Hey, the project is working fine, everything is nice..
I told my physics teacher about it and she wanted to see it, then brought me into a few conventions with it, didn't want to go but it went swell and I won several awards :beer:
Seems like no one has presented this kind of thing.
Now...
Well its for a school project and I wouldn't want to take an NST to there :P
I got the ZVS driver hooked it up, works real good.
Right now I just need to remake my capacitors and all should be good :)
I'm not thinking you are denigrating my work, I'm just taking this as some tips I need to follow, now I'm going to go and try to tune things properly and expect something better than what I have now. Thanks for the response :)
Hello, geekies, I built a tesla coil not long ago with a flyback and some saltwater capacitors.
So lets get to the point, I have saltwater capacitors which I want to change to normal capacitors that I need help determining which ones I need and what would their capacity be.
I got a crummy home...
I'm sorry, I meant ZVS :yabbem: too much stuff going trough my head today.
Was thinking of getting this:
Banggood-zvs driver
Why banggood? because ebay is unavailable in my country and as far as I'm aware no electronic shops around me supply zvs drivers.
As you can see I used some saltwater capacitors, going to go buy proper ones.
And maybe an SVD driver for the flyback.
So I made the sgtc and I'm seeking more advice and stuff.
I'm aware of the transistor heating up, I'm not running it more than 30secs or so, I don't need it on for so long, it was an experimentation circuit, I actually ordered an already made ZVS driver which would be better
this was the chematic:

I'm new to electronics to be honest, still don't really know the differences between diodes etc. and what it even does in the schematic, altough I know that the diode needs to be reversed. I could then replace it...
I used 1n4007 and it worked, asked on other electronic forums plenty users told me it should work because it has somewhat same specifications etc. for my application
but here have a video of my thingy working
