Hand-held tesla coil

[Modderxtrordanare]

Hand-held, battery powered tesla gun.

I want to build one of these, it looks pretty nifty.

[thespeedycicada]

id start with a small tesla coil like me (7 inches tall) besides this is probaly solid state as most small teslas are but yeah it would be nifty.

What would you use it for, I'm not quite sure of the purpose?

[thespeedycicada]

well that could put streamers of at least 2 inches so ignition, scaring people,mounting it on youre car, and a cool cattle prod would all be "aceptable" uses

it looks cool and not much lelse.

[potatoflinger]

Oh, now I understand. What would happen if you touched it?

Oh, now I understand. What would happen if you touched it?

a small shock the worst that could happen with a tesla is rf burns ive never built powerful enough to do that though.

Looks pretty awesome. Is it worth sacrificing a drill for it though?

harbor freight has drills for 20$

I heard large scale telsa coils can be used to create artificial lightning. I wonder if it would work in spudguns?

[Hotwired]

Ah yes, the old "why use a piezo ignitor when I can use a tesla coil to fire my cannon instead!" idea

I'd shoot myself in the foot before doing something so incredibly inefficient

The counter argument pushed out is that it would look cool or something.

Would be cool to combine that, and the whole plasma creation
