Induction Coil Help - Output Voltage & Tesla Coil Use

[mahdir24]

ok, i recently acquired a 25mm spark gap induction coil. the input voltage is 6v dc. how can i know what the output voltage is? also, i want to use this as a substitue in place of a nst to power a 6'' tesla coil. will it work? i mean the basic idea is ot the a high voltage input and the induction coil can do that.
Please post back! Thanks!

hi,
i'm also using an induction coil to carryout an experiment in studying behaviour of hydrogen in an electric field.but i don't know much abt induction coils...i guess in order to calculate the output you have to know the no: of turns in the primary and the secondary...to determine the output voltage...from E=V/d u can determine the field...
am i correct?

No. Transformers, induction coils and Tesla coils are three different animals.

this graph gives a rough estimate of the output depending on the spark length
