Tesla coils are very exciting and can be made fairly easily with a few feet of copper wire, and some capacitors. here\u2019s a schematic for you smart folks: $\"Tesla$ <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Essentially, all they require is:<\/p>\n

A high voltage power supply.<\/li>\n

A bunch of capacitors.<\/li>\n

A freaking TON of copper wire wound into a coil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
That’s all there is to it. They’re simpler than most people think. In fact, it’s probably harder to wind the wire into a coil than it is to find and assemble all the parts. The hardest part is finding a high voltage DC power supply. They cost hundreds of dollars, or you can just make your own for much cheaper. We’ll have a tutorial on the details at some point.<\/p>\n
Plenty of people on the internet have made Tesla coils, but this is one of our favorites<\/a>. Sam Freeman’s coil requires beer bottles. This redneck nerd gets the official Blasted Science Seal of Approval.<\/span><\/p>\n
Let’s assume for a moment that you have a competed Tesla coil. Why stop there? Here are some things you can do to it to make it even better. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\nWe’re ashamed to admit that we haven’t made our own Tesla coil yet, but we definitely will at some point. And when we do, we’ll have a tutorial detailing exactly how to do it with household parts. But if that sounds like too much work, you can buy a small one for just a few dollars. We’ve personally tested this one from Amazon. It’s a very good miniature plasma globe, which, as you may have guessed, is just a Tesla coil in a plastic globe. Definitely check this one out. \n<\/span><\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ac&ref=tf_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=blastscien-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B008PO5QKW&asins=B008PO5QKW&linkId=VPXDRTOJSUU5W2W2&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"> <\/p>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Building one is a big accomplishment in the DIY electronics world.
