8000FPS Slow Motion Tesla Coil Spark Formation and Collapsing Hot Spots

Leave a Comment / Slowmotion, Tesla Coils / /

Slow motion Tesla Coil recordings of SSTC sparks. Recorded at 8000 frames per second and replayed at 15-30 frames per second. Notice the step leader, known from natural lightning strikes and the hot spots that might be forming from collapsing plasma channels. Join the discussion at High Voltage Forum about these high speed video recordings […]

Project Documentation: Tesla Coil Soft Start Safety Box

Leave a Comment / Tesla Coils / /

The Tesla coil Soft Start Safety Box project has been finished. The first version of my soft start box for 3 phased 400 VAC loads was just that, a soft start box. I wanted to include safety features like fault detection and emergency stop, but I also wanted to remain galvanically isolated from the mains

Tesla Coil Show Controller – Battery and Power Supply (Part 8 of 8)

Leave a Comment / Tesla Coils / /

The show controller can be powered from 230VAC or from a USB power bank. I install a input, power supply, USB meter, 20000 mAh power bank, switch and USB outputs. If you missed the first 7 parts of this project, check out the earlier videos here: Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad2129sZv6w Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQZj8DPNvJg Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCFt82_SrNI

Tesla Coil Show Controller – Safety Features (Part 7 of 8)

Leave a Comment / Tesla Coils / /

In this video I install and test the safety features. A lot of the original plan to have the safety relay in the show controller has changed and instead turned into a separate project, with building a soft start safety box that receives a special emergency signal from the controller. A encoded signal (666 Hz)
