Made a Housing for my Y-m06 - Geigercounter
Made it with Tinkercad, I will 3D-Print it with gummi TPU :)

My First Geigercounter Y-M06
Hii guys, i bought myself the first Geigercounter, its a Y-M06, is it a "good" one for start (can i measure something?)

Details to my ZVS Flyback Tesla Coil:
1. ZVS Driver with two IRFp260n N-Channel MOSFET's
2. bsc25-t1010a Flyback Transformer (from Kathode Ray TV) with 10 Winding Primary
3. Tank capacitor 10nF 10kV -> 10x CBB81 333 (33 nF / 2 kV)
4. (Left) My current Tesla Coil Secondary 700kHz 700 Turns, 5cm ~1.97Inch Diameter and 16cm ~6.3Inch hight. (Right) new One :) (both 3D Printed)
5. Selfmade Topload from 3D Printer with Alu-Tape

Hello everyone,
I've built a rather small direct ZVS driver Tesla coil.
It's already working reasonably well, but I still need some help.
I'm already getting 2.6 cm (1 inch) sparks to the ground, but no streamers yet, or only tiny ones of 0.1 mm (0.004 inch).
My secondary coil is 16 cm (6.3 inches) high and has a diameter of 5 cm (2 inches). I have approximately 700 turns of 0.2 mm (0.0078 inch) enameled wire. At the top, I have a donut (toroidal) topload, which is 15 cm (6 inches) wide and 4 cm (1.6 inches) high.
My secondary coil's resonant frequency is 700kHz, which I calculated and also determined using a WaveGen.
For my ZVS driver, I'm using a 24V 25A power supply, and the ZVS circuit is set up as follows:
I'm using two IRFp260n MOSFETs.
I've already tested several primary coils and found that a 6-turn pancake coil works best. I also calculated the capacitor values and then tested them. Ialso tried different Toploads. I'm using a WIMA 10nF 2000VDC capacitor. I also tested 11nF - 750nF and 3nF - 9nF for safety, and 10nF was definitely the best.
What can I change here to get bigger streamers?
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
I look forward to any comments and thank you in advance. 😄

Hii, I build a ZVS- Driver Tesla Coil, I have a Bequiet 700W E9 BQT 12VDC 22A Power Supply.
This is the Plan for it:
The Frequency of the Secondary is 700Khz.
(when it is working im going up to 24VDC 20A )
I tested capacitors (WIMA) from 3 nF to 175 nF, but couldn't find a good frequency, i also tested diferent Primary Coils like Pancake, stacked etc. with 10nF and the 4 Turn Primary stacked with 1cm distance between the Turns I got the following:
Thats the good one (have no better PIC)
So, I turned on the Tesla coil and haven't gotten any streamers yet, only about 2cm ground flashes, but it was a hot, thick, constant flash; that's because I still have the wrong frequency.
When I'm near the top load with the grounding wire, there's an approximately 7mm streamer on the grounding wire.
I look forward to every reply and thank you in advance <3
