Hello everybody! :D
Im building a tesla coil for a science fair and needed some help with it. For the toroid, I got a rubber pipe which I intend to bend to a toroid and wrap with aluminum tape. Will this work? How will it be different if I use a metallic sphere?
Also, for the spark gap, should I use thick bolts or thinner ones?
Some details about my coil:
Transformer- NST, 9kV, 30 mA
Secondary coil- 0.5mm copper wire, about 600 turns
Primary- 1/4 inch copper tubing. 6 turns
I might use this thread to post more questions in the future. Any help would be great! :D
Thanks..!
