Capacitor Bank

The capacitor bank and primary coil make up the primary circuit for the tesla coil. Now if you have done the math correctly in one of the first steps you should know which capacitors your using, how many of them in a string and how many parallel strings there are. If you do not know this re-read the maths steps. If you are making a tesla coil the same as mine you will need 9 of these in series with only one string.

This step is not hard; all you need to do is make something to hold your components  on and do some wiring. I suspended a piece of balsa wood by 1cm high dowels and on the wood would be the circuitry for the bank. Once you have that you need to solder the wires. Put one of the resistors i put in the parts list between each cap and just wire then in series or parallel depending on what your maths tells you. My one just had all nine caps in a string one after the other with a resistor after each one. Don't bother connecting the start and the end of the string to anything yet. 

Once this is done, stick the bank to the main frame of the tesla coil ready to be hooked up in a later step.
