Need to get rid of some stuff. Not 100% sure on prices, but for the motor im going off of local surplus prices for similar size/rated motors.
The motor I have came off a bounce house blower, that was bought new for about $110, and only had about 1 hour of run time at most. I was going to use the motor for a RSG, and never got around to it. Infact, that project was killed, SGTCs dont really amuse me as much as DRSSTC/SSTC systems. I'd offer my wheel with it, but it hasnt been tested and frankly i dont want to be blamed if it explodes.
Motor: 120V 60Hz at 680W. Comes with the origional capacitor, 28uF 260VAC I do not have the reverse screw, if you cant find one locally, i can likely locate one at my local hardware store. Comes with a cooling fan, 0.48" diameter shaft with keyway indent. This motor can NOT be variac speed controled, its an induction motor. once it hits 40V, it kicks into 3600RPM. Then, the more volts added, the more torque it will produce. Only video I have showing it.
Then I have a 3.5 x 12" secondary coiled with 34awg, double coated wire. This coil was modeled off philip's coil that did 5' from a 12" secondary.
These coils are not 100% square cut, but room is left at the bottom for anyone who wants things to be dead perfect. 2-3cm top and bottom. Electrical taped ends (does NOT effect it as my DRSSTC proves that).
Prices.
The motor I ask for around $50, just because its hardly used, and was pulled from a new bounce house blower.
The secondary, Im not sure, willing to talk a price over it in a PM. I was considering the 50-70 range just because you gotta keep labor in mind. We all know 34awg is a bit of its own to coil, and the coil doesnt have a single cross in it. I couldnt charge price of copper, because the main labor in a coil, is winding.
NOTE: I'm selling the coil as a single-coat poly. Meaning, enough to hold it on, no gloss. I WILL however allow you to buy my gloss one, IF your willing to pay extra. Because with polyurethane, to get a high closs requires many coats. I have maybe 30 coats into it, going from 600 grit to 2000 grit. 2 hours between each coating. So, lots of labor....I couldnt possibly charge equal price. Your choice, but its recommended to add more coats to the single, as its not going to protect much from rough use or a possible strike.
If interested in any items please PM me for discussion on price/shipping. I prefer to keep things USA only. Thanks. And, the 12" height, is 12" coiled. Actual height maybe 14-15 inches, on purpose to give room to trim if needed. Coil wire enters inside the secondary, and comes out the middle via end-caps as this is how all my coils are wired.
Why selling coils? I made 3 clones. Guess i just went crazy, because I dont need 3. I really just need 2 for a dual system. Instead of having it collect dust, i rather sell it to someone. And i know people exist out there who really, really dont want to wind a coil.
For fast-view people.
Motor: $50 Tesla coil $50-70 - Single layer coating Tesla coil finished - Please contact
