The idea of creating arcs and watching them fascinates me since childhood. When I was just a kid I saw on TV that guys passing millions of volts through their body and performing shows by using Tesla coil. Now i want my own, just to clear not the one that produces millions of volts but its should be enough that could create arcs of about 4 to 5 inches.
I did some research on it on internet and found slayer exciter circuit that does the same but is inefficient in creating arcs. On YouTube i found ELECTROBOOMs' schematic that is powerful enough to create arcs but lacks auto adjustment of resonance frequency. GREATSCOTTs' design requires oscilloscope for tuning it and so its out of my scope.
So i want a guide who can guide me to make a schematic that is powerful enough to create arcs and also not that much complicated.
Actually I've made the secondary of Tesla coil which contains 1200 rounds of 36 gauge wire around 4.5cm core. And it works fine with poor man's slayer exciter.
If the dimensions are less I will pump it up if needed, all i want is it to work.
Also i have plans for merging both the schematics, if that is possible. Here's the circuit diagram of GREATSCOTTs
And here is ELECTRRBOOMs
Thanks
