Hey everyone, I'm new to this so I was wondering if I could get as
much help as possible.
First of all, I'm a senior Electrical Engineering student at
Youngstown State University in Youngstown, OH. We have a small group
of people that are trying to start a school funded group interested
in high-voltage design and testing, and recreating some of Tesla's
experiments. I've always been interested in Tesla Coils, but could
never find many people local to me that had any knowledge of building them.
I just bought some transformers and I was wondering if they would be
good ones to start with. I'm not looking for two foot arcs or
anything super impressive like that, just to keep in mind. The
transformers I just bought are 120Vac input, with 1650 Vac output at
10mA. I have 6 of them, so wiring for additional current if needed
is not a problem.
If anyone could give me an idea of what to really look for, I would
appreciate it.
Thanks!
