Ohmic coil - Eindhoven Primary


alt

A new composition of the primary coil for a Double Resonance Solid State TeslaCoil (DRSSTC). It is a combination of wire and capacitors. By making the coil like this you get rid of all the parasitic inductions of the capacitor bank, it reduces wire length and saves a lot of space. Calculating the resonance frequency also becomes much easier.

I hereby dub this coil configuration: The Eindhoven Primary.

Solar Beetle


alt

A fairly old project that I still had to post. A small car on solar power. It contains a circuit which charges a capacitor, when it's full the capacitor gets discharged trough the electric motor.

The left half of the solar panel is connected to the right motor and vice versa. This way he always turns to the light. Vehicles that exhibit this behavior are also known as Braitenberg vehicles.

Transparent Mini DC TeslaCoil


alt

A small TeslaCoil fully made of acrylic plastic. The cool thing about this is that every part is transparent. This coil is driven by the power supply of my large DC Teslacoil. Total height 44cm, max output voltage +- 380.000 Volts (57cm arc length).

MV Speedometer


alt

A speedometer specially designed for coilgun projectiles! To determine the speed of coilgun projectiles while experimenting, I usually counted the frames of my high speed camera while filming the projectile.

Now using 2 optical sensors and a microcontroller I can calculate the velocity and kinetic energy of the projectile and read it directly on the display. A large improvement!
