Tesla Coils - The spectacular and highly visible effect produced by tesla coils has been the subject of controversy for years. The high frequency high voltage energy produced possesses qualities unlike conventional electricity. It defies most insulation material, transmits energy without wires, produces heat, light and noise yet harmlessly passes through human tissue with virtually no feeling or shocking effects. Much research, money and effort was dedicated to actual construction of similar large devices capable of producing 200 foot lightning bolts and lightning 25 miles away. Nikola Tesla was the originator of this research and was often thought of as a charlatan. As more progress was made in the electrical sciences it was soon realized that he was indeed responsible for many advances in development in energy production. He has now been credited with many advances and original techniques in the electrical sciences. His main theory, however, is still very much in question and many dedicated groups are hopeful in obtaining some break that will resurrect it. The tesla coil is the basis for this questionable research and never ceases to amaze all those who come in contact with its highly visual and audible effect.

Caution - Faraday cages are necessary when operating tesla coils near computers or other sensitive electrical equipment.


High Power Vacuum Tube Tesla Coil

These spectacular display devices produce arcs and sparks quite unlike the damped spark gap driven Tesla coils. Operation does not require a noisy spark gap that produces copious amounts of RFI radio frequency interference, but operates efficiently at the quarter wave frequency of the secondary coil.

Vacuum tubes, while large and requiring filament power, do offer robust and forgiving operation and are intended as a good starter approach to solid state Tesla coils. This approach is far less temperamental than the solid state MOSFET or IGBT drivers. However once these devices are debugged and tweaked one can obtain some excellent results. Our lab FET coil generates over 6 foot sparks using only 3 kilowatts. (The fully assembled 1KW tesla coil sold below produces up to 18-24" sparks.) Output frequency tracks within 5% of the resonant point using one our proprietary circuits.

The output of the oscillator is relatively closely coupled to the secondary coil designed for high Q performance and self resonant to the 1/4 wave of the oscillator frequency. The voltage distribution is now that of a quarter section with a current node at these base and voltage node at the top. Input power to the coil is raw unrectified AC at 3000 volts rms with a current of 0.5 amps. Peak voltage is over 4000 volts and is supplied by a conventional plate transformer being fed by a voltage adjustable variac for power output control.

We also have built coils using 304TH, 450TH and parallel 2500TH's with a full 5000 watts of plate dissipation. This coil produced spectacular hot flaming arcs up to 8 feet with 8 kw input.

A pulse signal is also shown that controls the grid of the tube allowing a wide range of spark texture variation by changing the duty cycle and frequency.

For those building this from scratch, the circuit of the vacuum tube device is a high powered Hartley radio frequency oscillator tuned to the resonant frequency of the secondary coil. The circuit uses a medium powered 833A triode transmitting tube that inherently has a high grid to plate capacitance and is readily available. The plate section of the coil is wound with 1/4 inch copper tubing. The grid feed back coil is wound with #16 litz wire. The secondary is wound with #24 litz wire on a properly prepped plastic form.

We can custom build vacuum tube or transistorized Tesla coils up to 5 kw. These can be modulated to sounds, music, etc. and are great for museums or just as a spectacular high tech gadget. Please Email us for inquiries.

Produces 8-12" Visible Lightning-Like Discharges. Both the kit and assembled unit include an 8" toroid and wound coil (so you don't have to do any winding). Excellent Science Project. Fully adjustable.

This is a spark driven Tesla coil generating highly visual and audible sparks into open air without a return contact.

The unit operates from a standard 3-wire 115vac wall outlet requiring less than two amps. The transformer is current limited to 20 ma being well below the lethal value of 50 ma. The tesla coil is easily tabletop operable and is a two-level assembly consisting of a top and bottom section. The top supports the vertical mounted secondary output coil and the flat Archimedean spiraled primary along with tunable clip lead. The bottom supports the transformer, capacitor and spark gap assembly attached by machine screws and nuts. A metal control panel is connected to earth ground along with the secondary return minimizing any dangerous shock hazards.

The spark gap uses two pure tungsten electrodes rarely requiring cleaning or dressing. Hardware is all brass where required, with the primary coil being a hybrid between copper tubing and a heavy insulated wire.

