That's a nice mention Randall, thank you. Your creation has some lovely ground strikes with a nice 60Hz buzzing sound to die for. Like a GIANT wasp. It seems a120bps (or 100 in the UK) coil definitely makes the best sound - a nice rasping sound, of the type you would fully expect from High Voltage etc. Was this new top-load's frequency close to that of your old similarly sized previous dryer ducting toroid? It would be something that's handy to know for any future builders of a ring type toroid? I appreciate it was a hard thing to make, but all the cursing and sweat was well worth it. If I was in US and still actively coiling, you may have had a commission I'm surprised it still strikes your primary so much though, considering the size of the top-load, maybe lowering it an inch or so may help? In the introduction part (I didn't recognise you) is the comment of it "using a shitload of electricity" - a technical phrase, by chance? I guess Duracell batteries are just not going to be up to it then! Phil T
@follytowers .. yes, she uses the phrase "shit load" to express quantities with high magnitude... such as "this tesla coil uses a shit load of electricity" or "Randall, you spend a shit load of money on your tesla coil" or "Randall, you waste a shit load of time on your tesla coil"... etc etc. No matter how she uses it though, I always understand her technical meaning. 🙂. And you are very welcome. The coil has dropped almost 5 kHz with employment of the ring toroid. The primary is now tuned to 47.5 kHz. The secondary resonates at about 53 kHz unloaded. I plan to make some modifications to the strike rail with the hope that activity, in that regard, may be mitigated.
Hi, I come back to your videos I just bought a synchronous teletype motor, a 3600 rpm model in 60 hz. On our 50 hz electrical network, it is funny to see that its speed of rotation passes to 3000 rpm while remaining synchronous. I will try to transform my asynchronous eclator into synchronous, I still have to decide on the number of bps 100 or 200. kind regards, Paul
@@MegavoltHomeschool my mate bought a 60hz synchronous I saw on the plate 2.6A so I ran it up on my variac to 2.6A which turned out to be 98v, I then stripped the secondary off a toriodal transformer and scratched the lacquer off the primary in various places around halfway until I hit 98v winding I then soldered a wire on and touched up the other windings I scraped it then ran at its rated current, re wrapped it and sorted 👍

Fantastic performance there, I have to say the top load is a work of art - looking good...............
That toroid is sick brah and those streamers are buzzin with some awesome power.
Yer the Boss 🖖

Brilliant Randall. All that hard graft vindicated, as good as it gets. Well done.
Regards,
Phillip.
Now that's an impressive beast right there! Looks like a lot of time and effort went into this guy, great job 👏
Great job on the new toroid 🤘⚡⚡
Who’s the babe...wooo wooo!
Is shitload an electrical term? I can’t find it under definitions in the 2017 NEC. Must be new for 2020!
This is awsome 😀😀
That is a beast.
Very nice⚡⚡ keep up the great work!!
Anyone know how to convert "sh*tloads" to joules?

Great job congratulations what is the size of the toroid
