Need plans for 16kv .50amp transformer, please.
teslaman:
I have been doing this a long time, as far as tesla coils go, insurance companies don't get too excited, it was the crocodiles and pythons we use to bring that caused concern.
teslaman:
You mean, like these four 15,000v 60 ma ones, $600 for the 4. Impressive, but gotta go bigger, it's the American way. I build my transformers now. Smaller, cheaper and no sense having something rated at 100% duty cycle that will only run for 2 minutes at a time. Waste of money and space.
teslaman:
It will use a 12" rotary spark gap with 1/4" tungsten electrodes with high velocity quench fan, and will produce copious quantities of ozone and nitric oxides as well as be too loud to hear a person standing next to you yelling.
teslaman:
Ya, old industrial tig welder would be perfect.
teslaman:
It,s not winding the transformer that's fun, it's the look on mens faces when I flip the switch, homemade lightning, very cool. When I turn on my 4" coil, I turn off the lights in the garage, but all the fluorescent ones light up anyhow. No, will not stop a pacemaker, and you can take pics with phone and they survive, don't think I would want it near my computer though. Check it out, but careful, coilings addictive and before long you fing yourself pricing capacitors by the 100 lot.