The kit version contains a pre-wound and fully prepped secondary coil and all parts to complete the unit, including an 8 x 2" toroidal terminal which greatly adds to the performance and overall appearance of the completed system.

Hazards: 115vac line powered, requiring caution in assembling and testing. The output of the transformer (not the coil) can give a very painful shock and burn but is not considered lethal as short circuit current is only 20 ma. The output spark from the Tesla coil secondary can be painlessly contacted by firmly holding a metal object and drawing the spark to it. The Tesla coil must not be operated in a flammable atmosphere or near sensitive electronic equipment.

Assembly: Mostly mechanical assembly with some soldering.

Applications: Use as a science project, special effects prop, and for electrical research of high frequency electricity.

Power enough for most R&D experiments. Kit and assembled units include wound coil (so you don't have to do the winding), multi-section spark gap, and 12" toroid terminal. Individual parts also available.

This is a spark driven Tesla coil generating very visual and audible sparks into open air without a return contact.

The unit operates from a standard 3-wire 115vac wall outlet requiring less than six amps. The circuit uses (4) 4 Kv 30 ma current limited transformers providing 8000 volts at 60 ma. This value is above the lethal value of 50 ma and we cannot stress the importance to use caution when testing and adjusting!

This Tesla coil can be operated on a tabletop. It is built as a two-level assembly consisting of a top and bottom section. The top supports the vertical mounted secondary output coil and the flat Archimedean spiraled primary along with a tunable clip lead. The bottom supports the transformers, capacitor and spark gap assembly attached by machine screws and nuts.

A metal control panel is connected to earth ground along with the secondary output coil return, reducing line voltage shock hazards. The spark gap is air cooled with a high output muffin fan and uses three pure tungsten electrodes rarely requiring cleaning or dressing. Hardware is all brass where required with the primary coil being all copper tubing.

The kit contains a pre-wound and fully prepared secondary coil and all parts to complete the unit, including a 12 x 3 inch toroidal terminal which greatly adds to the performance and overall appearance of the completed system.

Hazards: 115vac line powered, requiring caution in assembling and testing. The output of the transformers can give a very painful shock and burn with possible electrocution as the short-circuit current is 60 ma. The output spark from the secondary can be contacted with a moderate shock by firmly holding a metal object and drawing the spark to it (not advisable for the inexperienced). The Tesla coil must not be operated in a flammable atmosphere or near sensitive electronic equipment.

Assembly: Mostly mechanical assembly with some soldering

Applications: Use as a science project, museum display, special effects prop, and for electrical research of high frequency electricity.

Energy Probe

Radiant Energy Probe and E-Field Detector
thermag Probe detects E fields produced by electrical activity and other unknown anomalies. Unit uses no batteries or other sources of power yet detects very weak and virtually un-noticed energy fields. Unit can also provide a three dimensional output "footprint" of medical healing machines such as LAKHOVSKY coils, High voltage generators, Ion machines, Dangerous lightning levels, Power line E field gradients, High frequency radiation from TESLA coils and similar devices. This probe is used by paranormal researchers as seen on some TV shows.

This device is for detecting strong E fields, like those from plasma globes, tesla coils, ion generators, etc. It is not intended for weak E fields, like those generated by many household items. If you need something to detect household or weaker energy fields, we suggest our IOD10.

The apparatus is electrically balanced and designed in the shape of a wand with a 2 inch brass sphere at its detecting end. The handle is 1” OD x 9” of treated polycarbonate with plated metallic tape wrapped around the ends. A red neon indicator lamp (a standard bulb that should last for years, but can easily be replaced if needed)flashes upon detection and increases as you get closer to the source, or if the source gets stronger.

This handy unit is easy to use and can check the validity of output energy of various healing machines and other radiating products. It is a must-have product for those working in these energy fields.

Probe detects:

  • Potential free energy field locations
  • Electric fields produced by ions sources
  • Dangerous static charges
  • Paranormal and UFO energy fields
  • High frequency radiation
  • Weather phenomena lightning
  • High voltage leakage points
  • Plotting a three dimensional footprint of E-fields of HV sources
  • Detects strange and otherwise unidentifiable sources
