Later, Johnny realized that all the presets had dumped in his Casio, the microwave oven no longer worked and suddenly, he hated Thomas Edison. It was quite a day.
ReplyDeleteI dont think the sound is being created by the arc...too bad :(
ReplyDeleteThis guy is gating his tesla, but something else is making the sound.
ReplyDeleteI have built solid state Tesla coil, and have been working to turn it into a synth for some time. I keep blowing out IGBT's like they were going out of style.
I've given up for a bit while I test out some new designs. Here it is in my living room:

ReplyDeleteI must be a doubting thomas. My Tesla doesn't sound anywhere as loud as this guys, yet it's similar in size/power.
ReplyDeleteMust be in the 'mastering'.
I've only gotten 4 distinct tones from mine. 20Hz, 40Hz, 60Hz.
Need to read up more on what these folks are doing.
Sounds like primary coil harmonics.
ReplyDeleteTry a bigger cap on the HV side? :)
My design is not as advanced as the DRSSTC II's. I clock mine off of 60 Hz. It's solid state, but it's not digital. I was going to build a separate driver for each frequency. Sort of over the top 'novachord'ish in overkill, but hey.
ReplyDeleteBy enabling/disabling the gate drive ICs in an SSTC you can PWM the output. Normally the output is a continuous wave, which makes a high current plasma flame. Once you start PWM'ing it, you get sounds and longer streamers. Use MIDI to control the interruptor (pulse width modulator) and you have a synth.
ReplyDeleteThere's no mastering in that video - that's just the way it sounds.
