Tesla Coils: Unleash the Aether

Nikola Tesla's most significant contribution was not AC power, radio, or theinduction motor, but what we call the Tesla Coil - a tool which allows for the powerof the aether to be unleashed and harnessed. Now being launched through an opensource project.

The inventions of Nikola Tesla arenumerous. He invented radio,teleautomatics (remote controltechnology), poly-phase alternatingcurrent, the induction motor, and manyother innovations that established thefoundation for our modern civilization.However, the true significance of hisgreatest discovery - the "Tesla Coil" -goes mostly unrecognized. This toolprovides a way for humanity to tap intothe wheelwork of our universe--whatmany describe as the "aether."

There are many misconceptions aboutTesla coils and their intended use. Thelight shows that can be produced bythem are spectacular, but these stunningvisual displays have little to do withtheir true function and capabilities. Inaddition, many people consider them asnothing more than high voltagetransformers. But a Tesla coil is not aconventional transformer and does notutilize magnetic induction.

Tesla coils have capabilities beyond even

the highest voltage transformers of ourday, because they are something fardifferent. Their emissions of longitudinalimpulses can exceed the speed of light,can penetrate all known materials(including Faraday cages), travel greatdistances without their intensitydiminishing, power remote devices, andallow for "overunity" gains of energy.

Radiant Blasts

When an electrical switch in an electricalcircuit is opened or closed, a spark ofhigh voltage can be created. In Tesla'sday, engineers and workmen had to bevery careful of this phenomenon whenworking with high voltage DCgenerators. A sudden closure of a circuitbeing powered from a dynamo capableof generating a few thousand Watts,could produce electrical discharges ofseveral hundred thousand volts. Thesedischarges were often fatal to those whowere exposed to them. Thisphenomenon interested Tesla, and he began to research what he called, "disruptivedischarges."

In his lab, Tesla would utilize a dynamo to produce very quick pulses of high voltagedirect current. He noticed these pulses could completely vaporize thin wires. Inaddition, these pulses could produce what seemed like pressure waves that wouldinduce stinging sensations. At first he thought these blasts waves were composed oftiny particles of the vaporized metal. This possibility was ruled out when he noticednothing could shield them, including glass or even copper sheets. If these were highspeed particles of some sort the glass should have shielded him from them, and ifthey were purely electrical the metal should have blocked them. However, theypenetrated any barrier!

He continued testing with larger wires, faster pulses, and with higher voltages.Before long, he started to gain an understanding of the variables that controlled theintensity of these disruptive discharges. Eventually, he did away with the wire andutilized a simple spark gap. By increasing the voltage from the dynamo andshortening the length of the pulses he could make these discharges much morepowerful. He could feel them from all the way across the room!

Many more variables came into play. By adding one or more capacitors (he calledthem condensers) between the dynamo and spark gap, he could intensity the effect.Additionally, he was able to prevent a "back rush" of current across the spark gapwith a variety of techniques. This was important because any flow of current reducedthe maximum intensity of the disruptive discharge. As one example, he used amagnet to rapidly quench or magnetically "blow out" the arc across the electrodes toprevent such current flow. He could also use this system to increase the frequency ofhis discharges. In other setups, he put the spark gap in oil with a high dielectric valueor had heated air flow through the spark gap. There were benefits and drawbacks toeach method.

Decoupling Aether and Electron Current

A very interesting effect was creating these powerful discharges. When the highvoltage input jumped across the spark gap the conducting material's resistancecreated a delay that would prevent current (electron flow) from instantly flowing.With sufficiently rapid pulses, current could be completely prevented from flowingin the conductive material. This would produce a decoupling of the current andvoltage. The pure voltage potential became untangled or unbounded from thecurrent, and would produce a shock wave that would move out in all directionsnominally perpendicular to the spark gap.

It is theorized by many that electrical voltage is in fact a form of "aether" bonded tothe current flow in a conductive material. The aether was thought to be a gaseousatmosphere of tiny (potentially much smaller and less massive than the electron),energetic (traveling at speeds faster than the speed of light), and penetrating (capableof traveling through solid matter) that fills our universe. Tesla and other men ofscience considered the aether to be the medium in which electromagnetic waves flow.Some individuals theorized it could be the true source of gravity, what producesradioactive decay in elements, and the fundamental "stuff" of which all matter in theuniverse is composed.

Tesla's disruptive discharges produced longitudinal waves in the aether. Unliketransverse waves that vary in amplitude up and down, longitudinal waves onlymove in the direction of propagation. They could be described as a series ofcompressions and rarefactions in the atmosphere of aether. These longitudinal wavesare sometimes called, "scalar waves." However, this is not a precisely correctdescription. Technically, the term "scalar" describes a constant value that does notchange. A longitudinal wave is periodically expanding and contracting in thedirection of propagation, so this term does not fit. Despite the inconsistency, theterms "scalar wave" and "longitudinal wave" are used interchangeably by many.

