And if I'm not entirely mistaken, even if he was really just doing a frequency sweep, it sounded like he was playing the intro to Phantom of the Opera as a test for the remote, which when performed by Nightwish has the male part sung by a Marko.
I was a huge fan of Elektor back in the 70's - built one of their FM tuner projects from scratch. I thought I'd sign up and see what they're like these days. They said there was a prize draw every day in December so I signed up for that too - two days later I won a prize! Thanks Marco!
Marco, I was just about to place a comment here ungracefully begging to know where you purchased your Whovian style screw driver, when I thought "maybe I should check the links first". Loll and behold, you already put it there. Just another reason why I love this channel! 😁
Dude, I'm finding myself rewatching your videos, and I'm still entertained! For me this is totally unheard of as I basically never watch a youtube video again! (Ok, that's a lie, I sometimes rewatch TOT-videos..)
Great video. Only comment is my personal experience with epoxy and polyester resin is that they can be very lossy for up to a month after first hardening. I found shellac the least lossy, spar varnish and solvent based urethane coming up next with the advantage of being less likely to fracture with handling.
Nice LGBT reference (considering that the completed device is BDSM XD). Didn't noticed it until read the comments (was scratching my head thinking "what's the deal with those color tinted LGBTs") And thanks for the Elektor heads up!
I've been wanting to get my hands on one of those. A bit pricey, but people seem to enjoy theirs. Thanks for the free Elektor trial- looking forward to checking it out.
I have to say, that the one tesla TS is a nice kit but there is a signifficant problem with the way, they desingt the circuit. Because they have no soft start to slowely charge the high voltage high capacity bus caps, like this the high inrush current when plugging in the coil will eventually blow the full bridge rectifier. For that reason I added an external soft start in the power cable. Also my primary overheats very quickly at full power, I might reinforce it with some additiona wire.
This isn't megavolts, maybe 75-100kv. 3MV/meter is required to break down air, but this can only be used to determine voltage from an arc length if you are concerned with infinite parallel conductive planes. That's to say no real experimental setup allows for this correlation to be made accurately. Circuit simulation of our 8ft tesla coil producing 15 foot discharges predicted a maximum output voltage of 1.2MV.
@@reps It's not the voltage but how you use it! Look at the QCW Tesla coils and Tesla guns out there. They can make discharges over 8 feet long but with just 50-60 kV! In the end isn't it the spark that counts?
Maybe build a big bipolar Marx generator to get 1MV? Unfortunately highvoltagefeathers is correct - my coil with a ~160*750mm secondary (= 2 - 2.5m arcs) gave me measurements on the order of 500kV peak (derived from current measured into/out of topload - I floated a wifi connected scope on the topload once to get the numbers).
I notice they are using one of the inverter's to invert one of the signals to a pair of ucc37321 chips wonder why they didn't use the proper complementary ucc37322 probs to save on BOM and pick and place reels nice vid as always
Moin! Schickes Kit mit einer großartigen Präsi! Vielleicht sollte ich mir auch mal so ein Tesla Spülchen zulegen, damit ich wieder Lust habe meine Klampfe raus zu holen. Kommt bestimmt ganz schick als Verstärker. Schicken Gruß, Etna.
If you pay the Tesla store the $25 dollar assembly charge to have them put it together, you won't lose sleep over the superficial scratching on the glossy black finish....
5% resistors should be fine actually, in my experience with Solid state tesla coils, I've found that resistor values aren't usually that important. Oh, also they didn't come up with the schematic, at least not most of it. It seems to be a modified version of Steve wards "mini SSTC" circuit. It's a good choice though, since it gives high performance and it's pretty simple.
Marco...you know that the clippers that you received with your Cetus 3D are for PLA and NOT for clipping TH terminals. Last sunday I bought a Cetus 3D extended MK3 from tiertime.com and I am super delighted. Its printing non-stop since it arrived. Everything just because you reviewed this printer twice, and I trust your judgment. I am NIT disappointed. I am making all kind of things now, from thingiverse (now printing the big t-res project submitted by makers bot). Learning how to design my own things now in Solid Edge. Thanks for everything. Linear rails RULE!
Great project ... and another great video! I was just disappointed because I was expecting a Rick Roll .... never gonna give you up on the singing coils at the end :) :)
Is the fume extraction a real fume extractor or just a vacuum? Might be a stupid question, but I'm looking for ideas for fume extraction for a hobby workstation.
It's a real UK made Bofa fume extractor with a catalog of safety tests and certificates. I've heard rumors about welectron getting some QUICK ones eventually, those might be better.
If you go on the Aliexpress, you can pick up a way better one under 200 dollars. Obviously, you may have to puzzle it together using chinese instruction and have to change out the 5% resistors, but for the 1/3 of the price of OneTesla it is rather good. I ordered one that was really nice, came with a giant heatsink and other stuff, but i never assembled it, may have to dig it up and try it out.
I was just about to ask if you found a purpose for the JMC servo. It appears you did! Does that reflect what you think of the servo or is it just something you had within reach for a quick setup?
@@reps Happy to hear that. Ive got them still collecting dust on a shelf. I have 3 (of the 180w version) but no time to start the project. Looking forward to seeing a video where they are put to some serious use. Mind sharing what that is or do you want to keep it a secret untill the video?
Thanks for the video! I've been looking at their designs, but it seems some of the clearances on the high voltage driver board are really low, which has me a little worried. The negative lead of C11 (main bus cap) and it's output trace are almost touching, as well as the earth traces running right next to the 230V input and fuse. What is your view on this?
That is a great magazine, as it is like poplar electronics, but printed today. Like so many things today, they are not made here. There is another electronics magazine it is from India. The USA quit making electronics magazines years ago of any good.

