Teslin transformator (na net-u ga zovu 'Tesal coil')je u osnovi (iako doduše specifičan) električno kontrolisani varničar. Svidja mi se projekat 'Tesla Coils. A tesla coil usually has these key components: *power source *Switching circuit *Resonant Capacitor (only for drsstcs, some vttc,s and regular spark gap type coils) *Primary coil *Secondary coil The tesla coil was invented around 1891 by Nikola Tesla. His original intention for the device was to create a wireless energy distribution system.

Solid State Tesla Coil 1 Loneoceans Labs' first Musical Tesla Coil 'Project Esmeralda' 8' x 3' Secondary - 60n60 halfbridge at 400VDC - Fiber Optic Analog Music Controller - 19' Sparks Index After a long hiatus building Tesla Coils, I'm back again to work on something new! I built a few tesla coils from 2003 to 2005, including perhaps Singapore's most powerful homebuilt. At this time, the hobbyist Tesla Coil community was ushering a new era of Tesla Coils powered by power semiconductors (instead of spark gaps). These electronic, or Solid State Tesla Coils (SSTC) were probably the first major innovation since the original spark gap Tesla Coil invented by Nikola Tesla. Only a handful of pioneers had the electrical know-how and skill to tread into unfamiliar territory. It was then when I decided to build one for myself.

I came up with a design and procured components to being my first SSTC back in 2005. Yet facing heavy school commitments and a lack of time, the project was put on hold. Today (2011), SSTCs have seen major innovations evolving into several variants including the popular Double Resonant Solid State Tesla Coil (DRSSTC). This page serves to document the design and construction of Loneoceans Lab's first Solid State Tesla Coil. I understand that the transition from Spark Gap Tesla Coils (SGTCs) to SSTCs is a fairly large jump especially for those who do not have background in electrical engineering. I hope this page (along with other pages in the future) will be able to serve as a good introductory page to the workings of an SSTC, and to show the process as to how I built my coil. At time of writing, I do not know of any other SSTC in Singapore, and may be the first of it's kind in my little sunny country!

Thank you for visiting my page and if you have any questions, wish to share your projects, or feel that my projects have inspired you in one way or another, feel free to email me at loneoceans[at]gmail(dot)com. * Update* March 2012 - SSTC 1 is now complete and now plays music! While the initial goal of this project was to learn about the basic workings of a SSTC before embarking on a DRSSTC, SSTC 1 performed spectacularly and can be modulated via fiber-optic in a variety of ways, from producing sword-like spiral sparks to playing music via an analog stereo input!

Early Sept 2011 Introduction This story begins in 2005. After having built several successful Spark Gap Tesla Coils, I had planned to embark on some Solid State coil work. In fact, I had already purchased all the necessary components for a simple half-bridge SSTC.

I had bought a nice heat-sink, a pile of TO-247 IRFP460 500V 20A MOSFETs as well as the required logic circuitry components, and even had a nice toroid made of a styrofoam-doughnut. Unfortunately, lack of time, school commitments and other various reasons lead to the project being shelved. I'm still in school and daily work isn't getting any easier, but I now have access to a reasonably well-stocked workshop, and have since saved up a little bit of money. Forma 5 gr blank form.

I decided it was time to get re-started on the project. So at the beginning of this year's academic semester in September 2011, I decided to build my first SSTC.

This page serves to document the initial design goals, project construction, and ultimately characterization and documentation. Project Goals (Early Sept 2011) This will be a small coil. Small means more portable, more manageable, and possibly cheaper.

However, small does not mean weak. After reading up on SSTCs people have built over the internet, I came up with a few manageable and challenging but not overly optimistic goals for the project. I will refer to these guidelines throughout the project.
