- ►WHAT IS THIS
This video is the ultimate guide for how to make a slayer exciter scaled for both beginners and experienced electrical hobbyist.
Although I made a Slayer Exciter Tesla Coil in the past, there is still much to talk about. In this video, I will cover the schematic, physics, DIY build, testing, and demonstration of this circuit. Hopefully it will answer many questions you have about it. If not, at least it is visually pleasing.
►TIMESTAMPS
1:05 - Schematic & Physics
4:03 - DIY Build
7:38 - Testing
9:50 - Demonstration
►MATERIALS
10AWG Wire Roll
26 to 32AWG Wire Spool
Power Supply/ Battery (9V to 30V)
TIP31C NPN Transistor (Several)
47000 Ohm Resistor
►EXTERNAL LINKS
Here are some other Slayer Exciter videos that I think did a good job:

►FAQ
Q: What power did you operate at?
A: In normal operation, it drew about 2.5 amps at 15 volts. It is roughly linear as voltage is changed.
Q: Can I use a ___ transistor?
A: Check the datasheet online if one exist. If you are still not sure or are unfamiliar with reading datasheets, ask me and I'll try to help.
Q: How many turns on the secondary?
A: I used about 1500-1800. I suggest a minimum of 800 and a maximum of 2000.
Q: Not Working. Help Plz!
A: First, that's not a question. Second, do I look like some sort of psychic? I promise that this circuit works. In general, you may want to troubleshoot these:
* Make sure that there is electrical contact between wires.
* Check transistor datasheet for the pins. (base to sec., collector to pri., emitter to ground)
*Make sure that the pri. and sec. coils wind in the same direction or else flip one.

Now THIS is how a "how-to" video should be done! Talking, Explainations, Schematics as well as a demonstration. unlike those other videos on TH-cam where nobody speaks or explains what their doing.
I’m glad you think so!
When I tried to make this Slayer circuit for the first time, I found no good tutorials, so I figured I’d make one.
That's very true, this video is the best.
So good, it Hertz.
Plz .....
Plz shut the fuck up
no it was amazing
Hertz so gooood , Come on baby make it hertz so good
Watt do you mean
I was ur 100th like lol
This is a very underrated channel
You deserve more subscriber
Shocking he hasnt attracted more followers. This channel has such high potential.
If I were in it to be famous, I'd be a let's-play vlogger.
@@BlueprintScience hello bro, currently iam working on this project,can you please help with the specification of primary coil wire.
@@Neet578 Not much to say; most things would work fine. I’d suggest 10AWG wire or 1/4” copper tubing.
@@BlueprintScience thanks you so much..
One of the few videos that actually explains Tesla coils and shows u how to build them
Actually everything was clear, and entertaining as well. Great job!
That hertz pun was actually pretty good XD
Absolutely brilliant! I chanced upon this after I had gone to all the trouble of making and filming mine! One of the best explanations of the Slayer circuit out there - perhaps a mention of the secondary to ground capacitance that aids resonance might help but by no means a criticism! Keep doing what you enjoy!
Greatest tesla coil video on entire internet i found 👍
This is the first video I have watched on your channel. I look forward to many more.
Finally someone who explains everything! Thankyou
Just excellent and your electrical puns were very amusive... Simply great content and really worth the time!
Just WOW!!! I love how you have placeholder times for each section. Great work! Thank you for helping me with my daughters science project! Thank you thank you, don't stop!
I’m glad I could be of service. Good luck with your science project!
What was the punishment for the kid who played with power lines?
He got grounded.
Thats deep(6ft deep)
@@marsdraskovic339 I thought it had to be deeper than that .
is it better than beeing come "live"?
At least he wasn't charged.
@@zenithparsec Charged with resistance.
That is the BEST explanation I have Ever Seen ....WELL DONE and Thank you for Your Work, You should Be a Professor in Science .......
Bravo,you have introduced it in classic way same as classic times in 70's.
Thank you so much. I love these videos, learning all of this new stuff is now my favorite way to pass time and I'm so relieved you still post videos. Please continue with these insanely interesting projects and the explanations. Thank you!!
Thank You, Zach. I will.
If I may be so bold, I think that the best is yet to come...
VIDEO CORRECTION:
This is a small detail, but it should help your designs work much better. As my switch, I use several transistors in parallel with each other. The issue is that the transistors do not divide power equally. Due to thermal effects, one transistor will take on more load over longer periods of time as temperatures diverge. To get around this, use a "Darlington Transistor Configuration." It's really easy and an internet search will show you what it looks like.
I don't mind can u make its diagram and upload it on Google drive or somewhere... It will help me i need to make a Tesla coil for my school project... And need ur help
@@FutureOfGaming You didn't like the diagram in the video? There are many diagrams for the same thing out there; do a google search for "slayer exciter circuit" and the image results will have many well drawn diagrams for you to steal... I mean borrow.
@@BlueprintScience ima asking for Darlington setup

