Re: [TCML] Coil pics & many thanks



Hi Andrew,

Very nice construction photos! I loved the router circle cutting jig! The rotary sounds great! Very synchronous and I hear no drifting. The coil looks great and it appears to be well tuned. Un-tuned coils don't work this well. How much power are you running on this coil? Overall, I would say the coil is doing well. Hope you can find a permanent location for the coil to run. Coils don't like being "put away to run another day".

Regards,
Bart

I finally got an album together of my first 6" coil if anyone's interested.  It's a lot of construction pics (including variac brush repair) & a couple of videos of the finished coil.  I put the album together mostly for people who don't know a thing about coils so some of the captions probably explain a lot of stuff you already know.  I tried to document all the construction steps but I can't seem to hang on to my camera :(
http://picasaweb.google.com/andrew.nettles/My6InchTeslaCoil?authkey=q3ac0VTAgSY Thanks to many people who gave me advice through the list, have excellent websites, & answer emails. I don't want to neglect to mention anyone but especially Gary Lau, Ritchie Burnett, Terry Fritz (among many things I blatantly ripped off his cap design), John Freau, Bart (JavaTC Rulez), Alan Majernick for the Oriental reaction motor & super cool rotor, and Bill Noble for helping out with the variac. Feedback of any kind would be great. Hopefully I will be able to permanently set it up somewhere soon - right now it's in someone else's shop & it's kinda hard for me to get time to play with it. Sure is fun though. - Andrew_______________________________________________
