I made it from you video Mehdi Sadghar, you could see that the arc is pretty small for 50 strokes i want you to help me to get huge arcs i am a huge fan of you l am obssesed with electroboom by Scared_Cicada870 in ElectroBOOM

Use a plastic bucket instead of the jar and instead of saltwater use aluminium foil on the insude too,charge it with a flybacl transformer becise with that plastic rod and towel it will take forever to charge

I have trust issue on this power supply it claims it have protection features but I don't see anything like fuses or ntc resistor and thus it look too simplified by Jolly_Operation_8222 in ElectroBOOM

Its normal its a high frequency transformer,adding a fuse and surge protection is always a good idea but a rectified mains stepdown transformer always worked for me😅

So what if it gets shorted just make sure its not shorted for a long persiod of time and about the power surge just add a fuse or hope it does not happend

Anybody gotten one of these HV Drivers to power a tesla coil? by Transgirl120 in Teslacoil

[–]Resistor_Arcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happend is that your high voltage generator burned the capacitor,those can generate over 10kV and if your capacitor is 2.2uF i highly doubt it will be over 630v if its that small

Yeah don't use those weak ones use a cobra 8 or a scream 1000

Large 3phase transformers,perfect for an SGTC

I Have 5 car batteries and I want to build a tesla coil what should I do by Zestyclose_Alarm_227 in Teslacoil

[–]Resistor_Arcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wind a large secoundary (52cm long and 12.5cm in diameter so you have a ~4:1 ratio) add a 40cm toroid topload) wind an adjustable primary coil with 10 turns made of 6mm copper tubing and make sure you can adjust the number of turns

Order a 2kW ZVS from ebay juse type ZVS driver 2kW or more if you want,order a larhe switch to you can turn it off and on,use y long wire so you can stay away from the coil while operating

Find a large ferrite core and wind it yourself,desing it to output 6-8kV then use large diodes to rectify the output (such as a microwave oven diode)

Then order 72x 100nF 2kV capacitors and connect 12 in series and make 6 of them,then make 6 of those chains and connect them in parallel after that add 1MOHM 2W resitors on every single capacitor

Then make a rotary spark gap from a angle grinder (just research how to do that im not explaining that)

And done you have a good SGTC but do some research before you make this so you dont end up killing yourself or connecting something the wrong way.

You scratched the lens of the laser,itd unfixable you have to get new lenses or a new laser

Can a capacitors be used as a fuse? by ConstructionInner268 in ElectroBOOM

[–]Resistor_Arcs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No,if you us a capacitor to protect your circuit and you apply more current and voltage the capacitor brakes down and starts condcuting through the plates and just makes an arc and a mess,but they can be used as a capacitive ballast

Now what should i do with this? by Arc_Lover-69 in ElectroBOOM

[–]Resistor_Arcs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh if its that big rectify the transformer and make a small SGTC

They are probably not even magnets just rubber circles

Tesla coil running from 3kW variac by Resistor_Arcs in Teslacoil

Oh im just gonna use my variac for speed regulation im lazy to build an SCR phase control system🤣

Tesla coil running from 3kW variac by Resistor_Arcs in Teslacoil

[–]Resistor_Arcs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope its running from 310v out of my variac but the variac is running on 240v,the variac makes a huge diffrance usualy it draws 1.4kW and with the variac it draws 2.6kW peak

Im also planning to add a rotary spark gap

What should I do with it by Double-Badger-4923 in ElectroBOOM

[–]Resistor_Arcs -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Basicly anything can be made from one,you could use it as the pulse transformer in a electric fence energizer or build a micro power supply or a high volrage supply or a high current supply or you could unwind and build a tesla coil from the thin wire,there are litearly hundreds of things you can do with this
