Re: [TCML] SSTC (and VTTC)

[futuret@xxxxxxx]

Neal,

Yes, a VTTC is easier to build than an SSTC because the components are
larger and less finicky in some ways, and mistakes won't cause the 
components
to burn out as easily.  I have some VTTC's and schematics at my 
websites at:

 http://futuret.110mb.com

and at:

 http://j.futuret.googlepages.com

I just completed a small VTTC project using a 4-125A tube powered by a 
small
MOT.  The project gives 7" sparks.  I just added a couple of new photos
showing the completed project.  It's just a basic VTTC, nothing fancy.

An advantage of VTTC's is that the RF is less destructive to household
appliances, computers, etc.  After the VTTC is completed, you can add 
the
staccato (pulsed) feature if desired.  Building the staccato pulser is 
an easy
way to get involved in solid state projects.  The staccato pulser is a 
solid
state add-on to the basic VTTC project.

There are many other solid state schematics available on the web also.

I think Rob has asked a question here that has been rattling around in 
the back of my mind, too. If I may expand the question a bit, what 
about a VTTC (vacuum tube tesla coil)? Would a vacuum tube coil be 
simpler to start with, and would anyone have
a link to a basic tube 
schematic? For myself, I'd like to have a smaller, quieter coil that I 
could run more often, versus my current 4" sec. static gap coil. Thanks 
for your help, guys. 
 
Neal.