Safety Enhancements

Over the course of his investigations, Tesla realized that the duration and frequencyof his pulses were of tremendous importance in terms of safety. Slower rates of thesedischarges would produce stinging and painful effects. Moderate rates of dischargeseliminated the stinging, but could produce a thermal sensation. If properlycontrolled, this thermal sensation would not burn, but could actually be pleasant andtherapeutic. At very high rates of discharges the stinging and thermal effect vanished.A physical "pressure" could still be felt from the area around the spark gap, butsensations of needles or heat were gone.

At these high rates of pulsing, the visual arcs and streamers of pure voltage from hisdevice were actually safe to interact with (at least that is what he concluded). In manyexperiments and demonstrations, he allowed these pulses of purified aether to flowacross his body. No detectable harm came to him when utilizing these highfrequencies. This energy could flow through him and power light bulbs. If traditionalcurrent had been flowing he would have been killed, but this flow of energy wastruly something unique.

Tesla was still utilizing high voltage dynamos and spark gaps which were an obvioussafety concern. The electrical energy running through them could easily electrocute aperson. He took great care during his testing and experiments to avoid accidents.Anyone trying to replicate Tesla's work or experiments should be aware of thedangerous electrical forces involved. Although at certain high pulse rates the radiantenergy produced was relatively harmless, the setups to create the discharges werestill potentially lethal.

Continual Development

These disruptive discharges emitting longitudinal waves in the aether could producemany unique effects. Tesla could power a light bulb by connecting it to his devicewith a single thin wire or sometimes in combination with a metal plate. In addition,when placing a plate of metal close to the discharges from the spark gap, he could seeelectrical arcs and streamers dancing on it. He could also hold a capacitor inproximity to the spark gap and charge it to a very high capacity. In fact, he couldcharge them until their capacity was exceeded and an explosion would occur.Considering all of these effects, he realized this technology would allow for thewireless transmission of power.

By this time, Tesla had already succeeded in developing conventional poly-phasealternating current transmission systems. They were being implemented in areassuch as those near the Niagara Falls power station, where he designed the generatorsthat converted the energy of the falling water into electricity. He felt that a wirelesstransmission system could exceed his previous accomplishment.

During interviews and in his writings, Tesla described how his new discoveries couldbe used to power the entire world. To accomplish this, he would need to improve histechnology even further. There were still additional optimizations that could bemade.

One of these improvements was the design of what we would today call a "TeslaCoil." He designed and patented a setup in which the "disruptive discharges" flowedacross the surface of two bars of a conductor. This was the "primary" of the setup.These bars would wrap loosely (only a few turns) around a "secondary" coil thatwould be positioned inside the diameter of the primary. This "secondary" wascomposed of a flat "pancake" style core of many more turns than the primary. Thewire used in the secondary was much thinner than in the primary. He matched thetotal weight of the primary and secondary windings so the two would be in a state ofresonance. One end of the secondary could be grounded and the other end of thesecondary would rise above the coil.

The impulses from his spark gap would flow over the surface of the primary andthen across the windings of the secondary. In doing so, the voltage would climbtremendously. Huge discharges would appear at the end of the secondary wire. Thealready magnified voltage produced by the disruptive discharge was being increased

even more! Somehow the longitudinal waves or impulses of "aether" wereconcentrating on the surface of the secondary windings and magnifying or focusingthemselves.

Gerry Vassilatos, author of "Lost Science" and "Secrets of Cold War Technology"(both of which are excellent sources of information on Tesla's aether technology)stresses that although Tesla's system increased the output voltage, it was not inanyway a conventional transformer. He describes it as a system using electrostaticinduction. Gerry and other researchers have made many valid distinctions betweenTesla's system and a traditional transformer.

There was no current flowing through his primary and secondary of his setup.Tesla made great efforts to prevent such electron flow. Traditional transformersabsolutely require electron flow.Due to the fact there was no electron flow there was no magnetic induction,which is the principle by which transformers operate. The primary and secondary of his setup were loosely coupled, in that there wasa significant space filled with air between his primary and secondary coils. Theprimary and secondaries in traditional transformers are usually tightly coupledfor efficient operation. Tesla coils can be made of non-conductive materials. This eliminates thepossibility of any conventional transformer effect utilizing magnetic induction. The flow of voltage or aether would not follow the path of least electricalresistance. This should be the case if current was actually in the circuit andelectrons were moving. However, the radiant impulses of Tesla's system wouldignore almost zero resistance shorts to flow across higher resistance paths acrossresistive elements such as light bulbs. An example of this is Tesla's "hairpin"circuit.

