Modifications for Classroom

Postby johnmcchesney » Mon Aug 18, 2014 4:27 pm

I bought the OneTesla kit to use in the classroom at Rock-it Science and it worked the first time I tested it but it then became apparent that I would have to make some changes.

We have a spark-gap coil and use the primary coil to create inductive heating in metal objects placed in the center... they get red hot in short order! When I saw the heat sink so close to the primary, I decided to put the secondary and primary farther away. I made a video showing the modifications at:
