Tesla coil records and extremes

[johnnyzoo]

Has anyone collected information about various extremes and records of Tesla coils? Such as:

-- Largest by physical dimensions

-- Smallest by physical dimensions (might be hard to find out, we all have seen pen-sized coils on the internet)

-- Highest input power

-- Highest supply voltage

-- Highest operating frequency. Any VHF coils out there?

-- Lowest operating frequency. Anything below 20 kHz?

-- Year of first time built, by type


and anything else that may come up.

Saw this youtube claim for longest DRSSTC arcs at 3.48m:

I think Mads already had that beat.  Perhaps others too.

Isn't it meant like a record for himself?

I guess if you count the Wardenclyffe Tower, you might have a good candidate for the biggest one.

Hm, probably. But was it ever operational?

Many people like to claim that theirs is biggest or best in the world.

A common problem in recent decades:
excess confidence that Youtube and Google searches,
in an area of personal interest, can easily and quickly discover all competition.

People have shown, in this very thread, that respectable things can disappear from the Internet.
That doesn't cancel any associated world records, earned honor and acclaim, etc.

Not even DR, but yes, very big.  Lightning on Demand (Greg) can comment since he's the builder, but that machine has no resonant primary cap so its basically a huge SSTC.

thank you I have just corrected in the previous message:

Ps: your site on drsstc is really good!

Can anyone direct me to the build for Steve Ward's Project Titan, this thing is insane.
I've searched through https://www.stevehv.4hv.org/SSTCindex.htm and attempted to find info using google but the best I can find is a few YouTube videos and a 4hv thread similar to this one.
