Hello Tesla People. I'm Matias, from Argentina. I was wondering if any of you could give me some tips for building my first Tesla Coil. I want to start with something small and easy, and then move on to bigger and complicated stuff.
Do you know where can I find the information I need to build one?
Here is a nice site that’s gives a overview of a Tesla Coil @
http://deepfriedneon.com/tesla_frame0.html and a calculator page to design the coil @
http://www.classictesla.com/java/calculat.html#Index .
These are good starting sites, enjoy and yes start simple to get practice on winding secondaries, primary and working with tank caps and tuning. Building the first coil is a great learning curve, and a lot of fun in the process. Be safe and have fun.
Good luck,
Dr. Spark
