In this three part video series I will show you how a common slayer exciter tesla coil kit works and how you can create your own improved version of a tesla coil that is commonly referred to as a SSTC. In this third part of the series I will show you how to play music with your tesla coil, how I improved the IGBT driver circuit so that it wastes less power, how to include a feedback circuit that keeps the oscillation frequency at the resonance frequency and how you can upgrade your SSTC to a DRSSTC.

Why the arc is not jumping in the air by himself ? That is a lot of work comparing to use a simple flyback transformer which could déliver the same syze of arc.
You need to increase the input voltage for this effect. I did not wanted to use mains voltage due to my limited workspace and I also do not have a way to increase the input voltage slowly to avoid damages. Basically the circuit can definitely handle a lot more but I simply can not try it out.....yet.
GreatScott! "Yet?" So we can expect this in the future? ;P
I'm expecting 3m arcs :P
GreatScott! didn't you have a variable transformer? You can crank the voltage up slowly with that right?
It can not handle this kind of power.
you are so calm i would probably cry while removing 14 pin sockets :)
Haha, well, let's say I was not very happy about it either.
Exactly 🤣🤣
what, you guys remove those ? usually to me that's the no return point when I slamdunk the project in the trash can and go play video games
Don't you think that the arcs are not big enough for a TESLA COIL
You are one hard-working RUclipsr!
Thanks for the appreciation :-)
Yes, one of the most interesting and useful channel on yt
every time I hear tesla coil I imagine exploding circuits, thanks electoboom...
Bill383 same
LOL
@@TarzanCHG imagine a blown capacitor
@@TarzanCHG actually right now I already build a full bridge rectifier
but I'm to nervous to power it
@@TarzanCHG for me I double check the connection and isolation first
otherwise I would end up with my desk filled with capacitor fragment
How could anyone dislike a genius that spends his time making videos to help others? Thank you very much Great Scott!
No problem :-)
Nice project, but you need to increase the input power. You could use a variac and a full bridge rectifier with large smoothing capacitors as a power supply. Simply place the coil on the floor if you do not have enough space on your workbench. I also did my first tests of my DRSSTC inside, but soon i had to move outside because the arcs were hitting the ceiling. With proper tuning, you should get arcs that are about 2-3 times the length of your secondary. The longest arc i have seen so far with my medium DRSSTC was around 3m.
WAIT! I watched this guy when he had 30k subs now he is at 560k....?? woah.. man I just.. Dear God! How times fly.. Congrats on your way up man.. I'm impressed.
Thanks
JustGame So glad for you!
Mr Tesla would be pleased,anyone ever played with Hutchinson effect,very strange
Now 850
0.973M now
I understood maybe 12% of everything that was said during this series, but I just love listening to your voice and watching you solder
I don't understand half of what you spoke but man did it catch my attention!!! I feel I can get smarter just watching your RUclips channel🤓
You should try flyback transformer driver. Its easy and creates arcs of similar length.
Man just has class D amps laying around. Legend
Just stumbled on this project video. Back in middle school there was a company called Information Unlimited. I found them in the back of a Pop Sci magazine. They sold a "Tesla" coil kit that took 12V and ran it through a pair of BJTs into a dual center-tapped primary. I had to hand wrap the 12awg wire, but there were only a dozen or so turns. The kit used a TV flyback transformer.
It created a nice fuzzy arc of about 1" that was hot enough to melt table salt.
Another kit they sold was an "ion gun" that used a similar design, but smaller transformer. The output was connected to a ladder network of 20kV caps & diodes. The instructions claimed a 15kV increase in potential per "stage" which was 2 caps + 2 diodes if memory serves. I got the 'brilliant' idea to merge the 2 devices for my HS science project. The resultant (now a static discharge) arc stretched to over 4" in length and was much louder than the transformer arc.
I had a bit of fun after bending a rod in the shape of a Z to form an ion rotor. Every piece of metal in the room acquired a charge. Thankfully, there wasn't much in the way of electronics about 30yrs ago.
Electroboom did so easily and got what a result 😂😅😅😅
This project was magnificent, I cannot wait to conduct it myself. Just need to make sure I have all the components.
You added a 555 timer, you beautiful, beautiful person.
55555555555555555555555555555 timers timers timers timers timers timers timers timers timers timers timers are the best
555 makes an excellent MOSFET driver
4:54 "but not big enough for me" that's what she said.... 😂
You can put any thing inside a cave, it will never fill up...
dude that much effort on that board... your really patient! I would literally cry if I made such board and the result wasn't what I wanted
Great scott! great work. as always. love from INDIA. thanks for your efforts and time to teach us awesome facts.. Hats off 👍
Thanks mate ;-)
GreatScott! do you still have that koowheel longboard, and if you do, is it still working good?
I love that hand writing
i really enjoyed this series the project was awesome
thank u scott:-)
I can understand how much hard work you do for a single video. Love your video.
