My Oscillator Drive Vacuum-Tube Tesla Coil
This will be my third coil, if I ever get it
working !
As before with the Vacuum Tube Tesla coil, this project uses a very large
radio transmitter valve in place of the spark gap in the standard coil. This
time I am trying to drive it with a variable frequency oscillator, which can
be "tuned" to the resonant frequency of the coils. It only uses
two coils, the primary and secondary coil.
It is a far more complicated design and may never work, but you don't know
if you don't try!
