What`s the amperage on that thing

Nice video. Tell me aren't you endangering your TV and Stereo by operating the TC so close?I ran a fairly TC large upstairs room and it set off my house alarm downstairs and it messed up the alarm system and had to be replaced. Now I get so worried about other electrical equipments nearby when operating a TC.I want to know what happens if an iron core is placed inside the coil and filled the whole coil in oil. What would the performance be like?

does the Tesla coil always give out a high frequency,so that that mean i could touch a Tesla coil with a rod?Because I would like to try this for the science fair.

technically you could say the terran created it lol. cause we are technically the terran in the game lol. the greatest terran, which would be tesla.lol

...You'll probably want to start with the secondary winding first, because you will sort of build the coil around it. That 2-inch tube will work fine, although I've found that acrylic is kind of hard to wind on because it's so slippery. You'll want to use 26 or 28 gauge magnet wire, about 750 turns. Check out the videos I made to see if they help you. Let me know if you have any questions.

Sure, check out my videos. I have a two-part video showing how to build a Tesla Coil. It covers all the basics. For now, you should build a small one using your 6kv 30ma transformer. The 12kv transformer would be a bigger, more complicated project because everything would have to be insulated for the higher voltage and able to handle twice as much power, especially the spark gap.

ct92404,I would like to make a small coil like the one in this video. Do you think you could help me design one? I have the power supply, 6Kv 30ma neon transformer and a 12kv 60ma trans. Also have some high voltage ceramic doorknob caps. I have an acrylic tube for the secondary, 2 inch diameter. Just don't know where to start? Could you help or at least send me in the right direction? Thanks, Rob.

I was wondering ct92404 could I use a flyback transformer for a power supply for a small TC?I have a working flyback transformer video on my channel if you could check it out and let me know

You should do a video on good ways to wind coils if you make another TC
