Creating the
Ideal Tesla Magnifier System
A detailed approach to designing a true Tesla magnifier with a
flat spiral / solenoid coil combination. Includes equations and a
graphical view of the total field power of the coil.
Trifilar Wound Flat
Spiral Secondary - as a Tesla secondary coil
This coil was wound with three parallel wires and joined at
the center of the coil. In these experiments the coil is wired as a
Tesla secondary with three leads.
Single Wound Flat Spiral Secondary - as a Tesla secondary coil
This coil is a single strand regular flat spiral wound
secondary. As is the case with all Tesla flat spiral coils I have used,
this coil design produces little to no heat in the transformer, coils,
capacitors or spark gap. The spark gap runs so quiet you can barely hear
it. And yet it still produces impressive voltages.
27" Single Wound Flat Spiral Secondary connected to a 50KV
potential transformer.
This is an ongoing experiment that induces 103 to 130V in the
secondary with no current flow in the primary.
Experiments in an
Attempt to Identify Longitudinal Waves
Reflecting on the nature of longitudinal waves, it occurred to
me that a flat spiral coil was not about creating voltage, but about creating
longitudinal waves. Without a need for voltage, there is no need for a
ground connection, so I operated the coil without the ground and got some
pretty interesting results.
Dynamics of a Flat
Spiral Secondary Coil
An earlier paper I wrote leading me to understand the dynamics
of a flat spiral secondary coil.
Tesla Magnifier - Flat Spiral
and Solenoid Secondary Combination Coil
Tesla's Wardencliffe project used a combination flat spiral
and solenoid secondary coil in its operation. This is a model of that
coil built with a 25" diameter flat spiral secondary and a 48" x
3.5" solenoid secondary coil. The results were unexpected.