Wow, that link was absurdly long. This one is better: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darlington_transistor
probably the best tesla coil vid i've seen so far . many thanks
It’s a close call with Plasma Channel, he makes some good coils too
@@BlueprintScience yes but lacking as good explanation.
From all the videos i sean this is the one that encouraging me to start building my tesla coil.,you are a excelent tutor you explain so well.,thank you
omg i never know how much i could love a persons voice.
your voice is amazing holy crap
i wish you had more subscribers you explain everything nicely subbed!
I guess now I do. Thanks, Masha
@@BlueprintScience i’m kinda late but i have a question, for a darling tom configuration, i can use as many transistors as i want right? not just 2, and will tip31c still work for it?
This was great, because it stayed so simple and was a really good introduction. If you or anybody really gets serious with Tesla Coils there are loads of TH-cam Videos, and material on the web. You'll read that the voltage gain is independent of the turns ratio and is dependent on the Q parameter of the primary and secondary at the resonant frequency. Qs/Qp. Q is the frequency characteristics of an LC circuit. Normally you'll have a large C in the primary circuit, and what you're doing with playing with how many turns of the primary is altering the primary inductance to match that of the secondary's coil, and top load, which acts as a capacitor in the secondary. I'm rusty and haven't gotten into enough detail to be anything but dangerous. But look at the tons of material out there are. Your video was great because a lot of the tutorials will assume you know material presented here by heart, and can start out pretty advanced.
And also you can't build up an "AC charge" with a top cap. You can only build up an DC charge and you would need a very high voltage, very high frequency diode to do that.
Then there is the notion of intrinsic capacitance of a sheet of metal or a coil of wire, where the capaciance exists even if the sheet of metal is in outer space millions of km from anything else. The physics books I've read explain it mathematically but not conceptually.
I just finished reading "Tesla a man out of time" You actually look like a young Tesla!
Yes, I have been using parallel transistors for a while now. They help with a multitude of circuits, from tesla coils to audio amplifiers. Now I need to build a new slayer exciter with a better primary coil. I think my main issue with low power is the high resistance of my small gauge primary coil.
you explained the best out of all
Thanks man
Your puns make me want to *coil* up in the corner and cry.
Ohm my God. :P
With a joke that bad you deserve to be *grounded*
Very nicely explained. Thanks a lot for making this great Video
Building my own Tesla coils, your video was very informative. Carry on the good work. Telluric current transmission is the next step. Onwards and upwards.
8:46 I know how you can solve that problem! You have to prevent the transistor from saturating which, due to the Miller effect, makes the transition to the cutoff state slower. You can do so by placing a Schottky diode between the base and the collector of the transistor, with its anode connected to the base. This will make sure the collector voltage never falls below 0.7V - 0.2V = 0.5V, preventing saturation.
Why not just use a triode?
Amm can u explaine
Ahhhh..I was still tryna figure out about the Darlington configuration with 3 transistors, that I now see another workabout - with a diode !
Hello matheus,
Which schottky diode should I use ??
1N5819 -1A ?
1N5822 - 2A ?
SR360 - 3A?
SR 2100 - 2A 100V ?
THESE 4 are the ones available to me.
@@megaraitei I'm also interested in improvements to the schematic, since my Slayer Exciter (2 transistors in parallel) simply can't work more thant 5 minutes. Too much heat.
13:12 It's a homobipolar motor, LOL. Nice demonstration.
So glad I found this channel! Your very informative and hilarious
Very informative! Loved the Star Wars allusions as well!!
ok u got me there! I actually started losing faith in humanity because i could find no video that combines a musical and a spinner tesla coil and playing usmrr at the sametime, but could u actually upload a longer version of it please? great job thanks
Restoring faith in humanity: one 80's reference at a time!
Maybe I'll play that song for a while when I actually make this tesla coil musical (which it is not right now). I can't play it for too long though; I don't want a copyright claim.
Maybe... this will be ok !
🤔😀✋
th-cam.com/video/8lEJpfApwoo/w-d-xo.html
Nice output! How much power are you pumping into yours? Thanks for the mention in the description BTW!
Howdy Max,
In normal operation, the SSTC draws about 2.5 amps at 15 volts. From there it is a roughly linear relationship. To get those large sparks, I cranked it up to 60 volts for about 10 seconds which drew about 10 amps (600 watts).
Also, I'm happy to link people to your video; a few years ago as I was just getting started with electronics, I referenced your video to help me build my first Tesla Coil. I liked it a lot! Thanks!
Mine draws about 7 watts at 15 volts input and is more than 90% efficient. Nothing gets hot at all, and there is a 1cm discharge. I use BJT not Mosfet.
Very well presented and easy to follow. Good work! 😉
One video and I'm already hooked. Cool video overall!
To protect the transistor from overheating, I've found it useful to add a couple of LEDs from the base (after resistor) to ground. When the base is pulled low it will be a negative voltage and thus ground will be positive (relatively).
Definitely this should be done (every other slayer exciter shows a diode there)
7:39 mind = blown!
Amazing video thanks for that!
What an excellent job you did on this video, I think every high School physics class should watch this because they could learn so much. It is extremely informative, really funny and just an excellent video because you explain it all so well. So thank you for another job well done.
Sure thing. Glad you liked it!
Explanation 1:05
Build 4:03
Testing 7:38
Demo 9:50
How much volt can give it
Anywhere between 9 and 12 volts for the basic circuit
Between 12 and 30 for a buffed circuit.
Enjoyed this one Dayton.
Awesome explanation thanks for sharing this!
you look like tesla
Unlimited Poweeeeer !!!!!
Excellent video! Thanks for the detailed information. 👍
np :)
Very good presentation. Thank you.
its funny that you mention a band from the 80s when slayer and exciter were thrash bands from the 80s🤣

