High Quality Museum-Grade Construction:
Professionally built with high attention to detail, the 2021 ZFX-160 features an extremely high quality construction process with only the best quality components, ensuring reliable performance in the most demanding of applications. Our original ZX-160, Tessie, has been a star attraction of Portland’s Quarterworld Arcade since 2016, permanently on display with regular shows 3 times a week (see the inverted coils on our Video page). We also kick started the success of the new San Antonio Museum of Science and Technology in 2017 with a pair of custom designed Z-85’s, now supplemented by a pair of custom ZX-160 Tesla coils pictured to the side (Museum Version).
Unique Features:
One of our latest designs over the course of 20 years in Tesla coil development, the Zeusaphone ZFX-160 delivers extreme spark lengths that few Tesla coils in the world can exceed. Capable of playing 4 simultaneous notes of MIDI audio, it is also our richest sounding coil of all, with the deepest, fullest sounding bass notes. Not only was the ZFX-160 designed to produce the longest possible for a coil of its size, but we’ve given it plenty of additional current to produce even brighter and more impossibly intense discharges than ever before.

Ultimate Reliability:
Our world-class system design includes these critical features to ensure smooth, reliable operation:Current-control system: Active current control circuitry prevents excessive current draw to protect power switching electonics.
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.
Two-Year Full Warranty on Parts and Labor: Ensures parts, labor and technical support for 2 years on purchases. Inquire for leasing options.

Zeusaphone Support:
With help of our detailed user manual, anyone with a modest amount of technical ability can be quickly instructed how to get the very most from the Zeusaphone ZFX-160. With 20+ years of experience building Tesla coils, we will gladly, freely provide our invaluable expert advice with each system to teach and instruct you how to maximize performance of your new Zeusaphone system. Live telephone support from an an experienced Zeusaphone engineer is available to help setup your system to ensure you bring your system to life in its fullest, most glorious form! The power is placed within your grasp!

This Fully Featured System Includes:
-ZFX-160 Power Base: Featuring marine-grade, UV-resistant polyethylene base material, chrome steel supports and full metal through rods, the ZFX-160 base is extremely rigid and durable.
-Heavy Duty Power Electronics: The immensely powerful 13,000 Watt RMS full-bridge of IGBT modules provide generous power handling capabilities beyond the system’s maximum power draw. Coupled with a huge 12″x12″ aluminum heatsink and 4 high output 120mm fans, the ZFX-160 has enough power handling capability for the most demanding of applications.
-Extra Large Electrolytic Capacitor Bank: Allows for smooth, clear, pop-free audio playback for at least 10+ years to come.
-Fully Rated Pulse Capacitor Bank– Fully rated, expertly tuned and balanced for maximum efficieny and system performance, we back this powerhouse with a 5-year warranty. 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.
-Copper Toroid: A 42″x9″ copper spiral toroid sets it off, allowing for production of beautiful side branches.*Spun aluminum toroid as pictured is available at an additional cost. Inquire for details.
-Optional Spun Aluminum Toroid: A spun aluminum toroid is optionally available in place of our copper spiral toroid. Additional lead time required.
–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 volumes to produce the absolute best sound possible.
-Industrial Grade Variable Power Transformer: Included with this system is an industrial-grade Powerstat variable power transformer, allowing for the 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 15M long fiber optic cable. This great feature helps keep the high voltage isolated for maximum performance and reliability.
-USB to MIDI Adapter: We have included a bonus USB-to-MIDI adapter for connection to a PC or Mac computer, and a collection of our best MIDI files to get you started.
-Custom Verisons Available: Classic HD, Faraday-suit tunable and Museum options are available as pictured, in addition to other customizable styles.
