Mini SGTC || How to Build a Small Spark Gap Tesla Coil

DIY Simple Spark Gap Tesla Coil.
ℹ️ The Tesla coil was invented by Nikola Tesla around 1891. It is a high-frequency air-core transformer that produces high-voltage alternating current.
⚠️⚡ Building and operating a SGTC (Spark Gap Tesla Coil) involves handling extremely high voltages, dangerous currents, and ultraviolet radiation. Unlike conventional electronic circuits, an SGTC does not forgive handling errors.
The discharges can cause deep RF burns that destroy internal tissues without immediate pain. The spark gap generates an intense white light rich in UV-C radiation. Looking directly at it without protection can cause retinal burns. Ionization of the air produces ozone (O3). In enclosed environments, these gases are highly irritating to the lungs and can cause respiratory damage.
An SGTC is an extremely powerful radio transmitter. It can instantly destroy nearby cell phones, computers, routers, and TVs.
🚫 It is strictly forbidden to operate or be near a Tesla Coil if you or someone close to you has a pacemaker or any electronic medical implant.
⚠️ Operate the coil only in well-ventilated areas to dissipate ozone.
⚠️The capacitor may remain charged even after being switched off.
❓ *Interesting fact:* Tesla believed he could inject energy into the ground and the ionosphere, and anyone in the world could stick a metal rod and an antenna in the ground and “pull” electricity to power lights or motors, without needing wires or energy meters.