Getting Ready for Broadcasting

Tesla continued to prepare for his global power broadcasting system by furtherdeveloping his technology. For example, he discovered by placing a roundconductive sphere on the elevated end of the secondary winding the impulses weremagnified and more evenly broadcast. Another improvement was made by addingadditional coils to the secondary or changing the shape of the secondary coil. In onesetup, above the "pancake" portion of the secondary was an additional coil in theshape of a solenoid. One of his most effective secondary shapes was that of the cone.

It provided a tremendous increase in voltage.

The shapes of his coils were not the only improvements he tested. He would place thesecondary of a system in liquified air which super-cooled the copper winding. Forsome reason, this amplified the voltage increasing effect without inducing anunwanted current (electron) flow. By utilizing combinations of these methods he wasable to produce gigantic outputs of several million volts.

Of course to broadcast power it had to be received. He designed a variety ofreceivers. Some of these receivers were composed of metallic plates. When thelongitudinal waves impacted them a current would be induced that could powerlights or motors. Tesla actually discovered that he could focus the output of hisdevice into a narrow beam utilizing a special tube. This allowed him to specificallydirect the longitudinal waves in the aether at target plates. Interestingly, after such abeam had been active for an extended period of time, he could turn off his apparatus,but the flow of aether would remain. He could place another receiver in the path ofthe beam and power light bulbs without the device being turned on!

Apparently, the aether has a property that allows for a sort of momentum toaccumulate. Once the aether is flowing or pulsing it starts to build up an inertia or aself sustaining effect. In many tests, his systems would continue transmitting powerafter his apparatus was cut off from input power. Additionally, sometimes anilluminating glow around his setups would continually grow and expand. Thishappened around his giant transmitter towers in Colorado and New York. Thelonger he left his transmitters on, the further the column of light would expand. Inone experiment, he connected his transmitter to a balloon and allowed it to float inthe sky. Over a period of time, the glow that originally followed the line to theballoon expanded and illuminated the entire area.

Tesla also realized if he built receivers composed of similarly designed coil setups,they could resonate with the broadcasting unit. This condition resulted in morepower being "received" by these units from the transmitter and/or allowed them tocollect the longitudinal waves and magnifying them once again. Hence, a gain ofenergy from "aether" may be experienced both in the transmitter and receiver coils. Inthe receiver, what would normally be the inner coil of thin wire becomes the primary.The longitudinal waves then flow out to the thicker copper windings, and then intoloads connected across them. They could then power light bulbs, motors, or otherdevices.

He was able to transmit large amounts of power to receiver units over many miles ofdistance. In one experiment, he powered a small building full of one hundred wattlight bulbs from a distance of over twenty seven miles. Motors and heating elementswere also powered.

Tesla's Final Years

This technology was the focus of Tesla's final decades of life. He considered it hisgreatest accomplishment. Everything before had been trivial compared to thepotential of his new wireless energy broadcasting system.

As history records, the powers that be fought against his efforts to commercialize thetechnology. His main laboratory in New York was burned down, and funding for theWardenclyffe tower was cut. Later, the Wardenclyffe tower was destroyed alltogether. The power barons of his day did not like the idea of free energy beingbeamed across the world. They wanted to sell metered power to increase theirearnings and wealth. Tesla's system was a threat to their financial empires.

Tesla gradually moved away from large scale transmission systems and worked onsmaller units. Eventually, he designed a small device that he claimed collected energyfrom the, "aether all around us." He connected the small box to a Pierce Arrowmodified to use an electric motor and announced, "Now we have power." The vehiclezipped around at high speeds of up to ninety miles an hour!

For reasons not quite understood, the technology that powered the Pierce Arrow wasnever commercialized. We do not know if it was directly suppressed, if he wassimply not able to get the funding to mass produce it, if he chose to keep thetechnology to himself, or if some other event transpired. To this day, little is knownabout the small box other than a few brief words on the electrical components itutilized.

Sadly, Tesla died alone and poverty stricken in a small hotel room in New York City.The mayor at the time made a radio address in honor of his life, inventions, andcontributions to modern civilization.

Wondrous Properties of Tesla Coils

Tesla demonstrated many amazing properties of his coil setups, but now others havedone the same. Numerous individuals have built and successfully replicated theeffects he was able to produce. A few of these individuals are Eric Dollard, SteveJackson, and Konstantin Meyl. They have verified the stunning effects and propertiesof these systems that Tesla demonstrated so long ago.

