement. Also enclosing the coil will help to better direct the magnetic filed/electron wave up out of the top of the coil to produce better sound. Not sure if I am explaining this correctly but that is how I see it working. As I said being more visually appealing, interesting to watch instead of just 2 coils on a stage arching at each other to the beat of music.
“Reverse of what a normal transformer would do” “Transformers can step up and down” “The primary coil and the secondary coil. How are they connected and how do they interact?” “So they’re actually not connected.” Casually walking around in background of other interviewer 7:36 eating.
I was wondering how they got midi data to the coil in one piece, as I figured a standard coaxial cable would recieve far too much interference. This is where fiber optic comes in. useful info
i have no education in electricity, have study metalwork (welding, metal turning and mechanics) are a student in 3DS Max animation and design for Optimar and not started my study in engineering yet and i understand most of the stuff ';. ) btw if you are interested in tesla coils check out TheGeekGroup her on TH-cam, they got a high voltage lab, they tell how tesla coils work and how to build one on your own ';. )
What engineering degrees do you have? I don know that unless you go electrical engineering, classes won't cover much beyond basic semiconductors. They are just using a big variable frequency drive as a Class D amplifier to modulate the air around the arcs like speakers. The transistors pulse width modulate the DC that powers the resonate L-C (inductance and capacitance) tank circuit. The midi tweaking is more to make it sound pleasing and get better dynamics.
I love his practical knowledge of his subject. So much knowledge. I'd love to know his educational background. I wss a digital design engineer. And they have some digital control circuitry, but the resonant transformer high power circuitry is a big different. Beautiful.
incase anyone is wondering ive learned that using one xor gate you can make an ocilator by applieing a constant voltage to one input and then atatching the output to the other input please give me any information if you try this as I have not done this yet I have just done it on powder toy which is a fluid sim game and is really cool I recommend it to anyone who likes to test electronics or other things.
"it's FAAAAAAIRLY complicated! First of all, we use MIDI files" Lololol I know there's way more too it, I'm not being an ass. That just gave me a giggle
Tesla used Earth's natural energy to produce electricity through the coils. He grounded the coil to the Earth and pulled energy out of the atmosphere in turn the coil itself would produce mass amounts of electricity.
I think it's funny how whenever the tesla coil guy points so does the host, like: "yeah, right, the-the bank of transistors, and yeah, the uh...capacitors hooked in series with the primary-- swirl-- I mean coil, yep. Right, I know exactly what he's talking about." What a puppet show these Tested gets are.
Nikola Tesla didn't use any metal fence, the volts would hit him and did nothing to him, so we must not be replicating his technology in the same way, plus if you study his work in the late 1890's he shows technology through his patents which have transistors but he didn't call them that
theres basically two types of tesla coils, Spark Gap tesla coils (SGTC), and Solid State tesla coils(SSTC). the first tesla coils where made by tesla and they all consisted of sgtc's. thats because there where not any mosfets, igtbs, or transistors to make it solid state. now that there is that kind of technology, its used more commonly, and they have SSTC's
Idk anything about electricity but you said that the coil overload and the energy gets out in the form of those lightnings but what happens when the two lightning connects to each other ? Where does the energy go ? And what would happend if you kept pushing those energies to each other to the limit ?
I would drive it at 40Khz, look at how loud the loudest pop, and quite by controlling pulse width. Then feed it binary number to control precisely the pulse width. 256 steps of loud to quiet, then 16 bit. The distance can be adjusted to the resonant frequency but for what percent of time is it on? Loudest pop to quietest. Not off. A crackle that's heard to call zero. Rapidly changing duty cycle, not frequency. If anything, it's fed a square wave to insure each peak voltage is the same.
So when you turn the aluminum ring into a elctro-magnet instead of you blasting it into the air isnt there a way to control the amount of current going to the coil so that it could float in the air?
i know that for the electric car Tesla you need a charger with alot of amps for the car to charge faster, can you creata that charger youre self ? like a Diy ?
you could, but if it were to fail and discharge the transformed electricity into the Tesla it could kill the car, and because its your own charger, you wont have insurance
hence promising, there are some diy projects a person could try with capacitors, but even elon musk concedes they won't be replacing batteries any time soon (the consensus that i could gather (remember) was that they could be paired with batteries to help compliment on another
It is voltage, not amps really. 240 volts is what your range, a/c, or dryer run on and getting an electrician to install this would be pretty standard. You can get 480, but it's a bit harder since the utility company will have to be involved and they might not approve (apparently they reserve this for special purposes) 480 cuts charge time down a lot more than 1/4. It's something like less than an hour vs all night for 120.
Yes you can DIY it but practically it would not be worth it. Voltage and Amps are the opposite sides of a see-saw you can increase the voltage but that lowers the amp side accordantly. The size of this see-saw would be measured in Watts, and there is practical limits to how many watts(per time period) you can get from your power company without upgrading their equipment to going into your premises. If a tiny charge time is your goal and money is no object the best way is to Charge a large stationary battery pack continuously then charge your car from this pack as it can "dump" the power(watts) much faster then you utility company can supply(this is what Tesla do at their superchargers stations). You will still need a better charger(or multiple smaller chargers as Tesla do in their superchargers). Remember a charger is more like a nozzle of a hose, it controls flow but does not generate it itself.
Great to hear people who seem to really know their subject go into some of the technical details of their builds.
i think TheGeekGroup did a better job at that, about their Tesla Coil ';. )

