Mini Battery Powered Tesla Coil

This coil was inspired by a build by Jay over at the Plasma Channel on YouTube https://youtu.be/4GRyxuRIPPo

I began this adventure while attempting to rebuild a tabletop spark gap Tesla coil I previously used in demonstrations at some Maker Faire's. That coil was a basic spark gap coil using a 12 volt power supply, a television fly-back coil driven by a ZVS circuit and hand rolled high voltage capacitors.

My goal was to make a small and safe (table top) spark gap Tesla Coil with an integral and rechargeable power supply to use for demonstrations at a local science museum as well as in classrooms at local schools.