The flaming thumbs up was an awesome finale!
7:47 We need more electronics humor like this. You, sir, are amazing.
2 Marco videos in one week, WOOHOO!
And if I'm not entirely mistaken, even if he was really just doing a frequency sweep, it sounded like he was playing the intro to Phantom of the Opera as a test for the remote, which when performed by Nightwish has the male part sung by a Marko.
that LGBT joke :D
Now I want rainbow colored thermal glue :)
it was great
And they say Germans don't have a sense of humor? I miss my time in Hamburg, Germany! Happy days. 😂😂😂😂😂
He forgot the WTFBBQ, though.
Did you just assume my gate voltage?!
Man, this outro was great...

I love the This Old Tony style build video!
But he didn't use his -cat- dog to produce parts for it.
Love the terminator “burning thumbs up” at the end
Those colors on the LGBTs tho! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
The pokemon theme was on point. Damn.

Best tip in this video was the torch popping bubbles in epoxy!
Thank you very much for the 4 month Elektor trial subscription Marco! :D No CC or Payment method needed it's a true trial edition!
Always clever. Always entertaining. Subtle humor throughout. And the burning glove adds that much appreciated Reps twist.
You made better assembly video than electroboom
But he didn't get shocked once :(
@@matthewsmith5883 yes that's true but i mean that he didn't post all the steps he did, in one video☺
I can't stand Electroboom
Electroboom did better video it is more funny. 😂
12:40 you dont want that yellow clip to disconnect
Marco’s videos are like my step dad when he hits me. It never gets boring
I have this kit and yes, you can touch it and it's really fun and only hurts a little bit.
The humour is pure genius!
I’m dead! This is my 1st video and only 3 min I’m rolling on the floor. Subscriber for life...
Probably the only Electronics Channel on RUclips who uses Memes in his videos! Great Stuff Dude Cheers!!!
The man is a wordsmith... Really digging these videos 🍺
Dude, I'm finding myself rewatching your videos, and I'm still entertained! For me this is totally unheard of as I basically never watch a youtube video again! (Ok, that's a lie, I sometimes rewatch TOT-videos..)
Oh man between the through hole component and the LGBTs this is amazing

I found shellac the least lossy, spar varnish and solvent based urethane coming up next with the advantage of being less likely to fracture with handling.
You are a true perfectionist. If I ever buy a Tesla coil kit, I want you to assemble it! If you ever come out with a Tesla coil kit, I want to buy it!
Nice LGBT reference (considering that the completed device is BDSM XD). Didn't noticed it until read the comments (was scratching my head thinking "what's the deal with those color tinted LGBTs")
And thanks for the Elektor heads up!
12:35 best trick ever hahahahaha so much TERMINATOR POWEEEEEERRRR
12:50 best watching in slow motion
do u knwo the sang at 12:50??
Damn, I really love your videos, and your dry German humour :)

Dude, that elektor membership is so cool! I will be digging into those back issues big time. Thanks again Marco!!!!!!
Apart from the obvious part size problems, I think it is a well thought of and very smart looking design. Thanks for the video, it is a good one!
Highly entertaining as always! Thanks Marco!
Thumbs up for your MIDI file selection!
What is the last song? I know it but can't remember why...

Thanks for the magazines Elektor Magazine
Excellent! I really appreciate the educational explanations as you build the board.
WOW, a free subscription?! AMAZING! Thats almost as good as your content!
Marco providing the goods :D

Wow, thank you so much for the second video and the FREE magazine!!!
your editing always gives me a tickle

nice vid as always
A Very cool video. The music was better than I was expecting as well. Cheers!
A wild Tesla coil has appeared! It's super effective!
LOL, the groans and grunts got me.... Even better, Game of Thrones theme :)
I love the dry humor 😊😊😊
I love your videos. Always excited when a new one comes out.
One of your best videos yet! Keep up the great work :)
Enjoy capillary action
That’s is seriously cool. Going to have to get one of those.
Free stuff! Thanks Marco
Your Jack Russell is so cute. Best dogs EVER !
This video is fire... at least towards the end.
I've been wanting to get one for a while but kinda forgot about it, will need to think about that again... Especially since I have a nixie clock now 😂
What if that alligator clip falls off? haha
shocking experience
Very nicely done build!
Moin!

Beautiful and entertaining. Much cheaper than One Gigavolt contraption...
Alcohol and high voltage -great way to create and experience plasma.
Instead of spring washers rather use locking nuts or locktide.See Ave's video about it
there's a cmos killer on the road
If you pay the Tesla store the $25 dollar assembly charge to have them put it together, you won't lose sleep over the superficial scratching on the glossy black finish....
one of the best videos ever
Did i see a Pace soldering iron there!! Points for style.
I think I would use it as door bell right above the door frame - on the outside of course! 😙🎶
Mamma Mia! That's a spicy arc!
Ain't cheap but looks quite impressive. Thanks for detailing the build.
Tesla Throne theme song was pretty good

You’re onto something with the Tesla-Doner Kebab hybrid though.
If you go on the Aliexpress, you can pick up a way better one under 200 dollars.
Obviously, you may have to puzzle it together using chinese instruction and have to change out the 5% resistors, but for the 1/3 of the price of OneTesla it is rather good.

Outstanding video!!
7:30, spotted the Jenoptik 808nm laser diode pump source in the background, is his from another project?
You missed the opportunity for the most dangerous rickroll ever
We already had that not a week ago on Applied Science. Maybe not the most dangerous but still suitably shocking.
@@SianaGearz yeah, using EL grid to play a video is pretty amazing
Free Elektor magazines? *yoink*
lmao playing 8 year old memes on a tesla coil, no wonder im subbed to this channel. Keep it up marco!
Nice, love the doom theme👍😀