Let's review these stunning properties.

1) The coils of a "Tesla coil" amplify the voltage from the "disruptive discharge." Thefinal voltage at the ends of the secondary can be thousands of times larger than thevoltage of the input (for example from a dynamo). This takes place in a setup withloose coupling between primary and secondary, and without magnetic inductionsince no electron flow (at least in an optimized system) is taking place.

2) The longitudinal waves of aether (voltage potential decoupled from electron flow)can be broadcast to power devices such as motors, lights, and heaters over very largedistances. They can also remotely charge capacitors at a distance.

3) These longitudinal waves to not diminish exponentially with distance. They do notdiminish in strength according to the inverse square law that governs ordinarytransverse waves. For example, if the distance between a Tesla transmitter andreceiver is doubled the power output of the receiver does not drop by a squaredfunction. In the worst case, it will barely drop at all. In the best case, (if thetransmitter and receiver are kept at resonance) the output of the receiver can stay thesame over extreme distances or increase.

4) These longitudinal waves can penetrate any barrier including insulators orconductors. They can transmit information and power directly through Faradaycages and solid metal containers. This is not possible with transverse waves.

5) Amazingly, longitudinal waves seem to have some sort of momentum. Once a flowof longitudinal waves has been established it seems like the same flow wants tocontinue. Perhaps a good description would be that these waves are "self re-enforcing." These waves of aether seem to collect energy from the surroundingaether.

6) Longitudinal waves can travel at superluminal speeds.

Perhaps most importantly....

7) Tesla coils produce overunity gains of energy in multiple ways!

Overunity Energy Gains

It is possible to obtain free energy (or actually energy extracted from the aether) withTesla coils. These gains of energy are fairly simple to reproduce and have beendemonstrated repeatedly. Konstantin Meyl has built and tested numerous suchsystems that demonstrate "overunity" gains of energy. However, these gains ofenergy manifest in many ways. Let's explore them!

The first way a Tesla coil produces a gain of energy, is the obvious increase in voltageproduced by the disruptive discharge. A certain quantity of voltage is pulsed acrossthe spark gap. This produces a blast of longitudinal waves that is far higher involtage than what was capable of being produced by the dynamo or capacitors thatprovided the input.

A second way a Tesla coil produces a gain of energy is the increase in voltage as thelongitudinal waves or "aether" flows across the secondary windings. As it flowsacross the secondary, voltage increases to extremely high levels. In this step, the"gain" of the system is further increased. This voltage increase is taking place withoutany magnetic induction or conventional transformer effect.

The third way a Tesla coil produces a gain of energy is during the broadcast oflongitudinal waves. As Tesla demonstrated, longitudinal waves have a self-sustaining or moment effect. Flows of aether seem to gain strength as they travel andwant to continue even when the input of a system is cut off. As the waves travelbetween the transmitter and receiver they may increase in power.

The fourth way a Tesla coil can produce a gain of energy, is when a receiver is inresonance with a transmitter. In this situation a receiver can collect longitudinalwaves and allow them to magnify themselves as they flow over the inner coil. In asense, a receiver is not only "receiving" power from the transmitter, but is alsoamplifying that power. This produces an even larger gain of energy.

Many overunity technologies are emerging in our current age, but Tesla's technologyrepresented a simple and straightforward way to produce gains of energy over ahundred years ago. Just imagine the potential of his technology when combined with

modern material science, electronic components, and micro-processor controls. Thepotential of the technology is limitless.

Potential of Tesla Coils and Aetheric Technology

The potential capabilities of Tesla coils are almost limitless. They are a source of freeenergy, allow for superluminal communication, allow for wireless transfer of power,and are speculated to be capable of even more exotic feats. Nikola Tesla proposedusing such systems to produce force fields to protect cities from enemy attack. Heeven suggested medical applications for the technology. In fact, he mentioned how ifsomeone could manipulate the aether, gravity manipulation could be possible!

Mastering and cracking the mystery of the aether can substantially help us tounderstand how our universe truly works. When that is accomplished, our wildestdreams have the potential to become reality. The stuff of science fiction could becomeabsolute reality.

Perhaps when other civilizations beyond our planet recognize we havemastered this technology, open contact will be made. No wonder weappear to have so many visitors from other realms. Perhaps thepreferred method of communication across the vast distances of space is

not via the transmission of slow transverse waves, but by faster than lightlongitudinal impulses in the aether. Maybe this technology could give SETI (thesearch for extraterrestrial intelligence) a new tool by which to "tune in" to theuniverse (that is if SETI isn't just a window dressing operation to make us feel likewe're at least trying when in fact the black ops have had the real technology fordecades).

