you made the mistake of not building an electric chair for the wife first!

I'd suggest joining the TCBOUK list (Tesla Coil Builders of the UK) and going to one of their Teslathons or Gaussfests held in Nottingham and Derby. I've been and they're an entertaining trip

Here's my small coil in action with links to my other high voltage stuff to the right -

3 years later I'm now on my 3rd coil heres a video of the last one

 

My new one has a 6" secondary with a 6x24" toroid, I'm way outside my comfort zone as I'm going to be using 4 Microwave transformers to power it

It's something I have wanted to do, read up on it a little etc, but can never afford the components!

I have a small one.. er.. I mean a small Tesla coil.

 

Its from an old plasma ball that broke and it works on 5V USB.
