This is my first ever Tesla Coil, it a 'traditional setup' coil with a brass & tugsten static spark gap, fed by an Oil Burner Transformer - OBIT, - It was a great little coil, rocket proof and took a real beating. I eventually sold the Primary and Secondary to fund my Fusor project but am in the process of rebuilding this coil so watch this space!
Video showing the construction of a typical spark-gap type Tesla Coil. There was a lot of information and I couldn't cover everything in this video. So there will be more in a part 2. But this gives some basic info for building a Tesla Coil.
My OBIT went south. I decided to upgrade to MOT power! This video details the DC power supply and the results.

I have upgraded my Tesla coil with an air cooled multigap spark gap and a flat primary coil. Sparks are now over 2 feet long!
