Re: [TCML] Advice

Timothy and Peter,
If you will contact me off list, I will be more than glad to help you with a 12 volt powered ignition coil powered Tesla Coil that should be perfect for the science fair. I have the plans and have built two of them. They only produce 3 to 5 inch arcs but that should be fine, since safety seems to be the primary concern.
best regards,
Paul

  Hello,

   

  I built a TC when I was in my teens starting with a neon sign transformer and loved to show it to friends.

  Earlier this fall, my 13 year old son was struggling to come up with a science project and I suggested building a TC similar to the one I built many years ago. He loved the idea and completed the proposal. His science teacher insisted that it was too dangerous and so we found a website for science fairs offering plans for a 12 volt battery power ignition coil- automotive points model. I paid for the plans but never received them.

   

  I am not an electrician nor an engineer. I have searched everywhere to find plans for a low voltage TC or kit but have not been successful. Can you offer any suggestions or at least point me in the right direction.