Due to modern technology, building a Tesla coil is simpler, easier, and safer than everbefore. Instead of using potentially dangerous high voltage dynamos and spark gaps,solid state function generators can be used. The same effects can be demonstratedwith these lower power systems that use a few volts instead of thousands to millionsof volts. Advanced electronic tools such as oscilloscopes can allow for more preciseobservations of the impulses generated and received. There is no excuse for modernday scientists, engineers, technology enthusiasts, and even garage tinkerers not todevelop this technology.

This field is wide open. Further development and enhancement of this technology,

perhaps even beyond the dreams of Tesla, is certainly possible. All it will take is forpeople to recognize its significance and get to work producing replications, findingapplications, and designing products. Tesla spent most of the last half of his lifeworking on perfecting this technology. With the wonderful possibilities it has tooffer, it is easy to understand his dedication and obsession. Who among us will stepup and continue the work he started?

Open Source

Steve Jackson in coordination with PES Network is launching an open source projectthat will offer plans, instructions, and kits to help with such replication efforts. Thisopen source project will allow anyone with even a modest degree of technical knowhow (who can follow written instructions) to reproduce Tesla's power broadcastingtechnology.

Let's get serious about developing the potential of Tesla Coils so we can harness thepower of the aether and all its auxiliary capabilities including harnessing of aethericenergy, superluminal communication, wireless transmission of power through anybarrier, anti-gravity capabilities, and creating defensive shields to make conventionalwar obsolete!

A Few Comments from Jackson

On April 19, 2011 5:52 PM Mountain, Steve Jackson provided the following thoughts:

How does Mother Earth, the largest terrestrial consumer of energy, do herwork? What powers her wheel-works? Can we tap into the same energy source?Tesla knew how. Hugo Gernsback published all sorts of novel physics in "Radio Electronics" inthe 60's. [Hank Mills is] continuing a great tradition of American publishing. [Hank] should read a bit of Meyl's "Scalar Waves" book. Meyl's concept ofneutrinos heating the core of the earth and creating the new mass that forcesapart the continents is a wonderful model for the free energy researchers. It's time to banish the "Action at a Distance" physics theories. Forces aretransmitted via the aether medium. Faraday, Maxwell, Tesla, et al "knew" this tobe true. Speculation: This electrical physics is known to weapons designers, but is notpermitted for civilian use? Is this why Academics do not go there? Meyl is the Black Forest Copernicus! Deserves a Nobel!Meyl has developed the necessary enhancement to Maxwell;s Equations. ( -v divB)Meyl favors the "aether vortex" explanation as a physical model for these effects.I think he is correct in this. Magnets are said to be aether pumps.

Are you interested in building a Tesla Coil to produce stunning effects that violatethe "established" laws of physics, but are somewhat less than technically savvy thana rocket scientist? Then you are in luck, because this article is for you!

by Hank Mills Pure Energy Systems News

WARNING

Tesla Coil construction can be dangerous. This is especially true when building,testing, or operating higher powered systems. Life threatening electric shocks andburns can take place if proper safety precautions are not taken. Possible damage tothe eyes is possible if someone stares into a powerful spark gap for a long period oftime. Some setups (especially those that use spark gaps) can be very loud and couldpotentially cause hearing loss after extended exposure. Ozone can also be created bythese systems. Tesla coils can also create other health and safety hazards. In addition,improper use of Tesla Coils can damage home wiring and electrical equipment,presenting a fire hazard.

If this document inspires you to build a Tesla Coil please realize your life and safetyis your responsibility. PESN and myself do not accept any responsibility or liability.Also, please realize this document is not all-inclusive, so before attempting to build aTesla Coil, please perform your own due diligence when it comes to researching allsafety measures that need to be taken and implementing them.

Introduction

More and more people are becoming interested in Tesla Coils these days. This makessense, because there are many reasons to be fascinated with them. These systems can

produce "longitudinal" impulses that can transmit power and information throughsolid metal containers (Faraday cages), travel long distances without any drop ofintensity, and produce "overunity" gains of energy. With a simple set of Tesla Coils,you can perform experiments that will perplex even the most skeptical folks you mayrun into!

To be clear, these exotic properties of Tesla Coils are not myth, but established factsthat have been replicated countless times by researchers, engineers, and scientistsaround the world. One such scientist is Prof. Konstantin Meyl from the University ofApplied Sciences in Furtwangen, Germany. He has experimentally confirmed theabove mentioned properties of Tesla Coils, and has demonstrated his setups manytimes. Additionally, he has published a number of books and papers detailing howthey work. Another researcher in the field of Tesla Coils is Eric Dollard, an absoluteexpert in the fields of electronics, antenna design, and radio. He built many systemsutilizing Tesla's technology, and has verified Tesla's claims.

