How To Make Spark Gap Tesla Coil. This term describes the way in which the power is switched in the Tesla Coil. Understand the circuit diagram.
These coils were switched via a spark gap. The next step is to draw a template for the shape of the coil on paper. You can think of it as a switch.
This Tesla coil consists of two circuits a primary circuit and a secondary circuit see photos below The primary circuit has 4nF of 20kV capacitors a spark gap made from two nail heads and a coil of 7 turns of insulated 12AWG wire.
However since the mid 20th Century such transmitters have been replaced with modern radio systems. How to Build a Spark Gap Tesla Coil SGTC. A Tesla coil is usually a transformer with few turns on primary coil. Note that its designed for my small spark gap Tesla coil as worked out using the JavaTC calculator as I explained how to above.
