So long story short, made it into a tesla coil after a long time, then slung the lot in a box. And ive now got a tesla coil!! The output is a little purple haze around the wire, it don't work with a topload, definitely no streamers :-( The specs are: Unknown turns secondary Unknown wire guage Unknown output voltage Unknown flyback output Unknown MMC bank value Unknown operating frequancy Unknown power input/output But I do know: Based on a 555 timer 4 turns primary Flyback as HV transformer capacitors are fed a lot more voltage than rated Gets very hot Static spark gap Total cost: £0.00 Pictures: http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l178/binary10101/tesla.jpg http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l178/binary10101/teslainside.jpg http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l178/binary10101/Purplehaze.jpg What do you think of it? Can I touch the output safely and draw sparks from my fingers? I made this with no calculations I am amazed and so so happy that it worked.
