Hi Medhi. I realized that you had an issue last time you tried to make a tesla coil that fits in a handle of a flash light. But i have the solution! All you need is: IGBTs from an induction coocker, 500V rated smoothout capacitors, diodes, 20k Ohm resistors, and some strong lion battery cells from a laptop battery, secondary of a tesla coil, in that case 1400 turns, a aluminum topload to make the voltage even higher, and a relay and a press button, and for last you need a pvc pipe. This tesla coil type is called a QCW tesla coil and generates more then a half million volts per buttonpress or if the relay activates. The way it works is that you have 240V ac, in your case 120V ac, and you will have to convert the ac voltage into DC. Then we connect 4 of these huge 500V capacitors in parallel to get the capacitance we need. We also haave to make sure that the relay has a controller circuit that turns it on and off depending on the variable potentiometer, to adjust how many times it should arc. We also must connect 4 induction coocker IGBTS with diodes and resistors. It's very important to have a pre resistance, to avoid the IGBTS to blow up. I also recommend to use a mosfet driver IC that sends frequency pulses to the IGBTS. If you're done with it, then put everything into the pvc pipe. After doing the primary, 15 turns, and mounted the secondary then you will be able to enjoy a half meter arc per button press! You don't need a magic wand😉 You can contact me at: theerro92@gmail.com My youtube: youtube.com/@the-erro1 Patreon: patreon.com/TheElectroExplosion I bought a membership on patreon patreon " ultra_booms" and written a message to you. Regards Frank Boned
2:09 I really like this moment. That pure joy in his face and voice when he sees the florescent light bulb shines shortly before going "OH FU-" towards his Tesla Coil magic wand burning, it's just brilliant
Medhi! The ferrite cores would be saturating, causing the inductance to drop substantially, pushing the circuit out of resonance. After removing the cores it's possible the skin effect is another limiting factor, as well as the obvious limited coupling. Remember the peak currents going through the primary is probably in the hundreds of amps or more, and losses are relative to amps squared, so Litz wire is what I'd suggest. I'd look for a really good dielectric and wrap the primary all the way up. Also with such a small capacitor with the ball bearing on the top, the Q of the circuit I'd expect to be wide, which is good for experimentation, but not great for efficiency.
Are you saying youtubers don't always succeed right away? You mean you can share a video of not getting everything you want from a project, just for us to learn from it? What a novel idea! (Thanks Mehdi!)
It's nice to know how the sausage gets made. Too many post something cool+epic and leave out the long ordeal and learning experiences (re: failures) needed to get there.
Very nice videos all the time. Please just make a raw intuitive 2D sketch of the magnetic field of the primary and see how small the coupling is with the thin secondary. At that point you can make the improvement. A wide secondary and a wider primary around makes a good coupling. The primary needs some distance, so it is wider and it needs distance from the high voltage top so it is at the bottom.
1:45 the same method is used to trigger xenon strobe tubes in a simple strobe circuit. A capacitor is connected in parallel with a neon tube (in place of the spark gap). Once the capacitor builds up enough voltage (around 70 volts) the neon tube turns on and conducts, sending power through the primary, which induces power in the secondary, which then generates the kilovolts required to fire the xenon tube. Magic!
I really needed this video today. I just got into electronics, and I am completely stuck on my current project. It's nice to see that other people, who know what they are talking about, still hit a wall with their projects.
The more I watch these videos the more I understand how the individual components of an aircraft’s magnetos works. I’m impressed at how old the tech is and how long ago someone figured out how to put all of these components together.
@@ElectroBOOM amateur radio is a fantastic hobby. I really don't understand why more EEs don't get into it. I think it'll be interesting to watch you or Dave Jones or even big Clive get into it a little bit.
You could use eGaN FETs as a solid state driver for the magic wand. They are really small, and can operate at freqs over 10 MHz as long as you don't use high voltage on primary winding (les than 500 V). Infineon and GaN Systems makes some reliable transistors. If voltage is under 200V, you could also use EPC GaN power transisitors, they are also pretty fast with great current capabilities. Integrated drivers such as LMG1020 (single output), or LMG1210 (half bridge driver) from Texas instruments can help to drive the circuit
You might also be able to increase the inductance by putting more windings on the secondary, so stacking 2 or 3 windings. The capacitance of the coil will also increase, so I'm not sure it will work.
