The Energy that flows through a Tesla coil and the Ground 2

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:01][music] >> Hi guys.

[00:00:07]I made this video because some of my subscribers informed me already that they want to know more informations about the energy that flows through a Tesla coil and the ground.

[00:00:20]So, I'm using the same Tesla coil as before, which is a catcher's layer coil, anyway, whatever.

[00:00:28]It resonates itself 1 MHz.

[00:00:31]So, I'm starting now.

[00:00:33]First of all, I connect the current supply.

[00:00:37]The coil's ready.

[00:00:41]You see the high voltage.

[00:00:48]And this is the ground.

[00:00:51]This thing.

[00:00:54]Look the inductor, this ring uh 350 micro Henry with a LED shows that the current flows through the ground this time.

[00:01:10]15 V I'm using at uh 1 A about, and the frequency is uh 1 MHz over there.

[00:01:25]So, this is the first setup.

[00:01:29]This is the Tesla coil.

[00:01:30]I have already connected the bulb, a filament bulb, between the vent of the secondary coil, L2, and the ground.

[00:01:50]This is uh how much energy consumes. 15 V at 0.65 A. And the the half of the power uses this time with the lamp.

[00:02:02]And the frequency remains the same.

[00:02:07]It's 1 MHz.

[00:02:10]Okay, this is This is the second setup.

[00:02:13]Instead of the bulb, I connected a coil here.

[00:02:16]I made it myself with uh uh 140 turns about.

[00:02:23]Taps every 10 turns.

[00:02:28]Right here is connected in that the end of the secondary coil of the Tesla coil.

[00:02:35]And the ground.

[00:02:38]And I'm going to use the bulb again.

[00:02:42]Now, it's already on.

[00:02:47]High voltage, as usual.

[00:02:53]And about the light bulb, yes.

[00:02:58]Let me see.

[00:03:15]This is the bulb at the very end of the coil.

[00:03:21]The LED doesn't uh light up anymore.

[00:03:26]Now, removing the tap, I can vary the power I'm using for the lamp.

[00:03:34]So, it consumes less, yeah.

[00:03:37]It has a function of the variable transformer or variac.

[00:03:44]You see, this is uh very I'm sorry, but I cannot show you very well.

[00:03:57]It's just a little bit.

[00:04:00]It at the very end it's more.

[00:04:09]Now, of course there is a high power at the output as a high voltage.

[00:04:18]This is the power that consumes the same as before, half an amp here of 15 V, and the frequency remains the same, 1 MHz.

[00:04:34]All right, in this setup, instead of the bulb and the coil, I connected four diodes, fast diodes UF 5408, and the capacitor, 6 micro microfarad at the 450 V.

[00:04:52]I want to rectify this current, this energy that flows through the coil.

[00:05:01]Now, this is the end of the L2, the bridge, these coils, and the capacitor.

[00:05:11]This is the capacitor.

[00:05:13]The ground.

[00:05:16]And I'm using the multimeter to see what kind of uh voltage can I draw from it.

[00:05:24]Starting again.

[00:05:29]Well, as you see, we have 200 and No, no, sorry, 100 V now.

[00:05:35]This is the power I'm drawing now, the same as before, not a big not a real thing.

[00:05:43]The frequency is the same, 1 MHz.

[00:05:53]Of course, at the same time, there is this high voltage at the end.

[00:06:02]Yeah.

[00:06:07]And I'm trying now with this screwdriver to break down the circuit right here.

[00:06:12]See what is going to be happen.

[00:06:17]Oops.

[00:06:19]You see it?

[00:06:20]The capacitor charge up very, very rapidly.

[00:06:26]Let me show you.

[00:06:29]This is what I'm doing here.

[00:06:31]Discharging the capacitor.

[00:06:35]And in 1 second about, the capacitor is full again.

[00:06:45]The power supply, the frequency.

[00:06:49]I'll do it again.

[00:06:54]The frequency remains the same.

[00:07:00]And the power.

[00:07:06]And something I found very interesting.

[00:07:10]Look the LED.

[00:07:13]The time I'm discharging.

[00:07:17]You see it?

[00:07:23]Discharge.

[00:07:32]Lights up.

[00:07:39]And something else I would like to share with you. By it's discharging, right now the capacitor is discharged.

[00:07:46]The Tesla coil is a switched off.

[00:07:55]But look what is happening the capacitor.

[00:07:58]It It is still charging up.

[00:08:01]Without power.

[00:08:03]Without power and I don't know, okay, I'm discharging again.

[00:08:07]Zero.

[00:08:11]And look Look what is happening.

[00:08:13]This is not not normal.

[00:08:15]Not at all.

[00:08:18]Okay, it It's about millivolt, but oh, it's already 1 volt, a half a volt.

[00:08:27]Discharging again.

[00:08:32]And charge.

[00:08:33]Charging up. No power at the coil.

[00:08:35]Nothing.

[00:08:45]Okay.

[00:08:48]That's it for the now.
