How to make Tesla Coil. Simple solid state Tesla coil also called slayer exciter circuit (A Slayer Exciter is an air-cored transformer that steps up a very low DC voltage to a very high AC voltage) Its is a simplest Tesla Coil and class 8th to above students can build under parents or teacher supervision.
What is Tesla Coil? A Tesla coil is an electrical resonant transformer circuit invented by Nikola Tesla around 1891. It is used to produce high-voltage with low-current and high frequency of alternating-current electricity. Tesla experimented with a number of different configurations consisting of two, or sometimes three, coupled resonant electric circuits. Read more.

Will my tesla coil still work without a heat sink and a capacitor? Please reply ASAP. Cause in some videos I noticed no use of capacitor just LED, resistor and transistor
capacitor protects the transistor to burn
I have been trying for so many days my tesla coil wont produce wireless spark pls help plssss
i use 30 guage wire with 700 secondary turn but its not working what can i do for that
can you share your project photos?
yes
Hello I posted the picture please help me.
: o
Where are photos?
1st try to invert 2nd coil connection and can you tell what is size and turns of primary coil?
I tried to invert the 2nd coil connection but did not work.
I replied already what do I do now.
The tube is 2.5 of diameter and 10 centimeters tall the tube and and only put 7.5 tall of copper.
The primary coil is 56 cm and have to loops around the copper tube.
your primary coil gauge seems thick it should be 30 gauge and turns should be more then 200
we need change the first coil ?
what about intersection of first coil to the transistor circuit?
the primary coil is 56 cm (red wire 300v - 20 ga) and have two loops around the cooper. the second coil is cooper 24 awg.

I also suggest about 2nd coil do not use this red plastic coated wire use pure copper 26 gauge wire
thanks you for your help it works. : )
Welcome
I used 24 gauge copper wire.
I recommend please use 26 to 30 gauge copper wire. And also used 24 or 26 gauge copper wire for secondary coil
Please can some one reply
My Tesla coil does not wont to turn on. But I am doing a different model of a Tesla coil it is for my science fair project please can you help me.
Can you share your project photos
Help me please, please. : )
Please help me.
Can you please help me I need it for tomorrow.
:)
Correct me if I am wrong, but the pictorial diagram is not correct. It appears that the LED is not wired in properly. It shows the Anode connected to the Base when it should be on the Emitter, and the Cathode is connected to the Emitter when it should be on Base. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/68712bf1d28c81d5a361a638433b927a93ed5b888ca3a39ac051bc016c4029a2.jpg
thank you for mention
and let me confirm
pls help me. I tried doing the same thing the battery heats up and yet theres no flow of electricity within the board. Pls help me. Its for my science project
can you share your project picture?
Here it is, pls help mee https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c44bd7e37afdec3ba9b4fca84e047c20fd97fe6114f8efec4ddb716ad86da817.jpg
Oh your battery connection is wrong please read board connection diagram
Still not working, i tried to change My circuit here it looks.
And my copper wire for secondary coil is 28G
primary coil is 22G.
I use npn transistor.
9 volts battery huhuhu. Whats wrong https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/78c5e8235b92cf75838b65bde8838d32b244309cdd93d803c746f18488bbd658.jpg
Your battery is shorted out to itself. Put the black wire into the other track. That's why it is getting hot. Here is an image showing how the tracks work on a breadboard. Keep in mind that some breadboards are different and will have a break in the center for the blue and red strips in the image. Another problem I have spotted is that your battery is not part of the circuit. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b6d32e22e5f5f0a5c3533efa3448e9b7e43ab913e51eac2f00757c0c37ae2eca.png
Ahh my battery connection is wrong. I'll try again. Thank you
Did you get the tesla coil to work?
Yes it works. But i used your other video. Instead of breadboard i use the soldering technique https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e319cf11417e45483268f5e40fcfacf2d89343ab8f9960018dcaf6997c40c28d.jpg
congrats!
Wow its look cool congrats!
Can i use othee bulbs other than cfl? What king and how many watts
No you don't use
Only cfl bulbs? But can it exceed in more than 5 watss?
any of cfl can work what ever its 5 watt or 100 watt
I want to innovate my tesla coil. I want to enlarge my secondary coil about 560 turns. How many turns should be my primary coil. And will it be okay to use the same transistor and resistor? Will it not heat up? Pls reply immediately. Thank you
For powerful tesla coil we recommend this post please visit https://paksc.org/pk/diy-projects/diy-tesla-coil-slayer-exciter/
And will my tesla improve if i put a top load, pingpong ball covered in aluminum foil ?
You should do experiment and share its results with us
why only CFL ??
any of cfl can work what ever its 5 watt or 100 watt
