Image Descriptions: 34kvdcpsu My 34kv DC Converter Power cap charging power supply. Currently awaiting a control circuit. 4motpsu My 4 MOT power supply for my Tesla coil. The MO caps in the image are for ballasting and PFC. 500ft10awg My partially used 500 foot spool of 10AWG stranded THHN from Home Depot. big_igbt My big IGBT. Help me find a datasheet for this thing. chicken_stick My "chicken stick." For people who are too chicken to touch a charged high voltage cap :-) chicken_stick2 Detail of the business end of the chicken stick. coffee_table The "coffee table" in my room. The black box the radio is sitting on is the 5-disc CD player. The random thing on the CD player is a perpetual calendar, and the small random thing is a white Luxeon LED. desk My desk. Fairly normal, look around for some odd things. evil_box The "evil box." Contains syringes for model airplane glue, but can also be used for other purposes :-) The brown rod is a 100 watt 250 ohm resistor, and the white things are small pieces of 1/2 inch PVC pipe. fluke_dmm My Fluke DMM. An old but good model. glue_syringe A very nice small syringe for applying model airplane glue. ionizer My unfinished air ionizer emitter. lego_centrifuge A 2-axis centrifuge made from Legos. Note the hand crank generator for powering the centrifuge in the lower right corner. lego_centrifuge2 Same centrifuge, different angle, to show that both frames turn on axes perpendicular to each other. lifter My lifter that probably won't work. linksys_router A dead Linksys wireless router that came from the local dump. logo The Official Lu Laboratories Logo. magnetrons 2 magnetrons that are in my stash right now. I had more, but I junked them for their magnets and chokes. motor_run_cap A motor run capacitor, 10uF at 370VAC or so. photoflash_bank A bank of 16 160uF 330v photoflash caps. Be jealous, AllaHoga, be jealous :-) powercord My homemade 10/3 240V power cord. 3 conductors of 10AWG green THHN and a 240V 30A plug, wrapped in electrical tape. Took me only an hour to make. To buy something like this at Home Depot costs twice as much as if I made it at home. small_mot A small Zebra MOT. Despite its small size, it has a HUGE core. Note that the primary is shorted with a thin wire. Beware of inductive kick--I was testing the secondary for continuity and when I removed the voltmeter leads it gave me quite a sting. tc_base The bottom of my tesla coil. tc_breakout The world's fanciest breakout point. tc_breakout2 Same thing, different angle tc_capbank My 40kV 38nF ceramic doorknob bank, made from TDK UHV series 40kV 2nF doorknobs. tc_controlbox My simplistic control box front panel. From left to right: start switch, kill switch, power indicator lights (one for each leg of the 240v input). tc_ground The ground connection at the bottom of the secondary. tc_nameplate Not really a nameplate; states that this is the first revision of Cymry the tesla coil. tc_sec My TC secondary, looking up from the bottom to the toroid. tc_sparkgap The single static air blast gap. Will be equipped with a leaf blower for quenching. tc_system The whole Tesla coil system. tc_topload My 16 by 4 Al flex duct toroid. tc_topload2 My topload showing the attachment connection. tc_topload3 Attachment detail. It consists of a mailing tube cap and a spring steel clip. tc_topload4 What the topload sits on. A 2 inch PVC pipe segment wrapped with Al tape fits into another mailing tube cap with a connection to the secondary. tc_warning The handwritten "danger high voltage" label on the primary deck. tc_warning2 A "danger high voltage" thing taken out of a microwave oven, sitting on the primary deck. tc_warning3 A label on the terminal strip that connects to the control box. tc_warning4 A self-reminder to short the cap when not using the Tesla coil. teslacoil A blurry pic of the entire TC system. thyratron A thyratron on a mounting plate with some MOVs and 2 filament transformers. thyratron2 An unattached thyratron. thyratron3 The label on the unattached thyratron tube. I need help finding a datasheet for this thing. work_area My TC work area. I hate the red carpet in this pic, it stings the eyes.
