  • The Tesla Coil
    The Tesla Coil David R. Long Caleb D. Selby A strangely loud buzz punctuated by piercing cracks, all in time with a curiously bright spark in the base of the machine, and seemingly miniaturized lightning bolts shooting from the top, all caused by one amazing invention originally designed by Nikola Tesla. The device is known as a Tesla Coil, which is a high voltage dual coil resonant transformer. This amazing transformer differs from a standard step-up transformer in a few ways, including its dependence on resonating frequencies, capacitance of its output terminal and several other factors. Though the coil may not have been originally designed to produce these miniature lightning bolts, or coronas, these are easily the most recognizable trait of a Tesla Coil. First the coil needs a high voltage power source, which can be achieved by using a high voltage step up transformer to transform standard electrical outlet 120 VAC current, into a much higher voltage, somewhere in the range of 20,000 volts. One output lead of this step up transformer is wired back to the 3rd prong grounding lead of the plug. The other output lead of the transformer is connected to one lead of a resonance or choke coil, which is about 40 turns of magnet wire wrapped around a piece of 1.5” PVC pipe, this choke coil blocks any high frequency from interfering. The second lead of the resonance coil is then connected to a high voltage tank capacitor. One end of this capacitor is then wired to a simple high voltage switch known as the spark gap.

  • Building an End Fed Antenna
    Building an End Fed Antenna By Eugene Morgan In this article I will cover several topics given that the subject is about building an Antenna System and not just the antenna. There are four specific areas we will dive into, the first is the antenna, the second baluns, the third chokes, and lastly the transmission line. All of these items are necessary in virtually every antenna installation regardless if it’s a simple vertical, dipole or a multi element parasitic array such as a Yagi. This article will focus mainly on the antenna we built at Alan Parks, N7SHA, QTH. But the techniques used are applicable to any antenna installation. However we will focus on the specific of an end fed wire which apply to all end fed wires regardless of length. After doing a survey of Alan’s yard we determined that the easiest antenna and perhaps the most effective antenna we could deploy was an end fed wire. His yard was perfect for such an installation. He has a deep back yard surrounded by many tall trees with his house sitting near the front of the lot. We determined that we could run a wire over 180 feet into one of the tall trees in his back yard. The far end would be close to 50 feet high and the other end would terminate at end of his house and be connected to the electrical mast where the power comes into his house. That end would be about 20 feet in the air. Our first challenge was of course getting the far end of the wire into the tree.

  • How to Build a 4:1 Current Balun Written by Bryce Salmi - KB1LQC
    How To Build a 4:1 Current Balun Written by Bryce Salmi - KB1LQC This article presents a project to construct a 4:1 (four to one) current balun also known as a "Guanella" balun. The balun I made was constructed in the Summer of 2009 and has been neatly hidden in my engineering notebook since. Antennas are a fascinating aspect of radio and baluns are an integral part to most radio amateurs stations. The term balun "... is a contraction of the words balanced to unbalanced. It's primary function is to prevent common- mode currents, while making the transition from an unbalanced transmission line to a balanced load such as an antenna"1 One of my favorite wire antennas is the Off Center Fed Dipole (OCFD) (really a doublet, good topic for another article) for it's solid performance and useful operating characteristics. My balun will be part of an OCFD I plan on having some K2GXT members help construct during the winter along our underground tunnel system as a neat, quick, and fun one meeting side-project. This project can be used for a variety of applications not pertaining to just OCFD's, another popular use is in converting coaxial cable into balanced feed line (200 ohm). Any application where matching 50 ohms to 200 ohms impedance would also benefit from this project. If you have never built a balun before then this might be your invitation to do so. I first built one of these during a local club meeting back in Massachusetts with the Billerica Amateur Radio Society about five years ago.
