30 watt Tesla Coil Producing Phantom Streams


Here is the setup.  Behary 30W Tesla Coil Tuner with 9" 150T Pancake Coil




Phantom Streams can be felt distinctly at a distance of 12" from this coil, and just barely perceived at a distance of 16".
They can be seen clearly or distinctly with the naked eye at a distance of around 8"-10".

The Oscilloscope Tube shows some strange behaviour at 12" from the sphere!

These are the actual sparks produced from the metal ball - only 3" long.

The Phantoms can be seen faintly here extending outward.

Up close these Phantom Streams get interesting.  They produce a thick (roughly 3/16" thick) rod-like discharge to a piece
of metal held in the hand.

Distinct bright spots on the rod can be seen in this photo where the phantoms strike.  With the naked eye they have a very
distinct shape, the photo shows rather a blur of many moving streams.  But the target spots remain very clear in this photo.

Here are several spots can be seen.

A faint spark appears here.

Note how the discharges tend to form in clusters

If only everyone could be here to see these in person.  I am surprised how efficient this crude and simple setup is for their
production.  The effect in person is quite dramatic!
