That "METAL OBJECT" is NOT for beauty it is to increase the capaticence to all the surroundings and return decrease the resonant frequency, so our mosfet/transistor doesnt havo to work that hard.
Your bread board is in electronics parlance "perf board" breadboards are the white plastic one that you can plug components in for prototyping a circuit before assembly. perf board is a perforated board with solder points.
Wow 5 hours to wind your secondary. I managed to wind 1000T of 0.4mm wire in an hour by hand onto a 90mm pipe. I would say it helped a lot to have a 4kg spool of wire that was on a rod which provided resistance. All I had to do was keep the feed angle correct and the wire fed itself on.
yes, you can but with a potentiometer and nor a potenciometer :P! The exact type of regulation will depend on the design though. For a Slayer, it is transistor bias and for a more complex design, it put a pwm interrupter.
And here I am who wound like 640T of around 0.127 mm wire in 10 hours, yes.. 10 hrs without break.. 😵, had to unwind a bit many times in between cuz it loves to overlap so much.... Oh also the pipe thickness was 225 mm (dia)
i'm not sure but you could touch the sparks because you connected the circuit's GND on neutral, if you connect it on the live wire you still get the same sparks but you'll get shocked by the 220V jumping the arc to your fingers because the sparks are conductive and the ground reference is now oscillating along the live wire plus or munus the mosfet's gate polarization, that is small compared
Can we use a full bridge rectifier? The circuit would theoretically be far more powerful. Also, i think you have too many primary windings. If you used 3 windings, the arc would be twice as long. And BTW, put a loading resistor on the output windings of your ballast transformer, and you can get more power from it. If you used a REALLY big high-wattage potentiometer, you could have an adjustable ballast.
i'd strongly advise using large and short tube for secondary instead of long and thin one for better magnetic coupling and dont stretch the primary, because the secondary would try to arc trough the primary
Gotin Fuklio I make my primaries 3 times the diameter of the secondary and no taller then one third of the secondary's length. makes for cool transistors, lots of plasma and a safe setup.
@@dylanm.3692For many reasons. Most of them because its not the right circuit. The rest because it doesn't perform like a slayer. The tesla coil style inductors part is the only thing it has in common with a slayer. P. S. Be careful if you try to replicate this. Its got significant electrocution and fire hazards that a Slayer does not have.
@@MongrelShark You'll have to elaborate on that, because to me it looks exactly like any slayer exciter circuit besides the mains voltage. And I've built many SSTCs.
yes, but you need to use a driver. You can however audio modulate a bjt slayer exciter directly with pretty much any transformer, however as a mosfet amplifies change in voltage, you need to get the transfomer just right in order for this to work directly.
You wound this coil with 1150 turns on secondary, in about 5 hours. I wound mine, the same pvc pipe diameter with 3547 turns on secondary in 6 hours. But I am skilled transformer/coil winder without machines, so I don't disrespect you :D
L1 and L2 can have any turns you want (other circuits ive seen similar to this one use a turn ratio of 1 turn on the primary to 160 turns on the secondary), since the circuit has a feedback system which will tune itself to the resonance frequency of your coil, L3 is just a ballast with the impedance of 30 - 60 ohms, which helps lower the current so that your mosfet doesnt blow up. You should use one that doesnt warm up as quickly tho, because otherwise it might blow up.
Sorry for the late reply, but this should answer your questions. in regards to the turns of L1 and L2, if you have a coil with 800 turns, you should use 5 turns on the primary. Ive heard it works best, but you can test out combinations with what works best.
No it can burn your finger... But...staying near high voltage radiation or electromagnetic radiation all the time can cause cancer..🙄 Which a tesla coil produces...
@@Buzzhumma L3 is a choke used to limit current and can be swapped out for a resistive load instead. The higher the wattage rating of your choke is, the more current will flow, which means larger arcs but overheating mosfet. Most mains slayer exciters use about 40-80 watts. L2 is the primary coil and does not have the same inductance as L3 nor L1 since one is a ballast and the other the secondary coil. The primary is being driven at the resonant frequency, but there's no resonant cap.
i'm sorrry... can I use different type of transformer as L3 in the circuit instead of toroid ac transformer you used? and if so how many ampere does the circuit require from the transformer?
