QCW Posted by: teslacoolguy
Video duration: 163 seconds A lower power run of my prototype QCW coil. I need to move up to 240v mains before i can crank it up more. Primary current is around 65A 12ms ON time It uses a large synchronous buck mode supply to make a linear ramp of the bus voltage fed into a high impedance dual resonant coil operating at 370khz.

big DRSSTC rebuild Posted by: teslacoolguy
Video duration: 81 seconds I had just finished upgrading my large DRSSTC to a bigger tank cap and fixed the secondary that got destroyed in a previous video. I am running around 1300A on the primary and still have not found the ideal tuning point. More to come.

Big DRSSTC Posted by: teslacoolguy
Video duration: 21 seconds I finally got around to fixing my big DRSSTC after a catastrophic driver failure. It ran pretty flawlessly until something happened and i started getting secondary turn to turn arcing. That ground strike was about 8' point to point.

high quality singing arc Posted by: teslacoolguy
Video duration: 109 seconds As a little weekend project i built this musical plasma speaker. I used a ka3525 driver chip connected to a half bridge with a gate drive transformer. It is running at about 100khz and the music is very clear.

New pole pig ballast test Posted by: teslacoolguy
Video duration: 45 seconds I finished a new resistive ballast for my pole pig today and this is a test run. Power is fed off a 30A 240v breaker connected to the dryer outlet and into a water resistive ballast. There is a sliding arm that vary's the resistance thus controlling how much current it draws. It is somewhat lossy but it works good inough until i find a sutiable core for a inductive ballast.

Potential Transformer test Posted by: teslacoolguy
Video duration: 58 seconds I scored this Potential Transformer at a local junkyard and here is a video of me testing it using a MOT as a ballast. it is drawing about 12A near the end. I had the variac turned all the way up to 120v but due to ballast losses and no PFC correction the actual voltage input was just over 100v Related: pt, potential, transformer, high, voltage, spark, arc, electricity, plasma, tesla, coil, test Display Video Comments | Hide Video Comments | Add Comment |

Video duration: 91 seconds This is the power supply for my big tesla coil but today i just hooked it up to draw arcs. It outputs 8.8kv 250ma but because of power limitations i had to run it at around 7.5kv. The total power output is 4.8kw.

Big Red... Demo Run Posted by: teslacoolguy
Video duration: 67 seconds I was having some people over so i decided to do a demo on my largest tesla coil. It had streamers around 4' but i still need to do a little more tuning and i will be able to get around 7' streamers. The specs are power supply.... 4 mot's spark gap.... dc asynchronous 120 bps primary.... 14 turns 1/4" copper tubing secondary.... 32" 25g mag wire on a 6" pvc form Related: tesla, coil, high, voltage, mot, microwave, oven, transformer, hv, sgtc, cool, rsg, rotary, spark, gap, power, streamer, arc Display Video Comments | Hide Video Comments | Add Comment |
