If I go further apart, the sparks will no longer occur. Am I doing it wrong? That is what I read from the instructions.
Bert,Here is a linkyoutube.com/watch?v=MpBaoZ_FVogDavid,Thank you for your extra assistance. Shouldn't the florescent tube light up regardless of the size of the topload? It does not look like an EMF is being created.Thank you for the capacitor tip, but I am working on a budget.

Then maybe download a program like {TESLAMAP} so you can check everything out. Doug-----Original Message----- From: Harrison Benson

We are following instructions from the instructables website. We have everything hooked up and wired, and yet it is not working. I would appreciate any help or tips that you can give me. I have a link to a youtube video of what I have so far here: Tesla Coil Not Working. My hypothesis is that the capacitors may be doing something wrong, but I am not sure. Thank you for your help. _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla _______________________________________________ Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxxhttp://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
