stupid question about the simple elektroschocker by Paul.

I want to run a mini tesla with the elektroschocker.
but printtrafo Sanders I at the elektroschocker make weilche, which by not smoking me.

I've got a very small now Test equipment rentals  bought with only 0,175 VA.
is he through smoke me right or does it work?
otherwise I must a 5VA or so he buy can from I smoke wünd a 10VA transformer buy - the you can also for other things use. I I did anyway just still a mistake

I bought instead of the bd139 transe a bt139 the button "Search" Search top left and give a "elektoschocker Tesla coil". Then press the Enter key and then gain among others following answers. Please read them. Anyone from smoking can and generally isolated Printtrafos are slightly better than normal transformers. 10VA waste is meinernach, because everyone can take, because the insulation just not for permanent 2kV (and even AC) is made. No matter whether 10VA Printtrafo or 0,175VA-Printtrafo - the design is print and consequently isolated. Because it makes no difference between 10VA and 0,175VA with regard to the dielectric strength. A 2VA made transformer also SPARCS. And anyway after use as the HV transformer I wouldn't it from the wall socket if you want you could insert you may ne mini build Teslacoil or a little Marx

Build the capacitor itself?

I have a question about the capacitor itself construction. I was wondering how much cm square aluminum foil is for 1 pf capacity needed, if you take plastic film as an insulator thickness of plastic film and whose material depends on the.
 
 Without HV electrical  detailed information you won't go further there... so I'm thinking it with thick plastic bags to make make it when two were film. (these formulas of wiki I not smart... will XD because I'm dähmlich)Just how much stress would keep it from then? Just a small build, voltage increase until he strikes through, then you know how much they endure: head bang:
Or you look even as voltage fixed your film is exactly and expect out then it friends.