You do not have to be a genius to build a Tesla Coil. They are fairly simple devices.What is required is the willingness to do research, the ability to learn, and thecommon sense to take all proper safety measures. Safety must always be a priority!

The purpose of this document is to give an overview of Tesla Coils, their components,their construction, and their special properties. A special emphasis will be placed onSteve Jackson's Tesla Coil plans that have been open sourced at PESWiki. By the timeyou have finished reading this document, it is hoped you will have a very good ideaabout what is involved in building a Tesla Coil

What is a Tesla Coil?

Over a hundred years ago, Nikola Tesla discovered that when a high voltage circuitis opened or closed, a brief pulse of high voltage is created. In his age, these pulses ofhigh voltage were killing linemen and technicians who were working on earlyelectrical transmission systems. He also noticed that these pulses of high voltagecreated discharges of "something" that could be felt on the skin. At first he thoughtthese discharges could be tiny particles of physical matter, because in some of hisexperiments he vaporized thin wires with these high voltage pulses. However, ifthese discharges were composed of matter, a physical barrier should stop them; butno such barrier could stop them. Next, he thought that these discharges were of anelectrical nature. However, even a shield composed of a conductive metal would not

stop them. He concluded these discharges or impulses were truly unique.

Before long, Tesla went from simply opening and closing a high voltage circuit toallowing a high voltage to cross a gap between two electrodes. Eventually, heproduced a system where these impulses flowed across the surface of two stout barsof copper. By placing light bulbs between these bars he could make them illuminatewithout any wires. He noted many other interesting effects in his lectures and notes.

Tesla concluded that these impulses attracted by and flowing over the surface of thecopper bars, were a pure type of voltage decoupled from electron flow or "current."In his opinion, voltage in an electrical circuit was a form of compressed "aether." Theaether is considered to be an atmosphere of very tiny (smaller than an electron), veryenergetic (traveling faster than light), and penetrating (capable of moving throughmatter) fundamental particles. These particles of aether not only fill the vacuum, butalso compose the elementary particles found in atoms.

The final step that resulted in the creation of what we call a "Tesla Coil" was theplacement of a flat spiral coil of wire between the two bars of copper. The two bars ofcopper became a "primary" and the additional coil was considered the "secondary."The high voltage produced by the spark gap would flow up the primary, and then beincreased to an even higher voltage by the secondary. He would connect one end ofthe secondary winding to a ground and the other end to a sphere elevated above thesetup. The "Tesla Coil" was born!

Over the years, Tesla would improve and add to this setup. He used it to transmitinformation and power over long distances. In addition, he could transmit throughany barrier, including Faraday cages! Although additional Tesla Coils werefrequently used to "receive" power and information, they were not always required.He devised systems in which the output of a Tesla coil could be channeled into a tubewhich would produce a laser like "ray" of aether. When this ray hit certain electricalconductors, electrical current could be generated. This electrical current could then beused to power lights, motors, heaters, etc.

Not a Transformer

Despite the fact a Tesla coil utilizes a "primary" and a "secondary", a Tesla Coil isNOT a transformer. This is a fundamental and important distinction that must bemade! If it was a transformer, none of the astounding effects it produces could be

possible.

First of all, a transformer utilizes a *tight* coupling of magnetic fields to manipulatevoltage (volts) and current (amperes). A Tesla Coil is very different, in that thewindings of the primary do not have to be extremely close to the secondary coil. Infact, Tesla incorporated a significant gap between the primary and secondary coils.This represents a very loose coupling.

Secondly, the secondary coil of a Tesla Coil is "open" and not "closed." In aconventional transformer the primary and secondary coils must both be "closed" forany effect to take place. If a winding in a transformer is open, then no current canflow through it, no magnetic field can be produced by it, and no coupling can existbetween the primary and secondary! The transformer is completely non-functionalwith an open coil. Conversely, a Tesla Coil is designed to utilize an "open" secondary.One end of the secondary is connected to the ground and the other end is connectedto an elevated sphere. The ends are not physically connected. No closed circuit forelectron flow is present!

Third, conventional current or amperes (electron flow) does not flow through a TeslaCoil. Tesla measured this, and determined it to be the case. The electron flow cannotkeep up with the massive build up of voltage passing over the conductive material.Voltage is continually increased without any conventional transformer effect makingit happen. The fact that no current flows can be proven beyond any doubt bybuilding a Tesla Coil out of glass tubes which provide a wave guide effect, but arecompletely non-conductive.

