Class E Tesla

This is a little video showing a funny effect on the output terminal of a class E tesla coil. The coil runs at about 1MHz and is being modulated at audio frequencies by a small microprocessor. The high voltage and the modulation are making the tiny output wire swing about in a small circle. It's just so funny to watch that I decided to video it.

 

The coil I bought from this guy in Germany.

It's an inexpensive coil as these things go and very well made. I bought it as a kit and it took about four hours to solder and assemble and worked right away. It looks like it might be interesting to drive small plasma globes since it can light up over six inches in a tube.

 

Cheers.
