A magnificent and extremely rare device capable of producing electrical sparks much larger than the device itself. Since its creation, the QCW Tesla coil has remained something of a mystery...until NOW! Ladies and gentlemen: welcome to YouTube's first proper QCW tutorial! In this video, you will not only discover how a traditional QCW coils operates, but also learn how to properly build and construct your very own staccato-based QCW Tesla coil. This particular design is easier, cheaper, and quieter than most Tesla coil designs, and it's safe enough for indoor use. To top it all off, when this thing is built right, it can produce sparks over FOUR TIMES the length of the coil itself! So what are you waiting for? Let's build! Full instructions, parts list, schematic, and PCB Gerber files (PCB size is 157mm by 114mm): https://drive.google.com/file/d/11MJa... And, for those interested, these are the 3D files I made for my coil's enclosure, toroid, and more (I'm not a 3D wizard, so don't judge me, lol): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UYB3...