Basic Tesla Coil Components and Design

There are many plans for Tesla Coils on the internet. Many of them are high poweredand utilize a spark gap like Tesla's system. A few of them (such as Steve Jackson'sopen source plans) do not utilize a spark gap, but use solid state components. Later inthis article I will discuss Jackson's plans. For now, I will try to describe a more typicalsystem.

A Tesla Coil setup needs a power source. Tesla and many "coilers" today utilize highvoltage transformers. Many folks track down older neon sign transformers or"ignition coil transformers" to produce the high voltage they need. Thesetransformers convert the fairly low voltage of mains power (120 volts) into high

voltage (many thousands of volts). Although these high voltages can allow for veryhigh powered setups, they also present safety risks. They must be used with care.

There are lots of high voltage transformers that can be used as the first stage in aTesla Coil, but please research each possibility before making any purchase. Forexample, some types of transformers such as ignition coils may require a specialmethod of limiting input current to be utilized. Otherwise, they could burn upquickly, start a fire, and destroy the wiring in your home. Additionally, older andnewer transformers (even those built for the same purpose) can have importantdifferences. Some older ignition coil transformers can be used for extended periods ata time, while some newer ones can only be used for limited periods.

Capacitors

The next step is connecting one or more of the high voltage transformers to one ormore capacitors. A capacitor is a device used to store and release electrical charge. Ina very simple form, it can be composed of two plates of conductive material with aplate of insulating material (dielectric) in the middle. When a difference in voltage isplaced across the two conductive plates a charge is built up between them. Thischarge can be released to power a load; or in our case, produce a spark between twoelectrodes.

There are all sorts of capacitors out there. It can be difficult to figure out exactly whatyou need. This is another example of when it makes sense to contact someone whohas previously built Tesla coils and/or review the plans on the internet that havealready been used to build successful systems. For example, is important to match thespecifications of your capacitor to the specifications of your transformer. Thetransformer is being used to charge up the capacitors, and you do not want todamage them!

Capacitors can actually be made yourself. There are plans on the internet that explainhow to build home made Leyden Jars (the earliest form of capacitor) that can be usedin a Tesla Coil setup. Nikola Tesla built some of his capacitors in a similar manner!

The Gap, Electrodes, and Quenching

After obtaining the proper transformers and capacitors (some circuits require only

one of each, and others require a pair of each) the spark gap needs to be designed.This is where the action begins! The gap represents an insulative barrier for the highvoltage released from the capacitors to cross. An increased length of gap represents amore insulated barrier that requires a higher voltage. A reduced length of gapbetween the two electrodes represents a decrease of insulation that allows lessvoltage to be applied. You will have to vary the length of your gap to find thedistance that matches the amount of input voltage from your capacitors.

The material that composes your electrodes is also important. Copper electrodesseemed to produce qualities that polluted the "purity" of the aether radiated from thegap. Eventually, Tesla started using carbon and other materials for his electrodesinstead of copper.

When the spark crosses the gap between electrodes, energy from the capacitors ispushed into the primary. This energy can try to flow back and bounce back andfourth between the electrodes. Just like the giant sparks produced by some TeslaCoils, this is a waste of energy. To reduce this loss mechanism, Nikola Tesla wouldutilize methods to "quench" the spark between electrodes. These methods ofquenching would allow the energy to pass between the electrodes, but would notallow it to flow in reverse. There are many ways of accomplishing this. One way is byallowing a stream of air to flow between the electrodes to removed the ionized gasmolecules. Another method is by placing a magnetic field from a permanent orelectromagnet between the two electrodes. Tesla also placed his electrodes in varioustypes of oil or other liquids.

Primary and Secondary Coils

The primary coil needs to be connected to the circuit that powers the spark gap. Insome setups, the ends of the primary coil are connected to the capacitors of thecircuit. How the primary coil is connected will be different depending upon theconstruction of your setup.

The function of the primary coil is to guide the pure voltage (unbound from thecurrent or electron flow), aether, or longitudinal waves along it's surface and thenresonate with the secondary. Resonance is a phenomenon in which energy transfer ismaximized if each impulse of energy is properly timed. For example, considerpushing a child on a swing. If you push at the proper moment it's easy to make theswing go very high. However, if you push at random times it can be very difficult.

The same basic concept applies here.

Resonance between a primary and a secondary in a Tesla Coil is a function of manyvariables. Two of these variables include the physical length of the primary andsecondary windings, and the frequency at which the primary is pulsed. There aremathematical equations that can allow you to calculate these factors ahead of time.With this information you could design a setup that will resonate at a specificfrequency. Otherwise, you would have to experiment to determine at what frequencyyour primary and secondary resonate. You may or may not be able to achieve thisfrequency with your setup. At resonance, the voltage from the secondary will peakand when completely out of resonance it will drop tremendously.