Hi, I'm trying to make this tesla coil for almost over 3 months, I tried everything!!! but as soon as I plug it into power, nothing happens and my MOSFET dies, 1400 secondary / 7-10 primary turns, 40w magnetic ballast, UF 5408, 12v Zenor diode, 1uf MKP, 12 Kohm 3w resistor, 10k pot. also tried using 1 and 2 40w magnetic ballast but the same results! I killed almost 10 irf460 in the process but no results, can you help me plz
guys I am having a really hard time getting my tesla coil or slayer exciter or whatever you wanna call it to work. I am using a working npn transistor I have made like 3 coils one around a ball point pen one around a medicine bottle and now one around a seringe previously used to refill printers but not one has worked I can't get a light bulb to light up I have checked my connections a thousand times I have used all different voltages all the way up to 12 volts and nothing. I used some brand new magnetic wire from radio shack and used a wire with insulation around it for second winding being slightly larger in diameter. I have made many circuits I am new to making circuits but I am not that bad I have watched tons of video's read up on how to on the internet and it just boggles my mind! If anyone could help me I would appreciate it I am thinking about making a video showing what I did and it not working just to prove I have carefully replicated a slayer exciter. I can't believe I have been trying to build this thing for a month now it is really embarrassing!!!!!!!!!
captain42979 Perhaps you have reversed the winding of your coil? The circuit depends on which direction the power flows off the coils to switch the transistor. At least, that's what I understand. Everything else is polarized, which must match exactly. Your coil is the only polarity that isn't pre-marked. Do you have it wired properly for throwing the transistor on and off? That's what makes it vibrate and why your coils do not have to be tuned and why critics say its not a Tesla coil. The power turns on the transistor which lights up the primary. The secondary has to be wired to turn the base off, usually by a reverse biased diode that counteracts the bias voltage on the transistor. The transistor shuts off. The both coils shut off, and the power can properly bias the base again to power up the primary. The Tesla coil has a secondary that runs free of the primary except for the field feedback. So it vibrates with the primary and gets reinforced by switching as fast as the primary even though its much longer. It has to have about the same mass as the primary and also have a multiple turn count that is a whole number multiple of the primary so the Oberth effect will pump the output above a typical multiplication of coil to coil voltage level. That's what resonance is all about. A properly tuned Tesla coil will have the same inductance and capacitance of the primary as a base multiple of the secondary inductance and capacitance. Total power will be limited by the resistance of the wires in this case. The comment of only producing transverse waves is not exactly accurate. If the top lead is a single wire, it acts as an antenna and produces transverse waves. If the top lead is a properly shaped coil or flat surface, it will produce longitudinal waves. The Sphere produces spherical longitudinal waves. Both Tesla spark gap circuits and Slayer/transistor circuits are powered by both transverse (charge) and longitudinal (dielectric) energy in a transverse powered mode. Tesla realized that dielectric energy is like a soft spring, kind of mushy. With high voltage you can pre-compress large amounts of dielectric energy and make it more like the tight spring of voltage or charge energy. The dielectric energy is pretty much un-shield-able. It is what characterizes magnetic fields (although in that configuration the charge is on the inside of the dielectric energy, but that's another story). But to get it launched takes a pretty significant charge to organize and push it (with high frequency). When you do, it travels faster than light and will convert to charge when it hits a properly tuned metal receiver. This is how Tesla coils and hairpin circuits transmit power. Bipolar Tesla coils and the Hairpin circuit will cancel out the voltage (if wired properly) but pack a lot of dielectric energy that will pass through all kinds of non-conductors to be converted to regular power on contact with metal. Which is why you can hold a fluorescent bulb and move your hand near a Tesla coil and light the bulb or bring the bulb directly in range.
The longitudinal waves do come off either design which can be verified with a standard light bulb with no connections. The dielectric energy will penetrate the glass and charge the gas and filament, creating ion arcs and corona. Not the work of transverse power which would stick to the conductors and just heat the filament.

Isn't this a Slayer Exciter, but running directly of mains power?
basically
Can you please tell me what is differnce between Tesla coil and Slayer Exciter ?
No difference. A slayer exciter is a driving circuit, and the Tesla coil is a resonant transformer that is being driven.
Thanks, and can you please tell me if i can regulate 2000V input tesla coil with potenciometer ? thanks for answers
yes, you can but with a potentiometer and nor a potenciometer :P! The exact type of regulation will depend on the design though. For a Slayer, it is transistor bias and for a more complex design, it put a pwm interrupter.
Instead of this ballast can we use 40v 2amp transformer

he just said thats not a true tesla coil its a different variation of one
prototype9000 i just said that there are important rules when winding HF HV transformers. what does it matter what powers the primary?
Gotin Fuklio You could try coating the winding with a polyethylene wrap to reduce arcing. it would take several layers but they are thin.
Johnson K. Angel anything AC is a transverse signal not scalar.
