I wanted to use the Bi-Polar Tesla Coil to drive a lifter. The challenges are very high.
The AC voltage need to be rectified to DC. I had to use high voltage resistors and diodes. The primary of the Bi-Polar Tesla coil had to be potted with 27KV resin per mm resistance in order to avoid sparks to the secondary. That allows me now to drive 80 KV DC to my flyer. The top wire is enamel copper on purpose not stripped. The stripped one I used before did create large flashes once in a while. There is no visible or audible corona. I did not notice any ION wind.
