Ignition coil powered tesla coil?

  • Answer:

    No. The ignition coil requires a sharp cutoff of current flowing through the primary of the ignition coil to produce a spark on the secondary of the coil. An audio waveform is basically a complex set of sine waves, which don't end abruptly when they reach a peak value. To produce the pulse of current in the ignition coil, a 555 timer produces a continuous set of square waves, which trigger a transistor to carry a heavier 12 volt current through the primary of the ignition coil.

NO, amplifier output has less than 30V p-p. Not high enough to drive the ignition coil to produce 10Kv. Besides, ignition coil was design to run at low frequency like below 60c/s. Most music signal never reach that low frequency. I used SCR to switching 115V AC through the primary coil. It can easily produce 12KV.
