Why is a toroid most often used as the top load on a Tesla coil?
For the Tesla coil that I've built, I'm using a hollow metal sphere as the top (capacitive) load for the secondary circuit. But more often you'll see a hollow metal toroid used.
I'm getting streamer …

How does this Miniature Solid State Tesla Coil work?
Your primary circuit serves as a high frequency oscillator to provide the excitation of the coil.
But to get optimal response from your Tesla coil, or perhaps any response at all you need to match t …
