One more subject.. Static spark gaps are triggered by some cosmic ray, radioactive particle, UV radiation or random ion floating by.. thus being slightly ...
It was noted in the suggested forum topics that a 100 kHz rotating spark gap is interesting to discuss. Building one of these seems to me to be fairly easy, so...
... First our list would need more than two users! ... A pair of wires is always a waveguide; no metal tubes needed. (Or in Tesla's case, a single wire is a...
... I think Jeff B. has been planning on building one. Jeff? These are the same "spark gap" techniques used in desktop coils actually sold by Tesla's...
Has anyone here seen this outfits work on 7(and more)-phase motor technology (among other things): http://www.borealis.gi/ They have locked in Delta Airlines...
This one's a first! If blankets do it, why not VDGs or Tesla coils? ... Last night I was in my son's bedroom pulling apart two polartec blankets. The...
Wow that is superexciting news! This will leave's us a chance to create a reliable experimental setup in which to study the phenomenon. In terms of theory, I...
Hello all, Its taken me a while to get around to introducing myself to the list. I wish to thank BillB for inviting me to join here some time ago! My interests...
If anyone has done a workup on what it would take (equipment, time, $, etc) to outfit a reasonable lab for recreating Tesla's experiments, I'd love to hear...
Occasionally i run across tidbits about teslas logic gating technology to create secure radio technology and high frequency circuits but i fail to find any...
... Actually this gets into the central Tesla conumdrum ...WHICH experiment's the critical one to replicate? If you choose the wrong one, you become just...
... I'm pretty sure it's his patent for the radio controlled boat. It has the boat circuitry in detail, and I've heard that the boat used logic gates so that...
I can build a Tesla Coil no problem, however I am trying to build one without resonance. Now I can understand for example, 10% coupling will take 10 cycles to...
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...
... 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...
... 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...