If Infineon doesn’t make a semiconductor that’ll work for something chances are no one does haha 😁 I’m in the process of building an amp that uses all Infineon semiconductors. 400-pound class G water cooler beast. 25kW x2 into 4 ohms. 16 of their most massive trench field stop IGBTs for the output stages. Srry just hearing Infineon made my brain tickle haha
Hey Mehdi, I think this might work better with polypropylene foil capacitors. Cheaper dielectrics have slight losses and since you're running high currents millions of times a second this could be damping your oscillations. Most ceramic capacitors are especially bad because they also change capacitance with applied voltage, being as far from an ideal capacitor as you can find.
I think his frequency is too high, years ago I built a few and in my research most everyone in the building community said to keep them below 300khz. Beyond that and you get a spikey carona no matter how much power you drive it with. Couldn't tell you why bc most of the info on this subject is empirical.
Your temerity and audacity to give those hazardous experiments are hugely sensational and mesmerizing! I wish I had had such interest and curiosity to strike pushing my heart and soul to explore the unknown areas of interest.
That was an amazing idea. My secondary had resonant frequency of almost 6Mhz and after a week of experiments, I managed to fit everything inside a handle and now it works and looks just like a wand.
For a spark gap Tesla coil you need to use a flat pancake coil for the primary coil to reduce the coupling. Your solenoid-type primary coil provides too much coupling. This is what is causing what we call racing sparks along the secondary coil. Unfortunately a pancake coil will make the the base of your Tesla coil bigger, reducing its portability. You also need a more precise method of tuning your primary circuit.
Tap the primary at different points. By the way, you can precisely find the resonant frequency of the secondary this way: Attach one lead of a neon bulb to the top with the other free in air above. Feed the 5 volts of a signal generator into the bottom of the secondary coil. There is no primary involved here. As you dial through the frequencies of the signal generator, the neon bulb will glow more brightly when you reach the match for its resonant frequency. Set a day aside. Or program an arduino to run through the frequencies and read the output with a light sensor and take a long nap to wait for the results, peak. Or easier, do the math first for ballpark. Then you want the primary to be a harmonic of that and I don't know how to determine it. Would be based on its length and capacitance (amount of material) of course and the small amount of inductance I think. The spark gap just gives an the impulse to the primary coil like striking a bell and yes, adjusting the width of the air gap for optimally re-hitting that bell (primary) at the best time does help. Like ringing a low-tone tuning fork, placing it near a high-tone tuning fork several octaves above it and expecting the latter to start ringing too, should work.
3:00 - and onward. This whole sequence. I never can tell if it's on purpose or not... or not on purpose on purpose... Mehdi, you're just too good. :D And also, sage advice indeed. Discharge before handling, kids!
@@sczoot6285 Hah, yeah, he has the sound effect and visual effects, plus he knows very well how to cause these shocks, so i am pretty sure that almost all recorded shocks are on purpose. Maybe a couple sneaked in here and there, but you still can't fake the reflex from getting a shock unless you're purposely try not to move or make a sound. So it still looks genuine, but given his experience, they SHOULD be staged, otherwise he does have serious safety issues haha
I actually think you got some pretty good results. I actually have a handheld Tesla coil I pulled from an old TV factory. I was told they would use it to excite the TV Tube. It was about the same length as yours and about the size of a soda can round. Black and completely sealed. I could never get it apart.
I'm so glad your still posting after what 10 + years pretty crazy dude I had to take a break from TH-cam for a long while and that made me forget to check up on you after I came back
Mehdi my friend Bifilar coil to increase capacitance Because the voltage difference between any adjacent turns is much greater So the energy stored in the coil is the square of the capacitance! You can also use the bifilar coil in bucking configuration.. In which the inductance becomes almost zero Also same weight of copper for primary and secondary vacuum spark gap❤😊
I love watching your videos Mehdi and it's always entertaining but could you in editing, turn the volume down for the really loud sparks or machine noises in other videos? I really love watching your videos but these sounds make it impossible to finish a video. Even if I turn my volume down, the high pitch frequencies are still there and they hurt my ears. I've seen in some of your older videos where you've dubbed over the loud parts of the video explaining what was going on. Thank you for what you do.
As much as this pains me to write, if I was doing a similar project I'd probably make a lithium battery pack you could attach somewhere on your arm. Have a little cable run from it, and maybe you could get a magnetic attacher instead of the usual friction held connections and just brush it onto the wand whenever you're using it. I have no idea how tesla coils work, but I'm pretty sure that's super dangerous from the chance of arcing, especially with a stronger current going towards the wand. My initial idea was a battery you could wear as a bracelet, but at that point, I'd probably just cut my hand off to save time.
hello sir i am from india sir i have been watching your videos for past few months, i don't understand much english but i learned a lot from your videos.
