Without a Breakout Point

Nottingham 2011: 7kW~
This was shot by someone else and nicely captures the coil running without a breakout point.

With and without a Breakout Point

Nottingham 2011: 7kW~
This is nearly 6 mins in total and was shot by someone else and links to their YouTube page.
The first half is about 80% power, the second half uses full power at some points.

Nottingham Part 1

Nottingham 2011: 7kW~
This is with and without a breakout point to hit an earthed screen at eight feet or so.

Nottingham Part 2

Nottingham 2011: 7kW~
This is using a breakout point to hit an earthed screen placed eight feet or so away.

Big Tesla Coil Time Lapse

Nottingham 2011: 7kW~
Time lapse of the set-up and a short run.

8 inch with Breakout Point

Cambridge 2010: 6kW~
Shot during the initial setting up stage when I was tuning it. Power and capacitor were slightly lower than above in 2011

The 8 inch with a BP

Cambridge 2010: 6kW~
I once saw another video of a coil shot from this angle, and it shows up ground strikes quiet nicely. Admittedly the other coil was more impressive, but it was also a lot more powerful.
The strike screen is about 8 feet away and the ground strikes are just over 6 feet.

The 8 inch with and without a BP

Cambridge 2010: 6kW~
Another unusual angle, this time the camera and tripod were perched precariously on a rickety wooden table.

Apologies for my take-off of the famous quote from the 1979 film 'Apocalypse Now', you can hear at the end.

Eight Inch on a Pig

Cambridge 2009: 6kW~

This was running with a blown static gap. Shortly after this I changed to a 200 bps synchronous rotary.

A Nice Streamer Strike
Although the strikes shown above and below were not measured, strong streamers in excess of 3 times the secondary length have been achieved.

This shows how an initial 'streamer' can occur and heat up the air immediately above it. This makes the air more conductive so a fresh streamer follows the line of pre-heated air and makes another streamer. This in turn heats a new path higher up, and so the cycle repeats. Each new streamer following the same winding path of the one underneath.



Tesla Coil sparks 5

4.7 inch, 10Kv NST powered coil.

The fluorescent tube above the coil is switched off and is glowing solely from the RF energy of the coil.
