Description: Just some more videos of the coil in operation. Still not exactly tuned, and I need to make a new flat spiral primary. |

| gt4awd ::: Favorites 2007-08-12 12:12:16 Ebay is a good place to order the capacitors. Get the Cornell capacitors rated for pulse duty. Good luck with your coil setup. __________________________________________________ | |
| DarkTemp0 ::: Favorites 2007-06-27 17:51:24 well in the tube you have there is argon at low presure, argon has the lowest ionizing energy level, that means you can turn it into plasma with little energy (if i remember well it ionises at about 40 volts) and it contains mercury vapors in order to help UV emision. __________________________________________________ | |
| DarkTemp0 ::: Favorites 2007-06-27 17:48:09 it's just like a high power radio and the bulb is the antena the gas is the excited medium (like the metal in a radio's antena) and you are the way to the ground. It does not work with air at normal atmospheric presure because air is a mixture of gases with diferent ionizing energies and diferent wavekengths emision __________________________________________________ | |
| DarkTemp0 ::: Favorites 2007-06-27 17:41:16 well the begining looks promising :) you'll learn all of this in a short while because you will need them just be patient. I have 3 coils right now but without having the rarified gas it won't work. The gas gets excited and releases UV light wich in turn excites the phosphors. And thi is posible because of the radio frequency waves released by the coil. Just like a radio recieves the waves from a station the tube recieves them from the coil __________________________________________________ | |
| gt4awd ::: Favorites 2007-06-27 03:43:55 Thanks for clearing that up DarkTemp. I'm not the smartest when it comes to all the scientific stuff, but I try my best to learn. Still new to all of this. I do know the terms such as induction, current, ground, etc. Thinking the coil may "light up" the phosphorous coating without the gas present though. My coil setup is no longer. Just recently started working again on the new setup. Do you have a coil to do this test? Break open a CFL to release the gas, and see if it still glows. __________________________________________________ | |
| DarkTemp0 ::: Favorites 2007-06-25 20:37:17 emmm nope :) the neon does not get electrons or UV light from the coil, what happens is that the radio frequency electromagnetic waves from the coil "excites" the gas in the bul, it induces a curent (see faraday's law), when the gas in the bulb gets excited it emits light (mainly UV) the UV light emited by the gas in the bulc excites the phosphors. The circuit is made like this: waves from the coil -> induction (that's where the curent starts up) -> ground (through your body) __________________________________________________ | |
| gt4awd ::: Favorites 2007-06-24 06:31:56 The neon bulbs phosphorous coating is very sensitive to any electrical field (ultraviolet radiation/electrons). This causes the phosphorous coating on the bulb to create visible radiation (light). At least this is my basic understanding of what happens. To put it simple... The bulbs coating is receiving wireless electricity, and lighting up. __________________________________________________ | |

| gt4awd ::: Favorites 2007-06-09 06:35:22 The predicted maximum spark length of using my 9kv 30ma NST (Allanson) is 24 inches. I was only able to get about 14 inch MAX spark length. The coil setup was not perfect though, and my inductor in the Tesla circuit was too small. Meaning energy lost that is not coupled to the secondary. __________________________________________________ | |
| Photon123 ::: Favorites 2007-06-06 16:44:48 Nice....I'm working on one with a bit smaller coil size on both but with a 9kv 30ma transformer. I'm assuming that is what you are using here???? I hope to acheive similar results. I've got the math done so now I need to go get my capacitors __________________________________________________ | |
| gt4awd ::: Favorites 2007-05-06 15:55:48 Glad you like. I didn't like the setup very much and tore it down a few months ago. Making a lot better, new setup right now. I hated that primary support and primary coil. __________________________________________________ | |
| newtonianbarf ::: Favorites 2007-05-06 15:25:51 I like it! I'm building one about the same size pretty soon. __________________________________________________ | |
