Great video! I had a great time collaborating with you, can't wait until next time! ;)
I had an exceptional experience working with you, I was able to learn so much during these months!
Wow! Nice video. Keep up the great work!
great video
Very simple!!👍👍👍
plasma channell?! I am so happy for you now you are going to get a lot more subs
I'm very excited as well! Stay tuned and watch it happen, the premier starts shortly!
Great stuff man. Subbed
Excellent video collaboration! However I do not recommend using light bulbs as a ballast for constant use, this is basically a high voltage input slayer exciter. Using an inductive ballast will allow the coil to actually resonate within the sine wave due to the use of a very capacitance cap (which is a must!). That's why you're getting more constant arcs out it. Try it and see what how it works for you.
Thank you very much! This one actually blew up when I plugged an inductive ballast into it, but it was my fault for turning the pot all the way up haha. Currently working on a better one with a half bridge of IGBTs, which will be another future collab video!
plus you should have used a FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER instead to have higher efficiency
Haha ElectroBOOM reference. As much as I would have liked to have an excuse to say FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER in this video, this circuit overall works better with a puny single diode rectifier haha.
Use thicker wire for primary connection!!!! And why zener in the drain it should be on the gate to clamp the voltage to protect the gate. Nice video though! Hope you reach 100subs!
I have the zeners attached to the source, but thanks for the advice! I'll take as much of it as I can get.
@@theplasmaprince8651 I'm surprised that it still worked. The zeners are probably shorted so it can carry current. Gate of mosfet wont last for long
@@juntendo6104 Yeah about that... the circuit already melted heh heh...
@@theplasmaprince8651 Oh Rip. Removing the primary cap, lowering the primary coil position and adding gate protection/gate driver will help run better and longer
ooh I'll try to watch this when it premieres.
edit: I completely forgot about it, so I didn't see the premiere
But what about protecting the transistor's drain from inductive spiking from the primary?
Hmmm, I'll have to research that... Thanks!
Do you just jumper the positive and negative from the power bar to the capacitor? Where do you bring in power?
Confusing. At the beginning, in LabCoatz example schematic, the waveform clipper (2 Zeners with cathodes facing each other) is between the Gate and the Source. In the whiteboard example, ithe waveform clipper is between the Source and Ground, which looks completely wrong. Methinks those zeners (and lack of protection on the Mosfet gate) are going to release the magic smoke very soon.
They already did haha. In fact the whole circuit did. You will be able to see that happen in my upcoming video tomorrow! Also, LabCoatz added a 1-2K resistor between gate and source, our zener placements were the same (At least I think...).
Where is your follow-up video? Also, why don't you specify few details -like what is the AC input voltage, mains 120V?-, so people who like to recreate your project can safely do? Are the 2 Zener diodes on Source correct? Was this exact schema used and what was the result? Did it work?
The follow up is taking longer than expected but it is being shot. The input voltage is actually 120v half wave DC, which is essentially American mains going through a single 10A10 diode. You can use the two zeners on the source or just one 12v TVS diode. And yes, I used the exact schematic shown, and it did work. I had a 300W ballast on it though, other than that the schematic is exactly the same as the circuit built in this video. I reccomend watching Labcoatz's video, as he goes into more depth than I do in this video.
@@theplasmaprince8651 Thanks for your answer. Can you explain how you connected the 300W ballast in this case? What does the ballast do in this case? (I'm sorry but I never seen any ballast used in Tesla Coil experiments).
@@tonysfun I just hooked it in series with the circuit, before the diode.
Quick tip if your using high voltage don't create the circuit on a breadboard use a prototype board
The primary voltage is not that high, but thanks for the feedback!
why?
hello I can only do 1cm plasma
at 150W what do I have to do to get more plasma?
I have 450 secondary windings of 0.4 mm
and primer 5 turns 2.1mm. That's how I get the best results.
Can i use this circuit in India Mains power 220v AC for input
i am from nepal and i become happy to see youtuber of my age hope we will be friend
Well I'm glad I didn't fire it up before I read the comments here . it would have been nice to know from the video that it did not work without making changes . what is used for the ballast?
I used a 300W light bulb. Start with low wattage ballasts, and slowly go to a higher power ballast. Labcoatz went as high as a 1000W ballast, but he blew up a LOT of MOSFETs making this circuit so be careful!
Nice!... But if you did the secondary coil a bit shorter an with a bigger diameter (just half an inch more) you would have had some longer sparks 👍
Thanks for the feedback!
@@theplasmaprince8651You're welcome! I'm alwys happy to share my experience :)
How much is your ResFrequency?
goog coil.. like it
Lol plasma Chanel reference 😂
Nice video
its amazing!!!! I love your videos, and I really enjoy them. Keep up the Awesome work!
I subscribed ❤️
So if you wanna get rich build a portable rechargeable lighter using this
is it true that tesla coils affect time, for example if you drop something near them will it take longer to fall?
No, the only thing that might do that is a wormhole or black hole but I'm not Stephen Hawking so idk haha.
Oh thank
What about the rectifier diode?
It's a 10A10 diodie linked in series with the live wire before any of the other circuitry. It can handle up to 1,000v at 10A.
@@theplasmaprince8651 TY, I'm a total newbie with electronics. There's so much to learn n remember of what does what n goes where and why. All that without getting zapped or blowing a breaker. J/k. Thank you for taking the time to respond, really appreciate it. I got mad respect for you just for that.
@@fernandocasas3291 No problem, just hollar if you have any more questions.
When or have you made a video for the interrupter?
There is no interrupter, but there will be a better DIY SSTC video coming up!
Great post! Very cool and detailed.
Hey plasma prince, great video, do you reside in Orem or Provo? I live in Springville, I was wondering if you can show me how to make a gate driver for my Fets. If you get time please PM me, your channel is really great, and I would appreciate any advice you might could give me I'm a go for a veteran I did three tours in Iraq but I'm home now so if you get time give me a holler thank you
I'm still fairly new to Solid State Tesla Coils, but my next video will cover this topic. Basically, you'll want to drive an IGBT half bridge with an 18v square wave signal. Course you'll need a gate drive transformer with two secondary coils of the same size in order to isolate the IGBT's from each other. You'll have about 8 turns on the primary coil of the GDT, and 12 turns on the secondary coils of the GDT. Each secondary driving an IGBT. That is, assuming you have a 12 volt signal going into the primary coil of the GDT. Not quite sure how to determine which core you'll need, but I'm using a 77. Hope I answered your question, if not keep an eye out for my next video.
pathetic spark, how hell could be satisfied with that
C'mon bro at least be polite about it.
