Yeah long time ago, I'm always interested in making Tesla Coils and now that I have some more professional stuff to follow along I'm definitely doing that with your videos. I really need to know how you make the primary coil sync up with the secondary for that sweet output we are all looking for. Thanks you so much for sharing this video and have a great day.
Nice to see you back at it Clem! Tesla Coils seemed to be a major interest of yours in the past. Just out of curiosity I wonder how far you could transmit if you were to Amplitude Modulate that set up?
@@CoolDudeClem You do a great job explaining the complex. You have a great voice for narrating your experiments. May I ask your occupation? I am a retired US Navy Veteran living in a north suburb of Chicago. I was an electronics engineer at sea stationed on the USS John Paul Jones and a drill sergeant on land. When I completed my tour of military service, I worked as a software engineer. I worked in IT for 18 years. During retirement, I became fascinated with high-voltage plasma. I am very new to the hobby of coiling. It's people like you who inspire me to build Tesla coils. I appreciate you sharing your life journey on TH-cam.
@@shawncalderon4950 I don't have a job. Some people think I'm just lazy, but the thing is if I got a job, I just know that I wouldn't be able to stick at it and I'd end up worse than I am now.
@@CoolDudeClem From what I can tell, I don't think you're lazy. It takes a lot of hard work to create good content on TH-cam. From my vantage point, you are diligent, creative, and a brilliant presenter on complex topics. I enjoy the grumpy scientist persona. I am a retired Persian Gulf War veteran who lives in Chicago. Chicago used to be a safe city. Under poor leadership, it has become a ridiculous spectacle. What is the name of the city you reside? I'm trying to figure out your accent. I want to say you sound British. When I retired, my wife said I needed a hobby so I don't drive her crazy, lol. So I ordered an O-scope, multimeter, LCR meter, various DC power supplies, a variac, etc. I then read everything I could get my hands on regarding the topic of Tesla Coils. Coiling is therapeutic. I have built a hundred Slayer Exciter Tesla coils. 99% did not work. I did learn how to blow up diodes and transistors:) Thanks for responding to my comments. It's a pleasure to learn from content creators like you.
@@shawncalderon4950 Ah yes, the grumpy scientist thing, well, it's just that "bad" weather is perfect for being indoors doing projects and science experiments, whereas when it's sunny, (like it is all the time lately) it spoils the atmosphere for that. And yes I am British, I live in Newmarket.
You are right, but I have some other plans for this circuit, basically I wanted to breadboard the "first steps" and while I was at it I thought I might as well use it in this experiment since it could be used for that.
@@CoolDudeClem Even more fascinating: All transistors and gate drivers for has some time delay, so even in self-resonance mode, it created a (cat chasing its own tail) type scenario unless we know how to build a phase advance circuit to cancel the phase delay?

Very interesting video! Looking forward to seeing the next one!
This was quite interesting, thank you.

That coil came out really good.
Nice to see you back at it Clem!

Great video! I guess you were transmitting quite a bit on Medium Wave there...
Now that's given me an idea!
You need an hacksaw for ABS cutting, make sure to grab a few extra blades for it as well
Nice work. You are very knowledgeable. Are you an electrical engineer by trade?
Nope, I'm just a hobbyist who's been tinkering with electronics ever since I was 7 years old.

Would a Natural Feedback ("Slayer exciter") circuit track it's own resonant frequency without having to search for it?
You are right, but I have some other plans for this circuit, basically I wanted to breadboard the "first steps" and while I was at it I thought I might as well use it in this experiment since it could be used for that.

Can the resonant frequency for a multi-turn loop antenna be tested by using an oscilloscope and a function generator?
I think so, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work.
@@CoolDudeClem Also, do you think the resonant frequency of a multi-turn loop antenna be less than 2MHz?
