Made this Solid State Tesla coil A week ago. Works Fine.
Works fine on 12V supply. Now need to make it more efficient. Like it should glow from a distance like that.
Also What are the other things we can turn on using this.
Thank you

Any chance you could post a basic schematic, I've messed around with some basic HV stuff before but not Tesla coils. You can tune them to make them more efficient I believe, and a smoother more round top load would reduce coronal discharge and the like.

A single bipolar transistor oscillator may be reliable to start, but not efficient. I suggest a ZVS design with mosfets.

oKAY got the idea.
I will try this.
Also will adjustments in the shape of primary will help?
