This is a little experiment to see if my VTTC will run using an inverter microwave oven supply rather than the heavy iron core transformer. As Tesla Coils create electrically noisy environments, I didn’t expect the inverter to function well. Initial tests are promising and I need to do more comparisons.
Thanks to ‘Tested to Destruction’ for supplying the inverter.
Note: Don’t try anything with these transformers without being fully aware of the risks. Their configuration is unusual(+ve ground), it is easy to make mistakes and end up with a very dangerous circuit.
