And working out what the resonant capacitor should be.

I know it's been a while, but with other things going on in my life including serious anxiety issues I haven't had time to do videos. One day I'll finnish this project.

Anyway, so I thought it was about time to find out what value the resonant capacitor needs to be, this can be done by finding the primary's inductance and finding the secondary's resonant frequency, then plugging those numbers into an online calculator. Measuring the primary's inductance is simple enough, but for measuring the secondary's resonant frequency requires some simple electronics.
