Thyratron Switched Tesla coil (THYTC)
Using a hydrogen Thyratron tube to switch a Tesla Coil. The Thyratron tube replaces the noisy spark gap.
Relaxation oscillator using a Hydrogen Thyratron
Some details on the relaxation oscillators and my implementation using a hydrogen thyratron.
How to build a Tesla Coil #4
A small spark gap tesla coil, a good example for an relaxation oscillator.
Vacuum tube tesla coil (VTTC) using Russian GI-30
A vacuum tube tesla coil built around the Russian tetrode GI-30. My first VTTC and my first vacuum tube circuit, and some very rewarding results.
High Frequency Solid State Tesla Coil (HF SSTC)
My first SSTC as a high frequency solid state tesla coil.
High Voltage Power supplies
An article on various high voltage sources. Includes schematics, construction details, high resolution images and videos.
How to build a Tesla Coil #1
Here’s how I’ve built my first Tesla Coil for a few tens of thousands of volts.
