Read above post also. The most epic thing ever made. There are multiple types, such as Spark Gap Tesla Coils (
SGTC),
Solid State Tesla Coils (
SSTC), Dual Resonant Solid State Tesla Coils(
DRSSTC), Vacuum Tube Tesla Coils (VTTC), and High Frequency Solid State Tesla Coils (HFSSTC) , and much more. All Tesla Coils are transformers. They look like weird, thin, and shiny towers. Their size can vary, from the 3 inch tall desktop models, to the 7 feet tall garage models, to the 200 ft tall Lightning Lab models. I need to explain over couple of posts because there isn't enough space to contain all the awesomeness I am about to explain.
I love
Tesla Coils. The longer, taller, and wider they are, the better. The more powerful
the Tesla Coil, the better. I love that white stuff coming from that top. The more of it, the better.
I need a constant stream of water on my secondary coil when shining it. I need to put
one coat of polyurethane on it, sand it down in the water, poly it again, and sand it down, about 10 times for a nice shine. It gets pretty cold outside so I just take it into the shower with me.
