Hi

I am new to Tesla coil build and I have to come up with a design of a small coil which can be used indoors. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks

Mark:-(

There are a lot of good resources on the web if you look.

To start off with, Link2 has some good general design info, and Link2 is probably the most useful single resource, because you can test your design to see how well it works.

I'd also like to remind you of the rule (which you have naturally read, right?):

C. Do not ask for step-by-step instructions, detailed plans, or complete schematics. If anyone wants to make them available, they will. Try Google or the HvWiki.

This there a minimum voltage that I need for a spark? Just I have been told a few different thinks.

##Thanks Mark

Google the dielectric of air. It will tell you how much voltage is needed to break 1" of air.
Whatever you do, make sure you are aware of all the safety precautions you need to take.
These devices are not toys; and high voltages are dangerous and potentially lethal.
Be safe and alert!

Ok Thanks. I will look into it. I am building it for a college to use in experiments showing high voltages.

Thanks

If you are unfamiliar with a man named Ohm and his famous law than you should probably(definetly) avoid anything over 50V.

BTW, people here may get upset with the lack of research you have done. You should ask more specific questions and only after you search google.
