How do you build a Tesla Coil?

Placed on 2019-07-16

The tesla coil is finished! Now you can test your Tesla coil on a power supply or adapter.

Thanks for reading my article!

With the tesla coil, different types of lamps can be powered,

A fluorescent tube, a CFL lamp, neon lighting and LED lights (if a small coil is attached to it).

The tesla coil is also fun to show at a school, for example, to demonstrate wireless energy.

Use of the Tesla Coil is at your own risk. Opencircuit and I are not responsible for any damage caused by the tesla coil or its manufacture. ATTENTION: these are high voltages!

These are nice projects Corne, coincidentally I have recently started to orient myself on this and am now working on a tube coil for cars. Too bad you mix up the primary/secondary connection in the text. These coils naturally resonate due to capacitive feedback. Any idea what the approximate frequency of this is? Is there a question of opposite winding of the coils or does this not matter in this design?! is of course important for circuits with control via electronics. Greetings Jan Zijlstra in Ankeveen.
