hey this is basically a slayer exciter, there are many tutorials on the internet on how to Make them. he should have used better components though. I know I use a tip31c trans npn and a 47k ohm res and 2 uf4007 diodes. along with primary and secondary coils. you should also use a cinductive metal ball at the tip for better results.

its trash dosent work

dont waste your time reading it

[VivekS99]

hey buddy i tried it but didnt work

what to do

[wmada1]

i cant get it to work

[Gursimran Singh 425]

Hi, thanks for commenting you can post some pictures of your circuit that you made!! I think you might have overlapped coiling excessively or the transistor pins might be wrong!! Pleaae recheck everything!! Thanx :-)

What kind of Inductance would your coil emit and would a 710 turning coil damage equipment? PLEASE ANSWER ME SOON.

Daniel.

[Gursimran Singh 425]

It is mutual induction and 710 turns may pr may not work it will not damage cfl in any case.:-)Best of luck!!

Hi friend I have also made mine tesla coil earlier , and it works great.

[Gursimran Singh 425]

Oh! that's nice!! :-)

[awesomevicky]

amazing project...I'll try to make it.

[Gursimran Singh 425]

Thank you!! Best Of luck!!

You would have named this instructable as "How to make a tesla coil".

[Yonatan24]

A lot of people have made a "Tesla Coil" 'Ible = Less views...

[Gursimran Singh 425]

Correct!! :-)

A few years ago, Dept of Energy had a huge (maybe 100 ft in length) CFL bulb lightening the bottom of their building. At one end of this bulb was a small microwave box which excited this CFL. Was supposed to save energy and burn for a long time. As I remember it didn't burn very long before it stopped.

That sounds like it was a sulfur vapor lamp connected to a light tube to distribute the intense light it produced. It was supposed to be very efficient but only practical on a large scale. The Air and Space Museum had about half a dozen up near the ceiling. Unfortunately, they didn't last as long as expected, and the manufacturer went out of business.

well if you lose the partial vacuum inside of the bulb, it would not work. otherwise the microwave, could keep it lit as long as the microwave did not fail.

you can even use tesla coils, or neon transformers to run burnt out fluorescent bulbs.

Hi!

Joined a bit in advance just to ask this question:
If i would like to make a setup with a stronger effect, I assume that means a larger diameter/longer coil/more turns? Also is this a viable option as a night light, or should I concider making such a night light motion sensing?

[jimmie.c.boswell]

well there are all kinds of ways, to increase the output and effect the a tesla coil. like winding the coil, on a ferrite core instead of an air coil. making sure, your ferrite is optimal for the frequency. which would make, the size if the coil needed smaller with better coupling.

increase the secondary, turns ratio and using slightly heaver tubing or litz wire for the primary autotransformer to increase amps and voltage in the primary. unless you are using a, isolated tesla coil.

increase the frequency, of the coil. frequency has an effect on distance the coil can arc, or radiate.

and another less likely for the layman, would be a super-conductor tesla coil. which i do not believe, has been researched as of today. but it would be, a new novel neet idea.

[BennyP5]

With increasing the turnratio, you mean secondary:primary right? I happening to have a pretty heavy-duty transformer on hand, so maby thats my approach. My plan is to hide the coil and make a "magic" lamp so it needs to stay relatively small, and I dont have ferrite on hand :D on the other hand, the transformer I have is impossible to hide in the object I had in mind.....
