Would low voltage Tesla Coils like these work well with the SISG method of
firing the coil, like Mark Dunn has on his web site, versus using a
standard spark gap? Anyway, I am trying to do this or at least something
similar. I bought 6, 1200V 95 A SRC's that I'm going to try to use several
of them in series to fire a single MOT. Any comments or ideas on this?

Hi Shawn,
I don't know that I've ever heard of a Tesla coil operating with a voltage
as low as 2kV. I'm not saying it can't be done, but you'd be plumbing new
depths there. Definitely use a single static gap, with direct airflow
thru the gap. Using the 5/60 unit is certainly the better option.
For small coils, you really want high inductance secondaries (and
primaries). I'd choose the 28 AWG wire, or finer.

Hello Group,
I have two smaller transformers and I would like to make a table top
(portable) coil
out of one of them. I have a 2kv, 60ma open transformer that was made
for spark
gap operation, I also have a 5kv, 60ma NST - the old fashion style.
Have other people build tesla coils at these low voltages, are there any
special
requirement? for magnet wire I have a large roll of 26 gauge and a
smaller roll of
28 gauge wire, some pvc pipe (the white stuff), capacitors.....etc.
any input would be apreatiated!
thanks,
Shaun
