How to make a plasma Tesla Coil!
Published 2022-07-19
I'm back- going to be making 1 video each and every week!
Apologies this one is a bit all over the place, just getting my bearings back!
Wanted to build my own high voltage 10kV Tesla Coil using AC / Alternating Current. I started with DC which is less dangerous but eventually moved to AC- which was Tesla's preferred current type.
I took a 10,000 volt NST (Neon Sign Transformer) from a neon sign in my house, shorted it to make a spark gap to get alternating current then whacked in some Caps and a few coils!
Ideally I would like to build another huge Tesla Coil but I wouild need a lab to section off the plasma as it gives off pretty intense OV, ozone and it's very loud!
This has got me back into making experiments so now I've lined up 7 science videos over the next 7 weeks.
I'll add links to the sites I used. I could have made this video 2 hours long covering the maths and mechanics behind a TC so pls ask away if you have any questions! I didn't even really explain how this works and 15 minutes have been swallowed up already.
So few ideas for next videos, any suggestions?
1. Huge Tesla Coil with 5 NSTs / MOTs
2. Truth mirror
3. MS87 black hole
4. Mojo softcell contact lens (AR)
5. Google sentient AI
6. ?

Randomly stumbled upon this video, and I’m glad I did!! Great vid!

Wow, if only science was this fun when I was in school! I won't be trying it at home but I will be staying tuned for more... #encore

Albert and nikola tesla knew how to play in the Gamma waves. Tap into the Super conscious.

is that video from the one in New Zealand ? my son has a big one of these , he has been building it for years. Its super loud ! quite impressive and scarey. I used to have to sit there for hours in the cold holding the plug incase it goes tits up.

I know more stuff now. Thanks.

Who's testicles is he talking about? Or are the subtitles having a ball?
