“Driverless” Tesla Coil
We have refined our driverless Tesla call which uses ZVS or zero voltage switching to run a Tesla coil primary at resonance. ZVS circuits are typically used with induction heaters and to run flyback transformers. In this video we test a PCB which we designed. When I say We, I mean Arc Angel Tesla coil and myself. The PCB was designed using the free online design tool provided by easyEDA. The Gerber files created were uploaded to JLCPCB directly from the easyEDA webpage to create the printed circuit boards for this project. The boards were designed to have a ground plan and thick traces to handle more current. This video is to test the board and show that it can be used to very easily construct working high power solid-state Tesla coils. The Tesla plasma output was pretty impressive and I hope you agree. Please watch the video and don’t forget to like and subscribe if you enjoy this video. We are going to construct more boards and will have some giveaways.

I will put together another video shortly showing how to tune these. ArcAngel Tesla also has an excellent video on how to tune these up so check out his channel too!
PLEASE READ:
we are working on a kit. Will keep you posted. We can presently offer the board and all components except the primary coil and secondary. This set up doesn’t need a top load. Our plan is to creat a 3D printed former to use with quarter inch soft copper tubing. Any secondary will work. I’m using a 3.5 inch diameter PVC pipe wound to 6 inches with 34 awg magnet wire. This resonates at 275 kHz with a 100 nF capacitor. The primary is 5 turns 1/4 inch copper tube 5.5 inch OD tapped at turn 3.25. This seems to work well
