Building a Wireless Power Plasma Candle ( Flame Discharge ft. Teslaundmehr)
Imagine a candle that never runs out of wax. One which transmits wireless power, and burns hot enough to instantly melt metal. A plasma flame, which is controlled by a dial. It would be nice if something like that existed. Well, now it does. As a collaboration between Plasma Channel and Leon at Teslaundamehr, this project was one of my favorite builds to date. NOTE: My location is RF shielded, and all precautions were taken to eliminate local RF interference (though, with flame lit, RF interference is near zero).

Thanks for watching! PLEASE NOTE: 1) I ensured my location was RF shielded, 2) The candle does not resonate at exactly 10Mhz - closer to 10.8, and 3) I encourage anyone attempting flame discharges in USA, to do so in an RF shielded location as well. Causing interference is literally illegal.
I used to build spark gap Tesla Coils. Neighbors complained more for the loud noises!
I think that you are ok with that great coil! I doubt that it will radiate very far. I was attempting to make a joke! Fail! Sorry.
hey Jay can you please do me a favor and do a video on field shapes using your led board and different shapes of em coils but please be shure to include the inside field of a square cone coil 4x4in 4, 1/2 in length 3 1/2x3 1/2 in at the small end I need this for the accelerator for a full spectrum ion thruster prototype.... little side project I'm working on somehow like half of my comment got deleted I had to go back and edit it.
Jay your dad dint tell you but your brother is living in the UK his name is Jamie Oliver, google him
Super! Like and sub now
Very nice flame, dude. You know what it means now, I HAVE TO MAKE IT BIGGER!! MUAHAHA And oh by the way, you could now find a way to modulate the output to play audio, FROM FLAMES!!
i look forward to that video
Need to add zilipoper to the team kzhead.infovideos
ElectroBOOM , the best audio modulation I got with buck converter. You can see it kzhead.info/sun/jbqrfqqjfnWIlIk/bejne.html Circuit is here: flyback.org.ru/viewtopic.php?p=4367060#4367060 Should work here too. In theory, it would be possible to feed sound signal through a blocking capacitor to the gate of the transistor. But I haven't tried that.
Hey @ElectroBOOM i'm from lebanon I love your channel I always watch your videos and i'm interested in Electronics and telecommunication but the economical situation in lebanon is super shit , The lebanese lira went down 9x its original value In the past year, So now we pay 9 times what you used to, to get one product we can't buy any thing barely food and some life necessary things I want to develop my skills in my major if you could send us some sponsored lab equipment or give us money to buy some lab equipment that will be a big help and thanks any way 🙏
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuull bridge rectifier
excellent build and beautiful layout! i like how the DC input voltage is low enough that you don't have to worry about being zapped by playing with the flame. i'll have to try building one of these. my suggestion: try putting lithium chloride on the output electrode for r e d flames
Hi I love your videos I've been subscribed for 2 years
You can also add some LiCl to your salt shaker to keep those pesky mood swings under control. 😉
Was waiting for your comment to be honest! Nice job on your projects
Styro pyro

Wow, I love this. It is so elegant, and a wonderful presentation; Excellent job!
Thanks man, I appreciate that!
I see you everywhere
Where have you been man!?
@@PlasmaChannel so when are you going to add an inductive audio transformer to it?
I LOVE that my favourite youtubers all follow each other
Fun fact: TeslaUndMehr means Tesla and more. Which means his channel is about Tesla and other things. Just a FYI for everybody not that familiar with German. He deserves a lot more subs.
It’s not that hard to figure out, but thank you for translating for those who don’t understand Deutsch
Jay your setup looks amazing! And the flame is really impressive. That would really be something for your next date ;D It was great to work with you!
Jay is a really nice man. 😇
Here is the link to your video Leon, somehow I couldn't find it in his video description: kzhead.info/sun/YKWKncV5fKuKnJs/bejne.html not that you personally need it ;)
@@MasterIvo Thanks Leon, awesome working with you too! Master Ivo, i've updated my video description - much appreciated!
@@GRUNT_hub Yeah, he kinda butchered it
Impressive, high-quality work, and very informative. I recognize this great job, no matter how much I messed with tesla coils for over 10 years, last year I discovered the "trap" that this simple circuit becomes with an apparently insignificant change in some variable. When I finally managed to make mine generate 4cm long flames, I decided to took my camera to record, but the circuit stopped working due to the change in the capacitance / frequency of the resonator as soon as I moved away hahaha
You are tesla coil God (DRSSTC)
Hey Franzoli! Thank you very much. It really was my favorite project...I think ever. As for it falling out of tune: Oh man... truer words could not be said.

