The miniBrute DRSSTC Tesla system, which is featured in the book, DRSSTC: Building the Modern Day Tesla Coil - MiniBrute Reference Design, is a small two foot solid state Tesla coil which is specially designed to product the biggest arcs possible in the smallest package. At only two feet high, including the base, this system produces output arcs of 36 inches in length and when properly tuned can produce arcs exceeding 48 inches. And when used in conjuction with the Advanced Modulator, this DRSSTC is capable of creating a wide array of effects including burst modes, single shot mode, long pulse mode, and an infinite number of other effects with continuously variable pulsewidth and PRF parameters. With the Xenosonic Audio Modulator, you can even connect this coil to your keyboard or synthesizer and play music through the high voltage arcs.
Please note that the miniBrute Reference Design, which includes complete electrical and mechanical plans and instructions is not included with any of the kits. This book must be purchased separately. Schematics can be provided at no charge for any miniBrute Kit order via email.
Also note that an controller, also called an Interrupter or Modulator is also required for the operation of the miniBrute DRSSTC. We recommend the Advanced Modulator for all of the miniBrute DRSSTC kits as it provides the most functionality.