Too bad I didn't understand a word they said.. >

This was an impressive story
This is the way.
So now you don't need a flashlight in the dark, you merely open your eyes wide? 😎👍
You won't get X-rays if you're discharging through standard pressure air
Arc attack does a great job at demonstrating what can be done with High Voltage. One of many incredible things! They are based out of my town: Austin, Tx!
These guys know their shit! Really gave allot of good information, not sure the interviewer understood it all but it was very useful.
14:55 "if we charge this thing all the way up it would easily put a hole through the ceiling...we've learned that from experience" - that got a good laugh out of me.
Same here. Making mistakes is also a good thing , it is how we learn. Well as long as said mistake doesn't kill you.
7:30 DC? You're using Tesla's most famous invention with his enemy's direct current? Blasphemy! ;)
Good catch, lol.
how can a tesla coil work with dc?
what many dont know is that tesla found very strange phenomenas while experimenting with high voltage dc
power inverter
So it's like: what a stroboscope does with light, the big transistor does with electric current?
Are you aware that your closed caption is reading TESTICLE instead of TESLA? Caused quite a hoot in the education department here.
Haha
😂 they turned off cc now
Nice
I’m literally crying laughing right now
Great interview with such concise qualitative narratives by the guys being interviewed.
According to their website ArcAttack are going to be at the Bay Area Maker Faire this weekend (San Mateo, May 17,18). I definitely want to see them perform.
Kudos and many thanks to Norm for bringing us this video.
That guy is so much smarter than he looks.
He is genius
Welcome to science really
Weren't you ever taught not to judge a book by its cover
Eli Treasure Hunt it’s all about what’s on the inside
your just a turd
Smart of them to use fibre optics for communicating with the coils, if they used twisted pairs or any solid metal wiring, it would not be able to communicate at all thanks to the EMI's produced.
the fiber optics are used to prevent short circuit in other circuits then the coil part itself
ThePaalanBoy I guess it does that as well, But iv'e learn't that fibre optic lines are used for data transmission(networking) in factories because of the large interference's that are caused by electrical machines being coupled to copper wires through magnetic induction (ie: cat5)

Yeah that's what's going on the Myrtle Trees.
6:16 I didn't see the first time I watched this, the fluorescent lights on the ceiling flashing to the arcs
Pretty good special effects. The CGI is very convincing.
You taking the piss or..?
it's kind of nice to have a guest who shuts down some of norm's shit
Very interesting video thank you for the hard work Mr. Chan.
Man, those are some smart dudes. Never heard of them before but I am definitely going to look them up

If I’m spending 5k on a part, you better believe I’m cutting costs where I can.
A satisfying and detailed description, excellent.

I need to go back sooner than later...
Awesome amount of information here! Great questions asked 👍
Something sensible is created with passion.

