I’ve seen/heard your Tesla Coils pump out classical to rock and roll music and have always wanted to see how you actually went about building one. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. I can’t wait to attempt a build of my own.
I am beyond excited to get a deeper look into your incredible coils! You have already inspired many, including me, but this series will inspire so many more! Thank you!
Absolutely loved this look inside the construction of these secondaries. I always thought that you sourced these bespoke from a manufacturer as they were so uniform. I look forward to seeing many more similar videos from you, thanks again for making an English version.
I just came across your video my friend. Indeed very nicely done for beginners as it will for sure help them a lot. Just keep it up as you have got many subscribers & many fans waiting for you to come forward with your next videos as they are very instructive and full of information. I highly appreciate such videos myself. Take care and keep it going.
will you be providing files for the pcb component and any other downloads for this project? been a builder of SGTC and VTTC but SSTC is one that has elluded me till now. i have been building up suppplies for a build and have the IGBT bricks and most other components on hand, and winding coils is something i have covered, actually working on an auto winder with wire straightener self tentioning. its more the driver circut that i really need to sort, as i really dont know much about driving these big igbt bricks.
Love this. Cant wait to see the rest of the series. Have always wanted to build my own tesla coil, but I'm not great at following plans but I can follow a tutorial video with ease. Thank you
Is there a reason why you used superglue on the end caps of the secondary coil instead of ABS cement, since both are of the "same" plastic, you should be able to use the compatible bonding agent, right? Were it me making a coil using this method, I'd probably have reached for the ABS cement that you nearly always find sold in hardware stores (at least in the USA) specifically for gluing together sections of ABS pipe and fittings in drain systems of a house. This stuff creates an extremely secure bond, it's more akin to a chemcial weld than a true glue joint, because the ABS on both sides of the joint is turned partially into a gel by the cement (similarly to how model cement works), and when you join the two pieces you're supposed to twist them against each other to ensure a firm mechanical bond and a hermetic seal (which is the whole point of making a drain system out of ABS pipe in the first place). The only reasons I can think of offhand for not using ABS cement for this purpose are that you either didn't have any (and did have superglue), or that you have either researched or discovered by doing that there is some chemical incompatibility between the ABS cement and whatever material you are using to prevent electrical flash-over on the exterior surface of the secondary coil winding itself (my guess is that it's some form of corona dope, and judging by the presence of the vacuum pump in the background, you might also be vacuum potting the coil, which is a good idea if you can manage it easily enough). I would love to hear your thoughts on this in any case.
Ok, I give up. Where in the world do you find 98mm inside diameter x 101.6mm outside diameter PVC pipe? I've spent days looking for this and keep coming up empty. Thanks in advance for any tips.
I also used PVC tube in the past for the secondary windings, but unfortunately it has shrunk (likely due to the extrusion) over the years resulting in loose windings and electrical breakdown. Solution: buy some fiberglass tubing instead, that will likely also have better glue attachment for potting the secondary coil ;)
Oh, this is interesting.. I use PVC form secondaries since 2009 and its still working well. Maybe heating it for a couple of hours, before placing turns can be helpful.
Any chance you could replicate the circumstance warned against in Tesla's Wardenclyffe patent where he explains how a frequency shift, after the secondary LC tank is loaded with enough power, can result in a "fireball", whatever that might mean ? I'm puzzled more people have not focused on replicating this, though I'm pretty sure the described conditions could be arrived at coincidentally.
Boa tarde Fabrício preciso ter perguntado sobre a ponte full de igbts se tiver alguma rede social que posso entrar em contato com você , é sobre os igbts G40N60B3 estou tentando colocar eles na minha Drsstc mais não sei qual diodo reveso ficaria bom neles o Alexandre que te conhece ele falou que você a muito tempo parece que usou desses igbts , poderia me ajudar nesse quesito??
Alguma coisa como "RURG5060". Mas ao meu ver, é inviável. Você pode adquirir bons IGBTs que já possuem diodos de roda livre internos, por um preço próximo do próprio diodo. Usei "HGTG40N60A4D" e "IRGP4063D", mas descobri que esse esse primeiro componente, foi invenção dos chineses. A Fairchild nunca criou de fato haha Para ter ideia, não existe "HGTG40N60A4" com diodo interno num encapsulamento TO-247.
Thats a good question. The most expensive parts are IGBTs and capacitors. The small sized coil of this series, will have an estimated market value of around U$2000. On this secondary coil, the expense was only ~U$12,00

In truth, this isn’t a true Tesla coil. This secondary has the primary around its base and is very tall with a relatively small diameter, which can only produce high voltage with little to no current. The actual coils Tesla made had a diameter equal to its height, and the primary coil was around the center of the coil, not at the base, which then produces an equal amount of high current to high voltage. The coil that is now incorrectly called a ‘Tesla’ coil is nothing more than a novelty item, designed to make sparks, where as a true Tesla coil was designed to transmit enormous amounts of useable power wirelessly.
Thank you for going out of your way to make this video more accessible for English speakers!
The only one he has is about how to wind the coil but anyone can do that!
This is the most articulate and careful secondary coil I have ever seen wound. Well done !

We need this type of videos...
Tesla coils are so cool. Thank you for posting this kind of video. I'm so excited to see your process in building these amazing machines.
The TTS is.. interesting to listen to at times, but definitely an interesting clip to watch :) Nice to see the process behind everything.

I love the use of the heat-set inserts as both mechanical and electrical connections!
Absolutely awesome video, looking forward to the next one !!!
That is what i call it a clean and organized work 👌 😊
Wonderful tutorial!
Your coils are imacculate. I can't wait to see the next tutorial.
Are your 3D files or circuit boards available?
Man, this will shock them.
Is there anyway we can get schematics of the circuit boards that you use in these videos or the pcb design
I’ve been waiting years to see you do a construction video. I love the pcb plate to prevent through arching.
absolutly
the windings... so clean
Awesome job⚡

Yeah, because the super glue can be easily removed if necessary, without breaking the secondary.

hey man i would apreciate the great siana sisters theme to see its an old c64 game but anyways its great anyways
What's the name of resin and epoxy that you used?
Nice
would the resin and coating on the wire provide a degree of capacitance to the circuit?
and also, what would happen if the soldered disk on the top end weren't included?
Quentin Tarantino in an alternate universe
i really like those videos and im sad that the views are so low campared to the music videos
Looks like it could play Metroid Prime’s theme, PRETTY well…
