Hey guys!
I'm kinda a n00b as far as circuitry goes, but am trying my hand at making a vacuum tube tesla coil, based on the tutorial at:http://www.instructables.com/id/How-To-Build-A-Vacuum-Tube-Tesla-Coil-VTTC/?ALLSTEPS.
The circuit diagram for the project is http://www.stevehv.4hv.org/VTTC1/dual811Aschematic.JPG, with a few modifications.
I need help figuring out a couple of things:
1. Do I use the entire 100ft and 1000ft of wire respectively for the primary and the secondary coils?
2. How do I connect the components? Regular home wiring with rubber sheath?
3. Where do I connect what as far as the transformers go (which one to electric plug, which one to coil etc.)?
4. What can I make the toroid of?
4. If my secondary coil is 11in. high and around a 2in. wide pipe, what changes do I need to make?
5. What terminals of the vacuum tube triode do I connect where?
6. What is in parallel with R1 in the diagram, just before series connection to the triodes?
Thanks in advance, and pardon my ignorance.
