    That's a very impressive output for its size
    Edit: thanks a lot for the video, I managed to make it almost entirely out of reused parts. While I didn't get an output as high as yours, I did manage to get some arcs which is satisfying enough for now. And btw, you weren't joking when you said it gets hot, had to use a powerful computer fan with a microwave power transistor heatsink to keep the MOSFET somewhat cool. Very cool build, once again, thank you.

    @singhonlo67 7 лет назад +1

    Thanks. it worked very well with a 30v 10A variable power supply. At 30V, it draws about 1 to 2A current so the tiny 1k potentiometer (rated 0.5W?) gets too hot. I would replace it by a large wirewound potentiometer. The mosfet is cold at 30V. But when I replaced the discharge wire by a toroid top load, it stopped the corona discharge and blew the mosfet. So the point discharge wire is necessary for the Slayer exciter circuit.

    This is a cute little coil, nice! As a suggestion, you might try adding a high-power zener diode across the mosfet gate and source to limit the voltage, rather than just a resistor network, although i suspect you'll still need a relatively low-value resistor from VCC to the gate for bias, as with a vacuum tube tesla coil.

    Thank you Keystone science for inspiring me to build this project, I actually have already make this circuit using IRFP 260N MOSFET, it works great, but even greater when you connect the source of the MOSFET to earth ground, i thought this because when Iam building a tesla coil with spark gaps, you need to connect the bottom end of the secondary coil to earth ground to close the circuits, and so I applied that to a solid state one , and it also works great.

      @szafran1543 7 лет назад +1

      Maybe you are right. I'm familiar with "V-" standing for supply which is symmetrical to GND. But as you wrote - this circuit is not grounded so it is not the issue.

    I have tried this 'OSAM' circuit with IRFZ44N mosfet and it really worked for a few seconds and then blasted like a fuse, even though I was using a heatsink. Then I tried it with HRF3205 and it didn't work but heated up. After that I used another mosfet which is IRF540 and it also didn't work. In my opinion this circuit works best with IRFP260N mosfet.....

    @LoneWolf-zx3iy 7 лет назад

    I have questions-1. You used 50 Ohms resistor which seems rather very big and thick. What is the power handling rate for R1 you used?
    2. The mosfet you used with ratings 200V and probably 50A continuous drain current. I have Power MOSFET of 200V,8A; 200V,18A; 50V,55A; and 60V,110A. What is the exact criteria for you to choose what MOSFET you are going to use? Is it voltage or current? If current, then what is the maximum current handling capability for jumper wires, primary windings and secondary windings?
    3. What is the maximum current rush, voltage output and if I use battery of 12V,7.5AHC, two of them connected in parallel, how long does they gonna last if remain connected?
    Other than this, it's fantastic idea.

  • @dennismski2307

    Awesome instructional! Does the gauge of the primary coil wire matter? I am using 22 AWG for the primary and 30 AWG for the secondary. Would that suffice? I'm also using an IRFP460 for future scaling. You should see the size of the heatsink I've got for that MOSFET.

    @DennisMski 7 лет назад

    After three days of troubleshooting, I finally got it to work! I had the drain and source swapped around on the MOSFET and in addition the primary was at the very bottom of the secondary. Push it up a little bit. Play around with the height of the primary. Also... Even if the primary has a sufficient coating on it, add more. I have a regular wire and it still managed to arc through the insulation. Spray the secondary with polyurethane or cover it up with electrical tape. Best of luck, people!
    My TV is acting funny when I play around with the arc using my fingers. The TV will suddenly change inputs. It does this reliably. I can't figure it out.

      Depends on the transistor used. IRFP260N has a maximum drain/source voltage (Vds,) of 200V, but the Slayer Exciter, which is really what this is, has a very inefficient operation which is Class A and nowhere near as efficient as Class C, D, or E, which is why so much power is wasted as heat, because the transistor is operating in its active region all the time making a sinusoidal waveform rather than fully on or fully off. So, you wouldn't be able to operate this, with the IRFP260N, at anywhere close to 200V. Pretty much, you would be doing well if you could operate it with 100VDC. Safely, I wouldn't go much over 60-80VDC unless you have plenty of 260N's on hand. Now if you want more than that, you could use the IRFP460N that has a Vds of 500VDC. It has a slightly higher on resistance (Rdson,) of 0.24 ohms, as opposed to IRFP260N's 0.055 ohms, but that should be ok. You probably could get it to run at rectified US 120V mains, but don't know about rectified 230V mains. You could always try it and see. If you're using other transistor types then you're going to want as high of a drain/source voltage (Vds,) and continuous drain current (Id,) as you can get, and as low of an on resistance (Rdson,) as possible. For example, if using IRF510, I wouldn't go over 48VDC. It has a Vds of 100VDC, but it's best not to go over 1/2 Vds.

    Nice simple design, looks great for demonstrations. Seems to be more like an Oudin coil than a Tesla coil (which is fine - Oudin coils seem to be safer to play with).

    Is there a difference between a mosfet and power transistor? They seem to function the same, or are they even just different names for the same thing? also, whether its power transistor or mosfet you say it doesn't matter what you use, and im just curious why.Thanks.

    Be made my secondary coil. It has 470 turns. The diameter would be 0.0315 inches. The the gauge of the wire is a bit bigger than yours. And the height is 10 inches. How many turns would the primary coil have to be?

    If the number of turns in secondary winding are low can it give sparks

    Will it still work if I scale it up? I've built a small one and it works, but I was thinkg of building a bigger one: 5.5cm radius, 1000 turns, 0.5mm wire, 50 cm height for the secondary and about 5.5 turns, 1.5mm wire with 1mm spacing between the turns for the primary. This coil works with my sparkgap setup (makes 4-5 cm arcs) but will it work with this circuit too? Thanks!

    If I increase the amount of turns on the secondary coil.
    Would it so just be more power full or would transistor burn out?
    Plz answer

    @5:32 - Feedback arc in the pot.... XD
    The EASIEST way to do this without winding a coil is use a flyback transformer from and old TV set or CRT monitor.

    Yo! you need a zener diode connected directly at the gate to clamp your gate voltage to below VGS_max. That will help with failure rate of the switch.
