Yes what you say sounds close to it. Are you running your drive circuit in attraction or repulsion mode? These motors certainly do have a resonant frequency...

Hi, my drive circuit for my motor is slight repulsion and what I mean by that is the pulse current is just enough to neutralised the sticking point, there is a...

Hi Richard, Great work, if you can get spark gaps to work they act as an amplifier to FE often if you have 2 spark gaps in series you gain even more. If you...

Hi Richard, thanks for joining in, the spark gaps you are using are they at the output or input, what sort of voltages are you driving your motor on?. Tesla...

Hi Colin, The star wheel was used to drive the coils directly but it is unsuitable for much current as heating occurs and you get burning of the edges of the...

Hi, Actually, Don Smith died some time ago. To get the high voltage down, you can use a second Tesla Coil in reverse as that drops the voltage and raises the...
