It is done;

100mm height, 100mm diameter, 50 turns. The geometry was neatly lasercut from 21cm x 24cm of clear 3mm acrylic.

Now all I've got to do is summon the courage to apply some power to the thing. After deciding where my coupling should start.

Well, lets see how much plasma you can make from a 50 turn secondary cheesey

I wonder if you will ever get to the point where you need forced air cooling inside...

I wonder if it would be worth the effort to create a similar former to build you primary on (using like 10 paralel strands of that litz wire) just to complete the whole floating wire look...

Things get interisting when the wire you used to wind your *secondary* is as big as the leads on your switches amazed

Dare I suggest audiomodulation?

Hehe, someone else has the same ideas.....

Very nice looking indeed.
Now to scale it to 10x40 inches.....

Audio modulation at that frequency with class-E topology? Tricky... ;)

I'm hoping this to be a scalable project, yes.

We'll see how much voltage rise I actually get from 50 turns...
did I mention improvements?

#1, next time I'll make all the cutouts/slots twice as deep,
#2, I should add some holes up the top for fastening electrode hardware and tying off the wire,
#3, as you said Peter (...), a floating primary to complete the look is absolutely necessary...
... now, how to do a floating primary with variable coupling.. muahaha

Thanks for checking it out guys.

More comments! Yes, you, reader! Tell me what you think =)

How about this?