"It works and I don't know why" ... spoken like a true natural philosopher . Great stuff! Thanks for sharing.
Haha thanks!
So entertaining and refreshing to watch some good, solid tech from someone with real, engaging personality. Well done!
60,000 BC - man discovers fire 2021 AD - man *invents* fire Enjoyable video, Jay! I especially enjoyed how you look like you just woke up :)
Haha that's legit. Thanks Dayton. I am going to try and rock the messy hair look more often.
Well near the start he says this was invented years ago, he just wants to try it out because its amazing.
Sorry this is old tech. Mostly Russian. Just copied by american 🏈 heads.
@@johnnycash4034 Pyr-A-MId literally means "fire in the middle". Nice try. The Egyptians had it down, and actually made it a utility instead of a fanciful clown folly.
Beautiful!
Wow actual keysight labs
like them up so jay can see them
This is a professional production with technical writers, key grips, cameramen, editors and ACTORS... and it shows.
Romantic dinner with the Tesla coil sitting on a chair was epic! :D
This looks really amazing! Also looks like your most difficult project to reproduce, due to all the tuning. Can't wait to try anyhow!
Woooo! Thanks Nigel! If you try to reproduce it, feel free to reach out for tuning help. It took me dozens of hours haha.
@@PlasmaChannel U bought the knockoff 260s by the looks of them 5:43 , as have I, and they have a larger than specified poorly defined gate capacitance, also the ON resistance is prob off spec
@@PlasmaChannel Or U wish you'd bought the knockoffs judging from the pile LOL
He can't reproduce he's a dude
Lol
Can't wait to binge all your videos so I can finally understand what the acrylic reference means.
All these collaborations are amazing! Seeing scientific sharing and peer review is the way forward. KZhead facilitates this so well and your channel is so great at this.
Thank you!
Building one of these is my now on my project list. Keep doing some awesome videos Jay !👌
Thank you
As a German, I can confirm we really have sick wires here! :D
I love that he posts his music in the description. Not everyone does that so major props!
It's amazing at how people with no engineering training at all can successfully build projects like this! With proper understanding of the circuit theory it would be so much easier to predictably make the circuit work the first time. This is so much better than sitting around playing video games all day!
Ture! Though, the circuit was precisely calculated to begin with. But, small fluctuations in the design, resulting from building materials, is what causes all the testing and calibration. For example, my 2.5cm diameter resonator is actually 2.65cm, but, is labelled "1 inch acrylic pipe" at my store (25.4mm). So, discrepancies like that already throw the resonance out of wack. Coupled with building it on top a heat sink, creating a capacitive effect, also throws the calculations out of wack.
This is so cool! I just got mine working - I used a Phase Locked Loop IC as an oscillator to control the gate of the mosfet because I was really eager to try it out, and although it has to be manually tuned to the resonance frequency it works great, with a flame almost one inch long. I will try and start making it self resonating now. Thanks for your inspiring videos!
Tom, that is a really interesting method i am not familiar with. Do you mind explaining what you mean?
@@PlasmaChannel Hi Jay. A few days ago I was messing around with phase locked loops, which I could use to generate any frequency between 1 kHz and 100 MHz that can be set digitally, and happened to still have one set up on my desk after watching your video. I then connected the variable output frequency to a mosfet driver which drove a mosfet’s gate. I used a coil very similar to yours. I then added a resonance capacitor. I connected the power and then had to increment the frequency until I saw a discharge at the top meaning that the resonance frequency of mine had been reached, 11.863 MHz. There are many disadvantages to this way though, such as having to manually tune it based on the capacitance of the environment around it, and the mosfet gets really hot. The way you did it is much better - I just really wanted to try it as soon as possible because it was so amazing, but I’m building yours now.
@@tomg0 Dude, what is the part number for the P.L.L chip you used...or was this part of some prebuilt device ?
Nice flame, cool!
Thank you for blessing us with your videos
Stunningly simplified a discovery most future rests upon. Danke, spasibo and thanks.
this is amazing!
Electroboom will shoot the star from space to earth , he loves oscilloscope so much
I love the way you're making it, Sir. You are so thoughtful!
Thanks!
@@PlasmaChannel U r welcome. :)
totally amazing, i wanna build one now lol. On the subject of the 1 hand rule, its also best to use your right hand not your left, you show it but didnt mention it, for those who dont know why, its just the path to ground via your left arm can also pass through your heart and disrupt its rhythm. keep up the amazing work, this channel is up there with my faves like ElectroBOOM and Styropyro.
