Hi Chris, Let me preface this by saying that time does nor permit me to engage in a long dialog on this. I'll briefly try to address some potential conceptual...
Hi Bert, Thanks for your reply. I will print out also read later. All the guy really said was discharge as many joules as fast as possible. Loose couple to...
OK Chris, If I get this right you are simply trying to create a very short pulse of high voltage output from a low voltage source. I will dispense with why...
Hi Fred, thanks for the reply, and the link, it looks like something I read a while ago, but will read it again.. what I was told sounds similar, to ramp up a...
... This mode of operation seems to crop up in Tesla's stuff, but I've never seen it discussed outright (or discussed by coilers, ever. It seems to be a...
Bill, Thanks for that info, I did not even know about the cone coils operating like that. The magnifier really confuses me. I can understand the driver section...
Chris, one thing important when dealing with information about Tesla and his work. There is a lot of good information out there but it's all jumbled with wacky...
Fred, If a large slow pulse was to create some effect, I doubt it would be anything us mortal people could cook up in our sheds. I have a lot of Tesla's...
I have a common problem with my design here. For example, I would presume a high current pulse is better. However in order to obtain a high current pulse, it...
I've never exactly understood this.. though if you link to SCR's in series (or mosfets), and they do not switch at exactly the same rates, then would this...
... Yes ... Worst case, the slower device would indeed see 100V. If it is only rated for 50V it will likely fail, followed in short order by the remaining ...
In a way its just like having a large zener across the IGBT to clamp to 1KV. It just seems a little "hit and miss" to me. I did talk to Terry a while ago...

... In resonance mode, voltage is stepped up via resonant rise, so in resonance mode, a magnifier is not much different than a 2-coil device. ... No, it would...
I was sitting in the hotel bar, so I got a blank piece of paper and wondered if I could come up with any cool random brainstorms. My subconscious should be...
See: http://vimeo.com/11441736 http://myinventionsthemovie.com/ Note: i've seen in various texts that Tesla mentions the "bulbs in the ground" being run by...
... Perhaps I'm the only one, but in the above source I recently noticed something I never saw before. Tesla specifically states that he was electrically...
Try this one! QM atom wave function: Spherical harmonics applet http://www.bpreid.com/poas.php If atomic orbitals are like waves on a sphere, well, so are the...
In this artist conception of one of Tesla's European lectures we see a very large diagram behind him: http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/nikola-tesla-1.jpg ...
... Oh no, I DIDN'T miss this. Cost me $280!!! (But with sale, was $202) ... Interesting ones: $10 Self-contained video viewfinder (add a cheap CCD camera =...
Been looking around, and haven't found much useful for working around certain design constraints. There's a few coils I'd like to plan out that it wouldn't...
... Hi Loren! The main Coilers' list is the best place for this. Info at http://www.pupman.com/, it's an email list forum. For info on the no-Neon-xfrmr...
