Hello
this is my project rotary spark gap tesla coil
-220v 25A, 5Kva.
-estimated discharge: 7 foot
the challenge is to achieve a robust tesla coil with little money, (recovery, "barter")
In France, it's difficult to have the big equipment because of the price (especially capacitors), although EUROFARAD is a French company.
with pleasure, I will keep you informed of the construction with new pics

Re: MOT Tesla coil
Hello, my post takes dust, my job keeps me from continuing, so here is the sequel.
The control cabinet with the safety elements.
The secondary coil
The capacitors
toroid
The eclator is under construction it will be a copy of terry ARSG
The power supply is a 9kva VERILEC
The control box can support up to 10kw of continuous power
