What is hightensioneffects.co.uk?

Updated

hightensioneffects.co.uk is a personal hobby website run by Mike and Brian, dedicated to Tesla coils and other high-voltage projects. It is a reference and project-log site rather than a commercial store: the page describes itself as "our little place on the web" and carries a copyright notice dated 2022. If you are looking for practical build notes, wiring references, and project documentation on Tesla coils and related high-voltage experiments, this is the kind of site that fits that purpose.

What the site covers

The homepage lists the main sections, which indicate the scope of the content:

  • About us – background on the two builders
  • Components – parts used in their builds
  • Wiring Diagrams – schematics for reference
  • Measuring and tuning – how they set up and adjust coils
  • Materials and connections – construction materials and joining methods
  • Gallery and Videos – visual records of builds and results
  • Cut down pole pig project – a specific transformer-based project
  • 3 coil magnifier system – a multi-coil build
  • Jacobs ladders and other cool stuff – additional high-voltage demonstrations
  • Contact us – a way to reach the site owners

The combination of diagrams, tuning notes, and project write-ups suggests the site is aimed at people already interested in building or studying Tesla coils, rather than at casual readers.

Who it is useful for

This site suits hobbyists, students, and makers who want to see how one pair of builders approached coil construction, wiring, and tuning. It is not a structured course or a product catalogue. Because the content is organized around the authors' own projects, expect first-hand build documentation rather than general theory.

Safety note

The site includes an explicit disclaimer stating that the authors cannot be held responsible for damage or injury caused by using the information on their pages, and warns that high voltages can be lethal. Anyone using the material should treat it as hobbyist documentation and follow appropriate high-voltage safety practices.
