Tesla Coil Junior


Tesla Coil Jr. is the first coil I built. I didn't have any plans at the time, just a picture from a Haunted House convention. I made the primary and secondary coils then found the rest of the info on the net.

Specs.
  • Primary -7 turns of 1/4" OD copper 30ยบ angle, 
  • Secondary - 1 1/4 PVC pipe 24" long wrapped with 20" of #28 magnet wire, approx. 900 turns.
  • Cap - .005uf oil filled rolled poly in 4"pvc
  • Spark Gap - .Richard Quick type 3/4 Dia. x 2" copper tubes, 7 gaps spaced .025 between tubes.
  • Transformer - 15KV 30ma neon
  • Toroid - Just some 1/2" copper I had around
  • Output Sparks - 6-7" with the 30ma neon
