Description:

It was when I was on vacation with Tesla coil on the old way...
I didn't manage to get some good results. The best I could get was 5mm long sparks, but thay rarly appeared.
Now when I don't have enough time to play with that, I remembered that I made a mistake in position of primary coil. Primary coil should have secondary inside itself, not above! That was the main reason of many loses. I should make a big hole on board which is holding primary coil, so the secondary coil can fit in.
Other loses were on non-isolated wooden board which is holding primary coil (I fixed it) and on spark gap (I fixed it also).

On these pictures many fixes aren't shown. You can even see that I was using saltwater-capacitors for which I figured out that thay have too much loses.
