Building a Tesla Coil


Video showing the construction of a typical spark-gap type Tesla Coil. There was a lot of information and I couldn't cover everything in this video. So there will be more in a part 2. But this gives some basic info for building a Tesla Coil.

Yes. There are 1,000,000,000microfarads(uF) in one farad. There are 1000nanofarads(nF) in 1microfarad and 1000picofarads(pF) in 1nanofarad. This means that there are 1,000,000picofarads in one microfarad. So .001microfarads is 1nanofarad, and 1000picofarads are 1nanofarad.

In other words, this means that you're correct.
