Coil & Generator
    #22096035 - 08/15/15 06:51 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

I've been wanting to build a Tesla Coil with its secondary column diameter, and its top cap large enough to have a belt and equipment for a Van de Graaff generator to be built under, and run inside, the Tesla coil.

Has anyone here thought about doing something like this? I can't find any references to a hybrid design like this on Google.

I've never built a Tesla coil, but I've run a few, and I'm pretty sure that what you describe is impossible.  The belt inside the secondary coil would interfere with its inductance, and it would not be able to cycle properly, no matter how brilliant your engineering.  Without being able to resonate, the Tesla coil cannot act as an oscillating transformer and it would do nothing.

That's just my take.

Ooh, I didn't think about that.

Do you think the inductance would change if the VDG isn't running?

Before I search, would you have an idea on if it's possible to shield one from the other? I'd guess having the VDG as a completely separate devise and just having a HV wire running inside, up to the top cap might work.

Well I don't think you can put anything in that space, i.e. inside the secondary coil.  Anything that would disrupt the magnetic field, even minutely, would throw the whole thing off.

I would just leave them separate.

What would be the point of the Van De Graff  in this application?

It would be to see what happens. For science. :wink:

Why not try it and see?