The insulated pins in other countroes doesn't make the pins fatter. They simply make half the pin very slightly thinner, then add a very thin coating of insulating material. In Australia the insulated pin Standard added a durability test to the pins, so they must survive a certain number of bends at a specified force and angle before snapping.. The upshot is the new insulated pins are stronger material than was previously acceptable. So the nsulated pins are exactly the same thickness and equally strong as nin-insulated ones.
Ferite cores: I know from making speaker crossovers that air coils have a way faster charge and release time than inductors with a core, so removing the ferrite cores would massively reduce the time domain of the coil. Also, maybe having separate ferrite beads means there is a complex inter-circuit inductance thing going on? Like chokes have a gap in the inductor. Just thinkiing aloud, thought I'd mention it! :o)
Super educational Mahdi. Schools and books seldom show how things are done to detail or the shortcomings one might find. So big thank you. Crazy thing Tesla did not have epoxy, oscilloscopes. not even wall outlets, they d got to invent it.
Most tesla coil build sites will tell you there's an optimal frequency range, if you start going into the MHz like at the start you get those weak looking carona discharges instead of long solid arcs. Iirc 300khz is basically the highest you should go. It must have something to do with the eletrical characteristics of air as the voltage/power of the tesla coil doesn't change it much, you can dump 100s of watts into a MHz range tesla coil and you still won't get nice arcs.
I dont understand any of electrical voltages and current concepts but also love medis videos and watch every video even thought it passes throug my head great aprreciation medi

Iirc 300khz is basically the highest you should go. It must have something to do with the eletrical characteristics of air as the voltage/power of the tesla coil doesn't change it much, you can dump 100s of watts into a MHz range tesla coil and you still won't get nice arcs.

I dont understand any of electrical voltages and current concepts but also love medis videos and watch every video even thought it passes throug my head great aprreciation medi
Never a mehdi video without him shocking himself 😂😂😂
This is the way
Like a Sarkissian always burning himself.
I recommend changing the wire material to change the resonate frequency
Even failures are informative. Keep them coming, Mehdi! I second Sypernova6969's suggestion of a staff rather than a wand. Imagine how many DC batteries you could hide in a wizard's staff!
Vaseline and flexible transparent plastic tubing makes excellent HV insulation, quick and easy too.
3:15 when u come back to life just to die again
2:09 - I giggled.
3:04 - I cried laughing
3:20 - I made the mistake of thinking it was safe to sip my drink and promptly spat it out.
Mehdi, you're awesome. Please don't ever change.
At 06:54 I thought of a arcing adult toy lol.. I hate my mind 🤣
Haha me too i want to die
Mehdi, "previous video" doesn't really cut it when part one was a year ago .... incidentally it's also when you introduced the green screen white board -- a lovely addition
3:40 oh my god I haven’t laughed so hard in my life. You’re a comedic genius man.
Lol he didn't even swear yet he beeped to make things funnier
10+ years and he is still alive with all the mishaps
8:36 Mehdi, what is that burning fire music?
2:55 !!!!! LOL .... that was funny
Live, laugh,watch electroboom,sleep & repeat
Not being able to hear Medhi clearly over one of his constantly arcing projects is absolutely hilarious
8:47
11:43 "some nice and large arcs. OOOOOWW F******"
Electroboom never dissapoints
Thank you alot, m8 you gave me allways so many amusement the last years. Iam happy u still going on. :D
the dubs have no emotion. that's a big problem ... in respect to your excellent persona
Congratulations on 6 milion subscribers
5:31 making an four stroke engine
He was breathing in the solder fumes, explains a lot ha ha. I love your videos
You just needed to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow

Neutron flow?
@@gelo1238 Yes, reverse it!
I've really missed this style of video. Glad to see a new one!
His head is separated from his body 1:35
Great fun moments as always!
I agree with the Idea of converting it to a "wizard staff"!
Or maybe a bit more difficult.., a Gaunlet?
It's your secret
You blow up capacitors intensionally for creating the humor😂😂
I had a feeling you were iranian. You really are. سلام خسته نباشی ویدیو هات واقعا واسه کسی که الکتریسیته دوست داره جالب و باحاله
Sir u just slammed it! I was waiting for this video since ages and it is finally out......Mad respect to you sir 🗿😎♠️❤️🩹........
I subscribed to your channel a long time ago, but I’ve never received a notification about you. I found you in a short, and it turned the bell on. TH-cam can be personal. They go for people individually a lot.
