Home Inventor Does a Quad 4 Tesla Coil Configuration Experiment

Here is more on the Tesla coil theory from wikipedia:

A Tesla coil is a radio frequencyoscillator driving a double tuned resonant transformer.[14] The Tesla coil operates in a significantly different fashion from a conventional iron-core transformer. In a conventional transformer, the windings are very tightly coupled (i.e., in close physical proximity to one another), and voltage gain is determined by the ratio of the numbers of turns in the windings. Unlike a conventional iron core transformer, which typically couple 97%+ of the magnetic fields between windings, the windings in a Tesla coil are more widely separated and the magnetic core is eliminated. The primary and secondary are “loosely coupled”, typically sharing only 10–20% of their respective magnetic fields.

In addition, the inductance of each winding is part of a tuned LC circuit. The primary winding and primary (“tank”) capacitor form the primary LC circuit. The secondary LC circuit consists of the secondary winding, and the combination of its stray capacitance and self-capacitance of the top terminal to ground. The primary and secondary LC circuits are tuned so that each circuit resonates at an identical high frequency. By loosely coupling the two LC circuits, energy in an oscillating primary LC circuit can be transferred to the secondary LC circuit (or vice versa) at a rate that depends on the coupling coefficient between windings.

It’s pretty cool he passes 200 hz.  We hope you enjoy the video.  And how does this compare to other home experiments you may have come across on the internet?  Feel free to comment with your ideas and check back for more cool videos.