At last i am informed enough to attempt a build. If all go well, i notify you of the results. Thanks alot !
Please do. Glad I could help.
Literally this is the best and easiest explanation i could find of internet Thanks Alot .
That's exactly what I was hoping for when I made it. Good luck with your design.
great way of presentation!
This is the perfect sized project to help people who are not techs to understand electronics and doing a tesla coil is very historic and if you get zapped, it's not too bad, besides healthy respect for electricity is good for everyone. Very good.
That was awesome!!
This is a cool video👍. I have now made my first Tesla coil and now I plan to slowly scale them up.
Excellent!
I don't know how many likes should I give your content. Thanks for the best video ever on TH-cam on Tesla Coil. Nicolai Tesla would be very proud of you mate :) Keep up your good works !!!!
Very good explanations dude.
That was a unique presentation brother.... Superb.. wish u keep on more videos like this.... :))))
Totally addictive watching. You have a subscriber.

3:58 definitely didn't go to waste mate. Great video!
Very good tutorial..thanks
Great Vid bro 💪🏻🔥
Left a like for the pickup line. 10/10
I enjoyed you're video tutorial and found you to be simple yet informative offering applicable approach to the concept with an endearingly sweet sense of humor and jest that satisfied my curious inquiry and enamored me with such a cute and dorky face haha. I wish there were more guys like you, in real life and off the computer. Thank you for the video, I look forward to watching more with you in it now that I am a subscriber. 😊
Great vid! 🔥🔥🔥
love your new video. your production has really improved. Cant wait for your next video.
*request* will you do a video about high voltage power supplies (flyback transformer, voltage multiplier, marx generators, ect) explaining how they are made and how they work and what makes each one different? Id think thatd be a cool video.
I've already started the next several videos. Once they are finished up, I'll see if there is anything that I can dig into.
Loved the Star Wars' quote! 🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The only channel that shows a transistor can be used as an oscillator. Love the nerd humor!