Syropyro has a crazy one of these:D
I'm new to your chann,this is interesting to me thanks,for having the chann,and I have always been fascinated with magnets and high electricity,even hydromagnetic engines,
Dude... great job... good production value, good projects and good presentation... respect
Thanks for a really good video regarding plasma generators and tuning them for such a nice little project. I bought a plasma cutter thirty years ago or so, in my machine shop, well familiar with theory, but I've never made plasma with semiconductors and of such generous power for it's size, I find that a perfect "coffee table candle", great build. Thanks again.
Hi John, glad you enjoyed so much! Thanks for watching. Wait until you see my video coming out in a week.
Awesome! Those flames look so cool and so dangerous, and the design of your coil is really neat! I have built a 13.56 MHz MOSFET powered coil a few years ago, with similar results. I've found that there are a few things that increase efficiency: -Pick a FET with a high d V_ds/dt rating. This becomes crucial above ~100W, because a parasitic bipolar transistor is triggered if this rating is surpassed, shorting your supply. -Pick a FET with gate structure metallization. Normal FETs have a few ohms of internal gate series resistance, which leads to high losses. Metallized gates can have way below 1 Ohm, which is important at several amps of gate drive current. Also, lower resistance means better resonance. And yes, you can actually burn an uncooled MOSFET just by driving it at these frequencies. Don't ask how i found out...
can you share diagram?
That is awesome! I want to try and build one of those now. Have you ever thought about using vacuum tubes for your experiments?
Before I read your comment I asked the same question. That would be quite an interesting project. There was an old Popular Electronics article back in the '60s that did that with a small vacuum tube and flyback from a tv set.
Hey Tanner! I love your work man. I have a few vacuum tubes, just, like transistors!
@@eminusipi I had that magazine, I bought a box of old Popular Electronics magazines from a flea market 27 years ago. It had two coils to build, a large one and a small one in a metal box with a very odd old fullback and vacuum tube, very cool.
Hey; nice seeing you here tanner ;)
@@PlasmaChannel Thanks!!! I enjoy your work as well! I have a 10kw transmitter tube, I may be trying your circuit(with a few modifications of course) with that tube later. It would be a lot harder to burn out than a mosfet haha
"A lot cooler"… "A lot hotter" I'd say. It's amazing!
The losing-your-sanity-over-trial-and-error was SO relatable. TYSM for letting me know I'm not the only one!!
Here is the direct link to Leon's plasma video: kzhead.info/sun/YKWKncV5fKuKnJs/bejne.html somehow I couldn't find it in the video description?!
Please make a GM counter using very high voltage.. that would be amazing..
Remarkable video. Mind blowing amount of hours. Great job Jay.
Thanks so much Gary!
too thoughtful to say godly. I wish you a lot of success and lots of videos that you like...thanks
Bro this is going to get like half a million views before long, that's awesome. I hope the FCC doesn't get mad wait no I don't care.
First offense for deliberate interference can net a $10,000.00 fine and some significant jail time, beware, it has happened. Look up the fines & jail earned by hacker ( now supposedly reformed named Kevin Mitnick) Have fun, but try & comply.
Its a really cool build. I first saw this from styropyro just "slightly" bigger.
Haha yeah Drake's build was waayyyy scarier
@@PlasmaChannel your saying Complete disassembly of whatever touches the flame is scary?
Congratulations super tenacity but it paid. Great explanation over it . I can't wait to try to build one. Thank you very much for paving the road for us.
I’m glad you enjoyed the build. It took some time, and thank you for taking the time to comment.
Great sense of humor. As someone once said, a burned out transistor is better than a pair of idle hands. Thanks.
thats just beautiful, but imagine sittina at a dinner table with that and reaching over to grab something...
then picking ur teeth with a light saber
you wouldn't reach over a regular candle anyways... and if you did touch the flame from this you would get a burn, but that's about it
@@reecebeck971 true
@@reecebeck971 yes a Burn from a ~150 Watt Plasma that can melt steel
Would love to see it out inside one of those fake battery powered candles. They’re hollow inside or can be hollowed out easily and they have ones big enough for that contraption. Would be cool if in every way it was a candle. Maybe see if you can trick people or have them side by side with a real one.
Wow Jay that is a brain tesser . Amazing build looks awesome and you never give up for us ,so well done an thankyou .
Excellent device design and presentation!