When do we get to see and hear the coils in action?

I propose that any tricks involving changing magnetic fields to induce currents that in turn create opposing magnetic fields that repel objects like shooting the aluminium ring, tearing the can or just have a magnet fall slowly through a copper tube should be called... Lenz Flares.
The best part was 14:40 where he said and this aluminium electromagnet may crush your head 3,2,1 😂😂😂
Awesome video!
Tesla coils not only sound awesome, but they LOOK awesome. C'mon the look like they're from the future.
waterlubber yuss you were on a diff vid to do with tesla coils i think XD i think i repld to that 2

Actually, they're from the past. :-)

This is beautiful
Clearest explanation ever of how a TC generates a note. Great
“Reverse of what a normal transformer would do”
“Transformers can step up and down”
“The primary coil and the secondary coil. How are they connected and how do they interact?”
“So they’re actually not connected.”

I feel dumb. I'm just going to leave and go guess the last 3D printed Mystery Build.
I was wondering how they got midi data to the coil in one piece, as I figured a standard coaxial cable would recieve far too much interference. This is where fiber optic comes in. useful info
man that was sooo close to his ear. a few more inches and... this would have been the most metal video they ever made.
science rocks
I have 2 degrees in engineering, and I only understood about 1/2 of what he was talking about :/
and...
Keith Ward I agree with you
I haven't even finished my engineering course and I understood all that they were talking about. (I do electrical, so that may be why)
i have no education in electricity, have study metalwork (welding, metal turning and mechanics) are a student in 3DS Max animation and design for Optimar and not started my study in engineering yet and i understand most of the stuff ';. )

That was very interesting. Thanks!
incase anyone is wondering ive learned that using one xor gate you can make an ocilator by applieing a constant voltage to one input and then atatching the output to the other input please give me any information if you try this as I have not done this yet I have just done it on powder toy which is a fluid sim game and is really cool I recommend it to anyone who likes to test electronics or other things.
3:07 *Say goodbye to AM radio in a 20km radios XD , I am pretty sure that FM and Satellite TV can be interfered by the Coil*
4:14 *Yes I knew it , I have made tesla coils and I know for a fact that in interferes whit every thing , spatially amplifiers , laptops and radios*

Lololol I know there's way more too it, I'm not being an ass. That just gave me a giggle
All the fun you can have with Freq drives.
Beautiful!
Fantastic video. Thanks for uploading. Love tesla coils. And odd sounds. Hell yeah.
i really think these can be powered by solar panels and produce energy for rural/suburban areas
My wife: But why though?
Me: You wouldn't understand, It's arcing love
I just noticed "ark attack" is a play on words of "architect"
holy cow you're right
Or "architec" from hermitcraft 6
Im amazed by this guys, GOATS
try to stop in between 13:24 and 13:25 it looks really cool
hey one way to stop copyright infringement since these coils produce massive EMI
Seems with the amount of emi and spurious emission using microcontrollers in or near to control it would be challenging.
Tesla used Earth's natural energy to produce electricity through the coils. He grounded the coil to the Earth and pulled energy out of the atmosphere in turn the coil itself would produce mass amounts of electricity.
😲
That was just way too awesome!!!
This is amazing 👏
Okay but other than making music what makes a tesla coil useful? What is it used for?
What would be the maximum number of synth "voices" someone could discern a tesla coil producing?
Mostly square wave and a square wave. And square wave.
Didn’t understand a single thing he was talking about but still cool
I think it's funny how whenever the tesla coil guy points so does the host, like: "yeah, right, the-the bank of transistors, and yeah, the uh...capacitors hooked in series with the primary-- swirl-- I mean coil, yep. Right, I know exactly what he's talking about." What a puppet show these Tested gets are.
What do we need to adjust in this set up to power a home?
Very cool stuff. Question: How low can you go with a DC pulse. 3-4 Hz? Any iron in the core? Cheers...
Kel Gordon there’s no core. It’s hollow and uses air as it’s core
Nikola Tesla didn't use any metal fence, the volts would hit him and did nothing to him, so we must not be replicating his technology in the same way, plus if you study his work in the late 1890's he shows technology through his patents which have transistors but he didn't call them that
Hilarious that the safety guy is doing his work with a beer at his work bench. :p
I would've been even happier if he just says he likes Tesla coils because its metal as fuck with that sweater :D
I'm not an electrical engineer, not even any kind of scientist, but from your description, it isn't a Tesla coil, it just looks like one?
theres basically two types of tesla coils, Spark Gap tesla coils (SGTC), and Solid State tesla coils(SSTC). the first tesla coils where made by tesla and they all consisted of sgtc's. thats because there where not any mosfets, igtbs, or transistors to make it solid state. now that there is that kind of technology, its used more commonly, and they have SSTC's
resonating cw switch!
It's not a real magnifying transmitter
@@corbonzo1 There are more types but that's neither here or there. Good description.
Only thing I would have recommended was doing it at night would have put on one hell of a light show good job shocking!
am interested more about that magnetic field
Norm is so awkward.
Come at me bro!
That was our homeschool science for the day!
Idk anything about electricity but you said that the coil overload and the energy gets out in the form of those lightnings but what happens when the two lightning connects to each other ? Where does the energy go ? And what would happend if you kept pushing those energies to each other to the limit ?
Maybe portal 👽
I would drive it at 40Khz, look at how loud the loudest pop, and quite by controlling pulse width.

