What is a tap on a Tesla Coil and where should you wire it?
Connor1197
If you are working with a coil, you should have all parts of the coil and knowledge to work with them. In the related links box below, I posted a websited which has all this knowledge and another one about builduing the tesla coil.

How does a tap work?
If you look under your sin there should be a few pipes and 1 green wire. I think the green wire is a air wire witch when you twist the tap it releases air at one side (depends what side tap you used) and forces the water up and out and the other side just sucks air in.
What is the symbol of an autotransformer?
A coil symbol with a tap (usually close to one end, but not always).
How do you turn a unipolar stepper motor into a bipolar stepper motor?
It depends on how your motor is wired.5 wire , 6 wire or 8 wire (4 wire are nearly always bipolar already) 5 wire: For 5 wire motors you need to determine which wire is the common wire.To do that use an ohm meter to find the wire that has the lowest reading to all 4 of the other wires that is the common. You will not connect anything to this wire in bipolar mode however to figure out which wires must be paired we need to hook it up to the positive terminal of a power supply or battery. Hook up one of the other 4 wires to ground. Note how hard it is to turn the motor shaft. Leave this wire connected and hook another wire to ground. Check how hard it is to turn the motor shaft. Disconnect that wire and connect to the next wire. When one of the three other wires is connected the shaft will turn with almost no effort. That wire and the first wire connected to ground are Motor phase A The other two wires should be paired and would be phase B. A pair of vise locks on the shaft will make it easier to turn the motor shaft. A vise helps to hold the motor. It does not matter that the center of the coils are connected. That point will always be the same voltage for all power connections to the motor at about 1/2 voltage supply. The common wire should be left unconnected.6 wire: With the six wire version hook up the ohm meter to one wire probe the other five wires. three wires will be open they will be phase B. The other two will show a resistance one about twice that of the other or nearly the same value. If the values are the same the first wire you connected to was the center tap and is not used. The other two wires are phase A. If the values are different The low resistance is the center tap and is not used. The first wire you connected to and the high resistance wire is Phase A. Now connect the ohm meter to one of the wires that had an open circuit. Test the resistance to the other two wires and use the same logic to determine which wires are phase B.8 wire: First you need to sort the wires out to coil pairs. Use your ohm meter. Hook up to one wire and check the other 7. Only one wire should show as connected. That is the other wire for coil 1 pair. Do the same for the remaining wires until you have identified all 4 coil pairs. Now use a power supply and hook one wire from coil 1 to positive. Hook the other wire from coil 1 to negative. Note how hard it is to turn the shaft. Leave coil 1 connected. Hook one wire from coil 2 to positive the other to negative. Turn the shaft. Reverse the wires to coil 2. Turn the shaft. Try the other two wire pairs. One connection for one of the wire pairs will allow the shaft to turn with almost no effort. When that pair is reversed the effort to turn the motor will be very hard. That pair of coils will be phase A. Hook them up so it is very hart to turn the motor shaft. Mark the polarity for phase A coil wires. Disconnect phase A wires and connect the other coil wires up to the power supply. Turn the shaft. Is it easy or hard. If it is easy reverse one of the coils. It should now be hard to turn the motor shaft. Mark the polarity for phase B coil wires. The phase coils can be connected in parallel or series. Just make sure you maintain the connection polarity that gives the highest torque to turn the shaft.
230V single phase 2 wire should be assumed to have two hot wires?
Yes it should. Each wire with reference to ground will have a potential of 115 V and obviously 230 V between the two. The neutral in your system is a tap taken off the middle of the winding between your two main conductors. So again yes they will both be hot and should be de-energized if any work is being done.
How can you lay earthing strip on cable tray?
no use laying an earthing strip in a cable tray better tap both the ends of the earthing wire to the trunking,it will save your wire also,or lay out a cable in the other trunking where you have low voltage wire running in.

How do you bypass amp in Dodge Durango?
Tap into the infinity amplifier green wire with red stripe.. Tap not cancel and adapt. I believe wire number is 4. Tap into it with head unit remote amp wire. Normally blue with white stripe.
Where on the coil pack do you tap into to hook up a tach on a 95 2.2 cav if it doesnt already have a stock tach?
there is a white almost tanish looking solid color wire on the group of wires that plug into the guage cluster use a quick connect to connect the signal wire from the tach to the white wire on the guage cluster
How is the light bulb powered in a router circuit?
from a tap on a field coil
Can a special agent or supervisory special agent authorize a wire tap?
A special agent or supervisory special agent cannot authorize a wire tap as this must be done through a judge. Once the warrant for surveillance is issued, a wire tap can legally be put in place.
What is plain tap?
this used where the tap wire is under considerable tensile stress circuit
Why don't I Have no spark at the spark plug?
Faulty coil, or coil pack (depending on the vehicle). If your vehicle is quite old it might have a mechanical distributor (looks like a miniature milking machine with plug wires coming out of the top), and it will have a single coil (a cylindrical device with a spark plug-type wire connecting it to the center tap of the distributor). In most case, though, you will have a coil pack which might include rectangular "coils" in pairs.
What are the release dates for Danger - 1950 Wire Tap 5-28?

Wiring diagram for 2008 harley Davidson fxstc. I want to install a tach and do not know which of the four wires going into the coil to tap?
The Blue w/orange stripe wire is the front coil wire, where your signal comes from. Any orange w/white stripe wire is good for a power source with the key on. Black to any convenient black wire for your ground. Make sure all of your connections are good and solid, whether taps, pins or splices. Hook up your ground and power first and turn on your ignition switch to insure you have power before bolting everything down tight, do the same next with the signal wire, make your connection then fire up the bike and verify that your getting a good reading. At cold idle you should be around 1000 rpm. I don't have an fxstc, I own an '06 FLHR with carb, but the Harley wire color codes should be the same. Your blue/orange wire should be connected at your Ignition Control Module (Pin 6) if you have a carb and run to pin three on the coil connection. If an EFI bike, pin 29 on the ECM is the coils front, running to pin D at the coil connector. On EFI, there may also be a pink wire coming from pin 3 on the ECM. That is the tach signal if available. Either 3 or 29 from the ECM should provide a signal.

you just tap into the main wires with a wire tap that just clamps on then it will work
