Hi
   Does any body have plans for a bipolar tesla coil, I would like to build one.
I would prefer a table top size.


do you mean a single secondary with a "top load" at either end? or two secondaries driven out of phase so the sparks go from one top load to the other?

A lot of the former are mounted horizontally.. search for "horizontal secondary" on the list might turn up some good examples.

Brian Basura built a nice version of the latter a few years ago, and there's detailed design information:

I don't know that you need to be quite as obsessive about "mirror images" as Brian was, but there's no denying his works nicely.
