So Ive been wanting to build a solid SGTC since forever. Let’s do it.
PSU: Want some fat arks so daisy chaining off some MOT’s would do that. Don’t want to go NST, not punchy enoug Get my variac up to speed, needs a service and a home, but it can do 16amp.
SG: Air blown gap, use the shop air for quenching
Tank Cap: polly caps to form a MMC
Primary: ?
Secondary: ? Need to ballpark a resonance
Top piece thingy: Some ducting lying around
Any one want to help?
Electroboom’s stuff on slayer circuits is pretty good as an understanding of this stuff.
Also, I have one TinyTesla kit to assemble, @Wizard has one and @riumplus has a OneTeslaTS(Larger, can do better midi control) and we were thinking of doing a tesla build day.
Maybe we could all do these together on a weekend?
Sounds cool, was thinking of a secondary about 1.5 / 2m though!
If your planning on going that big, pass a thought to how your going to move it\ fence it, but it certainly sounds like it’ll be a cool project so I’m happy to help find parts\ lend a hand if I’m around when your working on it.
Just a suggestion on the spark gap quenching, you might be better off using a vacuum cleaner (stripped) or blower, which removes the need for access to compressed air.