I like watching great Scott 's videos even if I don't know anything :D. I have always wanted to do the same thing - creating stuff with Arduino and 3d printers and all those things like bread boards, capacitors. I have always wanted to learn ohms wats volts joules and etc. Even if I don't know anything that Scott is saying I still love the things he does. Thank you Scott!
I'm such a great fan of Tesla... AND YOU!
The band the scientist or the coil!
Simply hatsoff! I don't know your background. I don't if you'll ever read my comment. All I have to say is you are one genius!
Now I have to build a MIDI Tesla coil, just because it's obvious, and because I saw so many points where you could have used math and common products to optimize the results. All through parts 1 and 2, I was mumbling "that primary is not optimized for that secondary!", "the secondary circuit will change constantly, so where's the secondary circuit feedback???", "why isn't he using conformal silicone on the secondary???", "why didn't he pot the primary in epoxy???", and "auuuurghhh! black paint IS CONDUCTIVE!!!"
But I think that was your goal all along: the arcs can NEVER be long enough. Great series!
PS: I'd like to see a video of you making this project FCC Rules compliant. ;o)
OMG, scope show you are until 4:54 AM working in this project!?
It's a pleasure to see your hard work
in 6:00, whit ohms law, you are calculating the impedance of the coil (v/I= Z= sqrt(r^2+xl^2)), not just the reactance, you should measure the resistance of the coil and recalculate de capacitive reactance, and i don't think its capacitance is a commercial one, maybe an arrangement in series can do the job
+Cristian Bravo The ohmic resistance was so small in comparison to the inductive reactance that you can pretty much ignore it.
GreatScott! ohhh, sure :D I forget the direct relationship between inductive reactance and frequency
lol, thank you
I've used all types of TC - first I started with simple Spark Gap, then tried Vacuum Tubes, and finally, SSTC. When trying to make BIG sparks from SSTC - it sounds loud and unpleasant. Yea, it can play music, but its sound very distorted with this square-modulation. SGTC also loud, but simple - and gives BIG arks. My favorite - on Vacuum Tubes. Quiet and not so hard to build. Plays music. Epic arcs. And warm tube glow =)
hope we have BIG sparks ;) thx voor de vid
A lot of work you did in this project. All the best
Very nice build , really enjoyed that , thanks for taking the time to film it .
@GreatScott! You might want to check out my (simpler, cruder) tesla coil design. I was able to achieve 3 times longer arcs with 50V. I have not tested beyond that. I might try to use 120V with a magnetic ballast (for current limiting and safety) next. Id like to give 70V a try, but I think I'll need larger MOSFETs. I have been using IRFP250N MOSFETs and the modern equivelent FDP33N25 ones.
Well done, Greatscott. I knew the end of this project was going to be awesome, and it is indeed!
Can't wait to see what is coming next!!!
Have a good week!
Hey Great Scott , i have always found that you make great things . what i really wanted to see from you is something more challenging than building standalone circuits. it would be great if you made a system that is useful IRL. i mean a complete system . it's way harder and it takes a lot more work . good luck & have a nice day .
Oh my god! !!! This was the best series I saw
I hope to become like you in the future
I wish i have so good working head like yours 20 years ago =O
Night Saber he's german so he wörks
Holy crap i thought my speaker was broken!
Raoul Barranca me too xD
This is a great watch, blew my mind at times. had to rewatch a lot.
wow the ir 284 arc is so much better
Really cool and interesting. I hope someday to acquire the knowledge base to do projects like this. Thank you. I learned what an IGBT is not long ago when something at work blew it's varidrive. Disassembly found the IGBTs went boom due to arcing through dust on the 600v DC bus. Now I get to take the new varidrive apart every 6 months and clean it.
you are one talented person !! you have so much knowledge
I don't understand a bit of this... but I enjoy it!
Very nice dude. You always produce quality. Keep going !
Thanks mate
Once I get my lab scope i am totally going to build this. Thanks for creating a awesome channel!
You my friend are a wizard.
Man you are awesome! I wish I had electronic knowledge like you. Like designing circuits from scratch. Keep going!
I've been waiting for this...
How did you become such a genius man? are you perhaps an Electrical Engineer?
i love people like you. i am a bit drunk. but i want to say. that i really hope peole like u will end up being in the government. smart people. hope you lovable too. very importnat. that you love properlyu. yes. you area great man. stay yourself. be you. be great. be smart. not ashamed. be proud. and show the world the idea's yuou have so others can become more smart trough you.l you area great tool of rising society to a higher version of itself. you area agreat man. thankyou.
Good project! Keep on making videos like this!
if you want the arcs to get bigger try a vacuum tube tesla coil
awesome. keep up the good content
Thanks. I will try my best.
I got the feeling the pucker factor was slowly increasing throughout this series of videos.
this guy speaks all experimental terms...who all understand him
The perfect defense against those pesky allied troops, comrade.
remove diodes 7,8,9 and 10 and you have the primary as tesla used it. you need those impulses (inductive kickback) to be high in voltage, short in duration. use SiC N-mosfet 1700V, with proper isolated gate drivers.
