Jamie Oliver's Tesla Coil Demonstration Page:
(Webster, NY. Near Rochester, NY)
Why Look at and What is Different About This Website?
This site is for you if you would like to see a tesla coil that has the design criteria below and/or you would like to know some things about giving demonstrations to kids/people of all ages that I have picked up over the years.The Design Criteria for this coil was basically two things:
Also on this site is a detailed method to tune a coil with a scope and signal generator.About This Site:All pictures in this site are images of this coil running off 120VAC-15 Amp line. Some of the pictures are of the coil in the "Magnifier" Configuration. See the magnifier section for more info on that. I am currently using it in the conventional coil mode as I don't currently have a sufficient insulator that will allow me to run it without breaking down my insulators. Special Thanks to my tesla coil mentors and helpers Dan Boughton and Ed Wingate.
Below is my friend Baker from Shanghai, China who was visiting and got to play with the coil.
Below is a great shot by Don Race of Webster. This was with his Canon 10D DSLR, handheld, set to asa 3200 using a Canon 28-135mm image stabilization lens. More of his pics in the photo gallery.

Tesla Coils are dangerous and can really hurt or KILL you, even when you think you know what you're doing! Just ask me! Please read this safety information if you plan to experiment with any facet of high voltage. There are no such things as "insulators," only things that conduct less than others.
