Like many others I am helping my son with the spark gap induction project. my problem is with the circumference of the pvc insulater. Changing the bolt size to one that will fit into 1/2" pvc still requires 500ft. of secondary wire using only four turns on the primary. how much is the amount of turns on the primary going to affect the magnetic field being generated?

Create your own spark
We have got 3400 turns of 26 gauge insulated copper magnetic wire wrapped around a 3/4'' PVC pipe (6" long). with wax paper inbetween each layer as the secondary coil. We have tried 3 1/2 up to 12 turns on the primary coil using 26 gauge insulated wire. We have the latest relay switch which we read to use, we have the capasitors and resitor in place where the directions say for them to be. The relay is vibrating and chattering, BUT we can not get…

Create Your Own Spark Questions
Hey, I am using this project for the fair and I have a few questions.
What can I use instead of an iron carriage bolt as I can't find one online or anywhere?
What part can I replace the high-current switch relay with, as the site says it will not work?
Please help if anyone can. Thanks.
Re: Create Your Own Spark Questions
Please help, this is due soon and I don't even have all the parts yet because the list on the site is…

create your own spark experiment
create your own spark experiment
I am working on " create your own spark experiment ", and am having a little trouble understanding how to setup the Neef vibrator-relay. I took an ice cube style relay apart and don't quite understand how to attach it to the core. Also I am wondering if the carriage bolt they say to use, 5/8, is correct and the 12 gauge bare wire, I don't believe it should be bare also? Has anybody out there got this thing to work and would…
