You were creating A. C. in the old video, fine. but your tesla coils were not good, the arcs were too short/ the circuit was too complicated(compared to slayer exiter.
I tried experimenting around with other bjt and could reduce the size of the senondry coil to 7cm and diameter 3 inches, wire used about 34 AWG. Primary coil is the breadboard wire, 1 turn. but i got a decent hot arc length of about 1. 5 inches and could light up a cfl without being touched to the coil. (atleast better than your part 1 tesla coil.
for that i use mje 3055 NPN transistor, 22 k resistor and 12 v(1A. power supply.
maybe you should try this or use a zvs circuit, the induction heater you made(for primary coil) for a full sine wave A. C. inverter. You might find it interesting.

I have done a price analysis on building a DIY power wall - and in terms of the price per Kilowatt it is right on par with grid power usage fees! Which begs the question; why aren't more people DIYing their own power security? Great build! The laser labeling is a very nice touch too.

Maybe having a 1000W AC output for camping is quite an overkill, sarcastic if you will.
The project looks pretty nice but I'd stick with the buy version, doing some work on the diy version
like painting or protecting the wood from rain would be good
great video man

Why don't you use a 3D printer for the enclosure?
I know that in this case, the enclosure was big, but for other projects you can start printing, before the epectronics and you'll save some time.
Just wondering if you what your reasons are for the wood construction

Not a bad build!
I used a toolbox, and small 32650 cells all spot welded together for mine. It s got 2000ish Wh, but the same 1000W inverter. And I used a solar charger controller instead of a buck converter to charge. but I TOTALLY agree, DIY wins hands down.

Only issue I see is that those Inverters can do about double, for a very, very short amount even triple the power (speaking of switch mode power supplies or starter currents) - that could mean that the relais could be underdimensioned.

Nice build but I wouldn't have used the laser to make the front panel. Not because there is anything wrong with it but wooden panel with burn marks on an electric supply producing mains voltage is not exactly confidence-inspiring!

Why do you think, that you should always go for Pure Sinusoidal inverter, and not just square wave one? It doesn't matter for stuff like power supplies or resistive loads, so why would you pay a lot extra for it?

sir, are you ok?
your voice sounds settled down.
and thank you for making this comparison as I always felt commercial versions were under powered and looked cheap.
have a nice day!
