Neon Sign Transformer/ Update
Ok so its been a while. Sorry I have been distracted by many things and getting the NST was a NIGHTMARE.
To help you all out this post will explain how to get a neon sign transformer/NST.
Modern day NST's have a GFCI chip in them that basically make making tesla coils or anything else with them very very difficult. Thats why people say get older NST's as they don't have the chip in. Now in england its impossible to get an NST that does not have the GFCI in. It is possible to buy one and take the chip out but its hard and if done wrong can kill the transformer. The only way to get one will be to order one of ebay coming from america and with there outrages weight, the shipping charge is about £100!. This is why it took me ages to get one as I was looking for one that was cheap. If you live in america its fine but if not I advise going here. There shipping charges are cheaper but still quite expensive.
The website is great for high voltage projects including jacobs ladders, rail guns and lasers. (Might be my next project)
I got the 6kv one. Any way that is why this project has not been updated in awhile so thanks for being patient!
