Building teal Coils Again

Hello All,

Long time no see. I was clearing out my garage the other day and found lots of high voltage and tesla parts so I threw some together to show our neighbour.

Here are a couple of shots from video. As you can see the secondary is far too short for the coil.

Currently running a 10kv 100ma NST with a 50nf Capacitor and 2 gap static tungsten spark gap.

This has really sparked my interest again (pun intended) and now set off of building the magnifier I had always dreamed of completing.

Will start another build thread for the new coil but just wanted to say hello to those I haven't seen or spoken to in some time.

Good to see you. The forum still lives, in spite of cumbersome captcha and loss of easy-embedded-pictures feature. As you probably discovered already. Good luck with new coil project.

Thanks for the welcome back 🙂 Yes I tried attaching pictures with no joy and couldn’t attach YouTube link either.
