Coiling has been my favorite hobby since middle school, and is greatly responsible for motivating me to learn more about electronics and study electrical engineering. Here is my work organized chronologically, starting with my most recent projects:
12. QCW Work (In Progress)
The synchronous buck converter partially assembled.
This is my current active project, in addition to final touches to oneTesla. I’m working on a phase-ramped QCW DRSSTC that I got funding for through Techfair. I’ve decided, however, to start by using the materials I already have to build an “old fashioned” synchronous buck converter/class D amplifier bus modulator to experiment around with. Adding a DRSSTC on top of that shouldn’t be difficult, because piles and piles of sent-out oneTesla boards exist.

10″ to 12″ Streamers.
Built my sophomore year of high school, this spark gap coil was motivated by a deal I found on eBay for a 9kV, 30mA NST ($35, shipped, is pretty good these days!). I had previously never been able to get my hands on one, and although I was more interested in pursuing solid state coiling, I decided that I just had to make this. It’s the classic first coiling project that I had missed out on!
4. Audio-Modulated ISSTC
10″ SSTC Streamers.