Great video but every time you said Tesla coil fast I thought you were saying testicles :)
I have no words how #cool this is. Music sounds #awesome . :D
This is so epic.
Best video 😊
Does ArcAttack have a youtube channel?
It's like The King of Random meets ElectroBOOM with extreme results x1000
Why hasnt anyone put this tech to real use yet? There has GOT to be a way to make home devices that amplifies our energy very cost effectively..
im sure the military has made some fancy use of it. as for civilan use, perhaps you should research the history of tesla and westinghouse
Bobina de Tesla é sempre incrível.
Abraço
@ElectroBOOM ... Now that's an arc!
So when you turn the aluminum ring into a elctro-magnet instead of you blasting it into the air isnt there a way to control the amount of current going to the coil so that it could float in the air?
so i can have a radar jammer, wireless electricity and kickass music in one device?
Can this Tesla Coil generate an electrical current that can be used to power things in a home?
No.
I would use 432 instead of 440...much calmer.
Any commercial use from all this trouble?
Good tesla coil
They should have Tesla Coils for the Undertaker's entrance. Cant say it looks safe though.
how many watts do you need to power something like this?
6:00 "it sounds like a Pop"....
i know that for the electric car Tesla you need a charger with alot of amps for the car to charge faster, can you creata that charger youre self ? like a Diy ?
supercapacitors are a promising tech for that
you could, but if it were to fail and discharge the transformed electricity into the Tesla it could kill the car, and because its your own charger, you wont have insurance
hence promising, there are some diy projects a person could try with capacitors, but even elon musk concedes they won't be replacing batteries any time soon (the consensus that i could gather (remember) was that they could be paired with batteries to help compliment on another
It is voltage, not amps really.
240 volts is what your range, a/c, or dryer run on and getting an electrician to install this would be pretty standard.
You can get 480, but it's a bit harder since the utility company will have to be involved and they might not approve (apparently they reserve this for special purposes)
480 cuts charge time down a lot more than 1/4. It's something like less than an hour vs all night for 120.
Yes you can DIY it but practically it would not be worth it. Voltage and Amps are the opposite sides of a see-saw you can increase the voltage but that lowers the amp side accordantly.
The size of this see-saw would be measured in Watts, and there is practical limits to how many watts(per time period) you can get from your power company without upgrading their equipment to going into your premises.
If a tiny charge time is your goal and money is no object the best way is to Charge a large stationary battery pack continuously then charge your car from this pack as it can "dump" the power(watts) much faster then you utility company can supply(this is what Tesla do at their superchargers stations). You will still need a better charger(or multiple smaller chargers as Tesla do in their superchargers). Remember a charger is more like a nozzle of a hose, it controls flow but does not generate it itself.
very cool good show thanks
