QCW Tesla coil records

Ramped coils only. Each build is one point, winding length against arc length, so the ratio is the slope from the origin and the dashed rays are lines of constant ratio. Coils driven in flat bangs are a different machine and are left off this plot.

Pick a point. The dashed rays are constant ratio, so a build above one got more out of its coil than a build below it.

Built one? Put it up.

Post it in Build Logs with the two lengths, how it was driven, and a single-take video with something of known size in frame. That is the standard the judged wall will use, and a build that arrives with it already goes straight on.

These are not judged records

Every point above is a published build. A filled point was checked on the builder's own page. A hollow point comes from our notes on the thread, which is better than hearsay but not the same as reading the source. None of them has been through the standard the wall will use for claims: a single-take video with a measurable reference in frame. Until then this is a starting set, and the markers show which kind each point is.

We worked the ratios out from the two lengths; the builders did not publish them, so any rounding is ours. Where a builder gave a ratio of their own, it is in the note. A build with no published winding length cannot go on the bottom axis, so it is listed under the plot instead of being left out.

Why the points do not line up along one ray is explained in what coupling actually buys. Read the safety guide before you chase length. While the wall is being built, post yours in Build Logs.
