Joytech Music Tesla Coil Acrylic Base Shell Arc Plasma Loudspeaker Wireless Transmission Experiment Desktop Toy Model (YS01)

I wanted a simple Tesla coil to show my AP Physics students when we talk about induction. This is relatively safe and shows the basics of high frequency high voltage. It's about the size of a soda can. It comes with a few discharge tips: a pointy stick like a small nail that screws onto the top (gets hot after 20-30 seconds so don't burn your fingers removing it), a thin wire attached to a small screw that screws onto the top and is loose at the top end so that the plasma can wiggle it around, and a spinner arm that balances on top. The sparks are about an inch long or less and nearly steady - not long bright white sparks like on big Tesla coils, but small purple plasma sparks. Music played via a laptop or phone headphone jack can be heard clearly if the volume is turned way up. A florescent tube lights up in your hand from about a foot away. It came as two main parts: the secondary simply screws onto the base. The base has the primary coil (about 4 turns), the driver circuitry, and a cooling fan. The acrylic parts give it a clean look and allow you to glance at the electrical components.

Would buy again. It does get hot to the touch. The kids love it

Bought this for my husband. He loves showing it off. It should not be operated for more than 20-30 minutes at a time, because it does heat up. Some reviews downgrade the review because of this, however all Tesla coils will do this. I would like to see an operation manual provided to help educate those who don't understand precisely how delicate a Tesla coil can be. If a manual was provided, I would have given 5 stars instead of 4. Otherwise, great product and worth the price!

This thing is very fun and thought provoking. I sounds surprisingly well, not that you would use it to listen to music for long but there is something fun about interacting with the music through a plasma ark. So many other little things to explore too. I had seen past reviews saying the music didn't work. I have two audio output jacks on my computer, one worked one did not. I bet it's common. It's made well, a touch on the small side but fun.

Fun and new little device, can burn so follow instructions. Would not allow young children to utilize, even with direct supervision.

This is a very well made product. Everything is encased in clear plastic for protection, but yet you can easily see the guts. This is a fantastic desk piece and conversation starter. I love that it came with several accessories for demonstrations. The music feature works, but you do need to turn the volume on the MP3 player to max for the Tesla to play the music. No assembly was required. It was really well packed for shipping protection. I note that Joytech post a lot of very similar Tesla devices and their advertisements really do not distinguish between the various models. This was the most expensive of their options. They really need a table showing how the various models differ. This is a small tesla coil so while the sparks are quite visible they are only about an inch long. This is a relatively low frequency Tesla coil so touching the sparks could be painful. I have a much larger tesla coil which operates at a higher frequency and with proper technique I can safely touch it. I am reluctant to try touching the Joytech Tesla coil.

Looks really nice however was faulty right of the box .. has difficulty getting the sound to work which was very sporadic and finally got sound to work and it worked for 10 minutes before sounding muffled like a blown out speaker would sound.. I’m really bummed out because I was so excited for the possibilities and I may do another review if the company will replace the power adapter And replace the unit. I used multiple cables and audio sources and yet it was very sporadic with sound cutting on and off ... power supply overheated from the get go until finally the switch melted completely. I would like the opportunity to try again with another unit if the company will respond and send a working unit that I can actually test out.

This is a cool little Tesla coil. A good learning tool that also adds decor to your living space and a conversation piece. Shipping was really fast as well. It was a bit disappointing to find out that the power supply/transformer didn’t work right out of the box. Excitingly Wanting to play with it, I was able to find another 24v power supply that just needed the plug wired on. So besides the junk 24v power supply it came with it’s a fun little unit.
