Xellers shows us how to build a DIY Spark Gap Tesla Coil in this Instructable. When you are done looking at the Tesla Coil have a look at the DIY CRT he built! “Shoot foot-long bolts of lighting through the air, light fluorescent tubes without wires, and power your other high voltage experiments with the aid of this tabletop-sized Tesla coil! The key to this coil’s performance on such a

There have been quite a few DIY Winders build before but this one automates quite a lot of the steps. “Here is a feature list: -Pickup Winding with turn counting, RPM, ETA and auto stop -Stroboscopic guitar tuner -Ohm meter for coil resistance measurement -Gaussmeter for measuring polarity and magnetic flux density of pole pieces
Koen has just completed his 8X8X8 LED Cube which is powered by an Arduino. This is a really impressive looking build! “I finished my latest project. I wanted to build a led cube. It had to be big (8x8x8) and easy to build! I found a way to do it! 32 meter of stainless steel, 128 meter of wire ,8 meters of heat shrink, 8 max7219 chips later. It all