I would start by measuring the LC secondary/150pF resonant frequency at low voltages, using a nanoVNA or a signal generator and the scope. Once you know this, then it would be a much simpler matter to tweak the driving oscillator to get to the same frequency. You'll be in the ballpark a lot quicker, and burn through less components along the way.
So assuming That I am invincible to heat could I touch this without getting damaged Also you keep referring to the flame as being made out of plasma But I'm pretty sure all Flames are made out of plasma just some are made from a chemical reaction And not ridiculous amount of electricity
true
Just subscribed after watching your cold plasma video. You are like my plasma yoda instructor! Teaching me oh wise but really cool one!
Alright just found this channel, and this is my second video that I watched after the cold plasma one..... Subscribed! Keep up the awesome work! 👍🏻
Thanks so much! Welcome to the family
Woah Teslaundmehr? Edit: Haha his german accent
JUST TELL ME ONE THING THAT WHAT IS THERE TO DISLIKE THIS VIDEO IT GOT 46 DISLIKES ITS ONLY GIVING KNOWLEDGE FOR US NOTHING HARM OR RULE BREAKING OR SENSITIVE SO DONT DO THIS FRIENDS
Well maybe some People expected this thing to do their laundry for them
Not child friendly I think
@@Aloewells That is the most asinine reason for disliking anything ever. Go ahead and dislike kitchen knives, toothpicks, bodies of water, lightning bolts, etc. At some point the parent has to accept responsibility for their dumbass child's survival by keeping them safe from the non-child-friendly objects in the world. The truth is that even a video of a "cute something" will have a dislike. Research has been done on this topic, look it up. Also, if it makes you feel any better, yes, it is possible that some douche disliked this video because the resulting project is not child-friendly. Such is as likely as someone did not like the solder joints, someone did not like how he mounted something, someone did not like the way he described something, someone did not like his hair...just dumbass kids living in a basement that have never accomplished anything being judgmental of others, and just worthless oxygen-thieving trolls who are picky to the point of ordering fries with a specific salt-grain count on each fry. The world is filled with whiners, entitled losers, non-unit-producing complainers...the reasons for the dislikes are as varied as the people who leave them. Only one thing is for certain, they are the ones that make the world a shitty place to live. They are also the type of person that would let their kids fall into gorilla enclosures at the zoo.
Used to use a plasma torch in the Chem lab to break down inorganic elements from soil and water samples (in a spectrometer). It was pretty, but quite hot and dangerous. Never thought of having one as a decoration.... Fun video, thanks!
Explains it really well
Who else came here from the action lab?
The one hand rule is useless against high voltage high frequency. The good news is that you cannot get electrocuted, it just burns you, so it’s like ordinary fire... except it goes through wires.
True. I saw a video years where a dermatologist used HF current to remove warts by cooking them off.
I was playing around with a flyback once, at a couple of tens of kilohertz and I got zapped off of a piece of sheet metal that was lying on the floor not connected galvanically to any of the wiring, just from capacitance. It gave me a small shock, equivalent to accidentally brushing against mains on an isolated floor, though the burn mark it created was quite unpleasant. I still have a tiny pinhole on the tip of my finger nearly a year later.
Isn't that the one saying the current flow, magnetic field and force directions?
Wow the way you describe it sounds absolutely terrifying LoL.
As per usual electrical safety goes though, voltages exceeding somewhere in the ballpark of 50-60V whether AC or DC is considered potentially dangerous. This may not be true for everyone but a standard has to be set somewhere. Dc bus voltages on the circuits can sometimes reach that high, or more.
Nice video!! Best collaboration;) brilliant work @teslaundmehr !!!
Thanks a ton!!
Wow such a cool project. Thanks Jay. I didn't expect the electroboom shock lol.
Thank you!
10:07 - Oh no... That is not true at all. You are mistaking efficiency for device fT & fMAX...
can you explain in simple terms iyhtt?
@@Live.Vibe.Lasers ..potato
The real question is, can i light my bong with that candle ?
It can, you can even impress your friends
It'll light the water inside the bong if you hold it there for a few seconds.

So nice Jay. This project is super cool. Love to try this one too.
Hey Kian! This project took me over $300 to produce. It will blow up everything from your powersource, to any batteries that you use. Once it works correctly, it will not break anything, but, in the process of tuning it, expect to spend a lot of money. Be safe. Cheers!
@@PlasmaChannelwow. 300. I do not think I can get my dad to sponsor me this time :-( Will you make a DIY kit like you did with the small tesla coil?
