Driving my Magic Wand Tesla Coil
Added 2023-09-28 22:21:14 +0000 UTCHELLO EVERYBODY! After a full year I got back to driving my magic wand! And I learned some truth about it, harshly!! Enjoy the video and THANKS for your support as always!

Hi Medhi. I realized that you had an issue last time you tried to make a tesla coil that fits in a handle of a flash light. But i have the solution! All you need is: IGBTs from an induction coocker, 500V rated smoothout capacitors, diodes, 20k Ohm resistors, and some strong lion battery cells from a laptop battery, secondary of a tesla coil, in that case 1400 turns, a aluminum topload to make the voltage even higher, and a relay and a press button, and for last you need a pvc pipe. This tesla coil type is called a QCW tesla coil and generates more then a half million volts per buttonpress or if the relay activates. The way it works is that you have 240V ac, in your case 120V ac, and you will have to convert the ac voltage into DC. Then we connect 4 of these huge 500V capacitors in parallel to get the capacitance we need. We also haave to make sure that the relay has a controller circuit that turns it on and off depending on the variable potentiometer, to adjust how many times it should arc. We also must connect 4 induction coocker IGBTS with diodes and resistors. It's very important to have a pre resistance, to avoid the IGBTS to blow up. I also recommend to use a mosfet driver IC that sends frequency pulses to the IGBTS. If you're done with it, then put everything into the pvc pipe. After doing the primary, 15 turns, and mounted the secondary then you will be able to enjoy a half meter arc per button press! You don't need a magic wand😉

Well, my tesla coil experience tells me that you did it right last, but here are some helpful tips: * A rotary spark gap creates a changing frequency and creates more electromagnetic fields * Try to adjust the spark gap while it's on, because different spark gap sizes makes different frequencies and electromagnetic fiels * Try to take apart a laptop battery and put tre cells in series, which increases the voltage and it can handle a ton of current.

2023-11-03 00:37:36 +0000 UTCMaybe like a sword design with a thicker cross-guard could help in a redesign? Although it might end up looking less like a sword and more like a lightsaber, which would still be cool especially if you had some fluorescent material on the "blade". But the wizard staff idea above is also pretty ... Brilliant....
