Looking forward to part 2! Maybe a vacuum tube one in the future o.o But there again, I'm not one to talk since I haven't even finished my oscilloscope build yet ^.^'
@@Plasma.Prince aww dang, I bet you'll get it though! I've been trying to learn a lot more myself, I recently joined the Technical Family discord server. A lot of really smart techie hang out in there if you ever needed extra people to talk to about what to get it working. Not assuming you haven't figured it out yourself btw, just thought I'd share that info. I'm sorry it's not working, but I bet it's been a good learning experience!
You could try to build a hfvttc. A hfvttc is almost the same as your rf teslacoil, it just uses vaccume tubes instead of a mosfet. There is a simple circuit using the GU-50 pentode (you can get it on ebay) that is self tuning, that means it will adjust its frequenzy to the resonator coils resonant frequenzy (like your sstc). Here is a link to the circuit on youtube: m.th-cam.com/video/sYoxJdCz9no/w-d-xo.html Note: The circuit that I linkt above, is mutch more dangerous than your circuit with mosfets. I will repeat again, the circuit with vaccume tubes uses a high anode voltage of 1200v and currents of 200-400mA. These voltages and currents are LETHAL. Also, depending on the plate power supply you have a high voltage to ground at the flame electrode and from the plasma flame to ground, touching the output of the osccilator, even when there is no flame can be LEATHAL. Thats why you always use something insulatet, like a screw driver. The flame is also very hot and can give you very bad burns. The flame can also prodouce toxic gases. If you build it, then here are some info on the coils in it: The L1 and L2 both are about 20-25 turns on 50 mm diameter tube, L1 can be any wire you want, but L2 must be thick enough to withstand the heating from the contact with the flame, I used 1.5 mm diameter enameled copper wire. All right, here all all the info you would need to build it. If you do just please Keep the safety in mind, since it is a dangerous circuit. Great vid and good luck tuning your circuit!
I would love to do that someday to get a larger flame, and I'd be able to run it for longer amounts of time since it is oscillating off of a tube rather than a sensitive MOSFET.
You are right, your circuit is very sensitiv and there is a fine line between it working and the mosfet breaking. Your circuit is really a pain to tune. Also you would need a bigger tube than the GU-50 for a bigger flame.
Nice workbench/setup,it's so much better then mine
I love this tesla coil ⚡
I'll love it when it works hahaha.
Lol

I might consider just replacing the whole circuit with a vacuum tube circuit, STILL doesn't work haha.

If you needed the link btw
Tuning is so much harder than U expect. I used RF air variable caps and tuning was a breeze.
Also I made mine musical
@@juntendo6104 A musical HFSSTC! Those are interesting... is it interrupted or plain audio?
@@Plasma.Prince Mine uses tl494 to convert analog music signal into high frequency square wave form.
which drives mosfet that does bus voltage modulation
Its interupted at around 40-60kHz

You remind me of styropyro or keystone science
I thought this is what you were making based off your insta posts
Yeah haha, now I don't have to be careful about getting the coils in the photo, for doing that before posting this video would give it all away haha.
Where's part 2 please?
