    How to optimize spark gap Tesla coils

    My elementary school had its first annual science fair a few weeks ago, so me and my friend signed up and we decided to do it on wireless electricity. So naturally, we built a tesla coil. It took a couple of tries, but we eventually got it to barely illuminate a portion of a fluorescent light...

    How to optimize spark gap Tesla coils?

    Wow, thank you so much! I did not expect this much detail on my first post, but I'll be working on it over the next few weeks, now that I know what I'm doing :)

    How to optimize spark gap Tesla coils?