The next coil (the series resonant, impulsed from both ends) has on its ends 2 equal series tuning caps, that connect parallel over to the H Bridge coil.
the 3rd coil, is the secondary, tuned to the 5th or 7th harmonic, depending on the phase coupling of the coils.
The impulses generated by L1 are fed to series resonant L2. L2 longitudinally kicks L3 into magneto dielectric resonance.
L3 is coupled back to L1. this is positive feedback, made posible by the phase shift between L2 and L3, and also phase shifted between L1 and L2 (done by reversing the L1 coil, causing counter rotation)
All coils are distanced (loose coupled) bifilar pancake coils (equal mass).
I want to synch brains with you. We then could build the UFO that would travel to distant planets. Awesome job mate. ElectroBoom is jealous, lol
You should have built one of those spark gap Tesla coils, they are mental
Really enjoyed this series. Will download your plans and try this sometime myself. Thanks for the great lesson!
They are already online. Look in the video description
Is that a new power supply at 2:30 !! Nice !!
I am always looking forward to sunday, since a new video is then uploaded! :D
Also, is it dangerous If the arc would jump to your finger?
it's funny to see different people's approach to danger, the dude from dronebot workshop is like "never in a thousand years, never do anything with wallpower" great scott is like "yeh its cool, if you like it do it just be careful", medhi is like "what the house burned down and I almost died ? yes, but I later figured out what was the problem, so I win" michael reeves and styropyro are intentionally trying to make the most ridiculously dangerous death-machines as a joke/provocation
It was a great idea to play this video when trying out my speakers after my headset died today >_>
this was really enjoyable to watch would really love to see more of this but still really good.
the starting sound,sounds like frying vegetables😂😅
I find top load like that actually do more harm than good, because even though on a meter it will show a certain capacitance, there is a large area of sharp points that bleed charge
Hahaha that wire combo 😂😂 Nice project bro!
We're gonna need a bigger arc!
"i hop You will try to di something similar" ,You are an electrical engenier , a normal person like me can't do this ,but hey ,u are cool and i like your projects!
From my understanding a slayer excitor can get better arcs with a supply voltage around 20 volts with a better circuit. Not a recommended circuit to build.
hello Scott.i would like to suggest you to make a video series of building a micro quadcopter from scratch. There is no such one...
Awesome Video!
Imagine if Tesla was alive today with our current technology.
An excellent series
does stuff you make is awesome
Windows 7. Good choice!!
Nice!!! Built mine with tip13c transistors and some caps
It would be cool to see two higher power tesla coils play music in stereo
Thank you Scott, you explained everything, I learned a lot. Actually, I'm surprised how easy you applied maths to facts and solve problems. I'll build mine and share the results later.
I finished
I was watching this with pleasure. I hope you're going to upgrade it to high voltage input.
Clearly, this arc is not long enough. This project isn't complete until my CFLs are lighting up here in Montana
We Indian love you so much
thank you! very informative! wish you can include some projects that we can actually use. like home automation or smart things :) btw very nice camera work!
I have tons of projects on my channel. There are a lot that you can use daily. Feel free to browse.
Due to space limitations, I’m thinking of making a tiny baby one… eventually…
congratulations!! 👏👏
Hey scott, first: i love your videos and they are very inspiering and aloe me to get rid of anny doubt i have,
Second: i beleve that the wooden spaar youplaced in the center of the Tesla coil is whats avoiding a higher output (i think!) Because i have built a much more simpympler one with the same construction principal, a wooden spar from a Broken brommstick hanble, turnes out after testing i notest 2 things. 1 the output power was way less then before and 2 the wooden spar was getting warm. Just a sudgestion, you could try removing the wooden spar and i belive that would give a bit more power to the output. Once again love your videos, take care and keep Up the great work :)
Wow that's big Tesla coil cool dude 😃😃
High Voltage, Arcs andSparks? BRING IT OOOONN!!!! :D :D
Interesting vid BTW :)
GreatScott, you could revisit this video now. Right now, this is the most disappointing tesla coil I've ever seen 😂
the start up 555 is not needed at all
when power is turned on a very short voltage spike will be present on the primary coil and ofc on the secondary coil which will be picked up by the antenna and properly start the whole system
Please keep on doing such great videos , we are getting extremely inspired by you
really nice video that sems like a loot of work .
pd:saludos de chile
You should do a video on gate-ringing as it is something that occurs alot in your projects ;)
Maybe you should try SGTC powered from TV flyback or microwave transformer to get bigger arcs?
3:12 Trust me, i'm an engineer
Here is an idea for a project, and it uses what seems to be your favorite component (leds) . A clock, i think it would be interesting to see.
I always think that GreatScott! is 40+ years old, even though I've seen his face on his Q&As...
Hoped for bigger arcs:(
you scared me thought it was something wrong with my speakers...
excelente amigo esta muy elaborada pero todavía le falta que sea capas de hacer chispas al aire
