World Class System Design and Performance: Masterfully refined over five generations of system technology, the world-class Zeusaphone Z-54 delivers totally unmatched performance for a musical DRSSTC of its size. While standing at 27 inches tall, the arcs of the Zeusaphone Z-54 reach an incredible length twice the height that the system stands tall!
Just look at these pictures for proof of design! You won’t believe your eyes as you watch the Zeusaphone Z-54 cranking out incredible electrical arcs up to 4 1/2 feet long!
The arcs are so long, in fact, they can actually curl around the system to strike the ground even when the breakout rod is pointing straight up from the toroid! The musical storm of electricity that envelops this awesome machine is incredibly mesmerizing and a truly awe inspiring sight to behold.
Heavy Duty, High Power Design:
The extra heavy-duty design of the Zeusaphone Z-54 allows not only for outstanding electrical output, but long run times and smooth, reliable operation.
It is standard practice for hobbyist level Tesla coils and even more professionally built systems to stress their components well beyond their rated limits. This is not the case with any Zeusaphone products. We always use all-new, fully rated capacitors and power electronics to keep all voltages and currents well within their designed limits.
The Zeusaphone Z-54 has been designed to be safely pushed to its maximum power levels and regularly operated virtually maintenance free for a period of at least 10 years without any need to replace power electronics or capacitors.
Ultimate Reliability: Our unmatched system design includes these critical features to ensure the highest degree of reliability:
Current-control system: Active current control circuitry prevents excessive current draw to protect power switching electronics. High-Voltage Circuitry Protection: The possibility of sparks connecting with control circuitry on the base is not a concern, as in most common designs that self destruct when such an event occurs! Thermostatic Control System: Automatic thermal regulation prevents overheating of vital components, allowing for care-free operation and long run times, with no heat checking required for reliable performance. Pulse Capacitors: The heart of any Tesla coil, our fully-rated, extremely durable polypropylene pulse-capacitor bank has been perfect balanced via exhaustive experimentation to deliver the highest degree of performance possible. What is crucial to note is all Chinese-made Tesla coils and even US-made cheap imitations push their capacitors far beyond their rated limitations, even going to far as to place cooling fans on them, as if this helps the fact that the internal dielectric is quickly disintegrating. Thus, no other Tesla coil in the world can offer the level of guaranteed reliability as only the original Zeusaphone offers. One Year Warranty: Provides full support and protection against any functional defect for one year.
This Fully Featured System Includes: -Z-54 Power Base: Featuring an indestructible polycarbonate (bulletproof glass) base material, chrome steel supports and full metal through rods, the base is extremely durable and made to last decades to come. -High Quality Power Electronics: 600A, 1200V IGBT Ultra High Frequency IGBT Module provides superior power processing, coupled with a huge 4.9″x7″ square inch aluminum heatsink and high output 120mm fan, allowing for all-day long operation at moderate current and voltage input! *Custom options pictured show 7.28″x7″ heatsink, extra high output EBM-Pabst fan, and slightly larger 800A IGBT. -Extra Large Electrolytic Capacitor Bank: Allows for smooth, clear, pop-free audio playback for many years to come. -Fully Rated Pulse Capacitor Bank– Fully rated, expertly tuned and balanced for maximum efficiency and system performance. Designed to last well over a decade of 100% solid performance. -Extremely Thick Epoxy Coated Secondary Coil: Our unique process allows for an extremely thick and durable coating, with a resulting thickness of up to 50 coats of typical polyurethane. While providing superior electrical insulation, it can also take a beating without compromising functionality. -Spun Toroid: The beautiful 12×3″ spun aluminum toroid sets it off. –Musical/Pulse Controller: This system includes a truly world-class, fiber optically isolated dual-channel MIDI musical audio controller. Capable of intelligently interpreting MIDI audio with stunning clarity, individual on controller dials allow for mixing track volumesto produce the absolute best sound possible.*not pictured -Variable Power Transformer: Included with this system is a 20A 120V variable power transformer, allowing for the ultimate degree of control over spark length. Used to control input power, it also acts as a master control for balancing the two MIDI tracks. *not pictured -Pulse-Generator: Built into the musical controller, the variable frequency pulse generator allows adjustable control over pulse frequency from 100-500HZ and duty cycle for operation in non-musical mode. -Fiber Optic Cable: Connection from the Tesla coil to the musical controller is provided with an included 10M long fiber optic cable. This great feature helps keep the high voltage isolated for maximum performance and reliability. -USB to MIDI Adapter: Play 2-channel MIDIs from your PC!