As already mentioned, to transmit power, Tesla often utilized a second Tesla Coil asreceiver to collect it. For power to be efficiently transmitted, the receiver needed to bein resonance with the receiver. One way of accomplishing this is by making thereceiver an exact copy of the transmitter. This can simplify the process. However,receivers and transmitters of different sizes can resonate with each other. Modern daytesting has proven this, similar to how certain notes resonate musically. This is anarea that needs further research and testing!

Another factor Nikola Tesla discovered was that the mass of the primary andsecondary coils work best if identical. This would result in a thick and largerdiameter wire being used for the primary, and a thinner or smaller diameter wirebeing used for the secondary. When matching the mass of the wire he would producethe best results. Today, many people think that the actual wire mass does not need tomatch, but the surface area of the primary and secondary windings need to be thesame. [Editor's note: these relationships will probably be shown to work in harmonicpatterns similar to music, and that exact matches are not the key, but harmonicpairing is.]

Bifilar Wound Secondary

An interesting issue to consider is whether to use a single wire wound or a bifilar(two wire) wound secondary coil. You can see a bifilar wound secondary in one ofTesla's patents here. He determined that a bifilar wound secondary would allow for amuch more rapid increase in voltage. Modern experimenters have determined abifilar wound secondary allow for an exponential increase in voltage while a singlewire wound secondary only allows for a linear increase. Here is a quote from his

patent:

"Let A, Figure 1, designate any given coil the spires or convolutions ofwhich are wound upon and insulated from each other. Let it be assumedthat the terminals of this coil show a potential difference of one hundredvolts, and that there are one thousand convolutions; then considering anytwo contiguous points on adjacent convolutions let it be assumed that therewill exist between them a potential difference of one-tenth of a volt. If now,as shown in Figure 2, a conductor B be wound parallel with the conductorA and insulated from it, and the end of A be connected with the startingpoint of B, the aggregate length of the two conductors being such that theassumed number of convolutions or turns is the same, viz., one thousand,then the potential difference between any two points in A and B will befifty volts, and as the capacity effect is proportionate to the square of thisdifference, the energy stored in the coil as a whole will now be twohundred and fifty thousand as great. Following out this principle, I maywind any given coil either in whole or in part, not only in the specificmanner herein illustrated, but in a great variety of ways, well-known in theart, so as to secure between adjacent convolutions such potential differenceas will give the proper capacity to neutralize the self-induction for anygiven current that may be employed. Capacity secured in this particularway possesses an additional advantage in that it is evenly distributed, aconsideration of the greatest importance in many cases, and the results,both as to efficiency and economy, are the more readily and easily obtainedas the size of the coils, the potential difference, or frequency of the currentsare increased."

The "Extra Coil"

In addition to the secondary winding, Tesla sometimes employed an additional coil.This coil would be positioned in series between the secondary and the elevatedsphere. It is usually wound not as a flat pancake like the secondary, but often as asolenoid. There is a lot of speculation as to why exactly he utilized this extra coil, butthe consensus is that it was important. Although a Tesla Coil can function andproduce truly anomalous effects without one, such an extra coil allows for an evenlarger increase in voltage.

If the primary and secondary have a loose coupling, the "extra coil" has almost zerocoupling with the primary or secondary. As the longitudinal waves of aether of flowacross the windings the voltage increases even more. By this stage, any tiny quantityof conventional current flow that may have existed in the circuit is removed. Only apure longitudinal flow of aether remains that is focused or enhanced by this coil.

In at least a few of his tests, the "extra coil" was wound in the shape of a cone. Thisshape is claimed by many experts to be the most optimum. It can produce hugeincreases in voltage, which is of course what we want! The more aether from theenvironment we can tap into with this system the more power it can produce ortransmit (or waste in the form of giant sparks or "streamers.")

Spheres and Grounds

Tesla determined that many benefits could be produced by adding a sphere to thevery top end of the secondary wire. One of these benefits was the prevention ofsparks and streamers which waste energy. The sharp tip of the wire could easilyproduce such streamers, but by utilizing the smooth surface of a sphere suchbeautiful displays were prevented. Hence, losses were minimized and more powercould be transmitted.

Just adding any sphere was not enough. Tesla determined that even a metal sphere atextremely high voltages could produce streamers, sparks, and even "darts" of energy.He learned that by coating the sphere in an insulator such as wax, these losses couldbe reduced even more. Eventually, he found that by using a carbon shell as a sphere,the losses could be reduced dramatically. Glass globes filled with different inert gases(or vacuum) were also tested and found to help prevent the loss of energy.

The sphere (regardless of the material it was constructed from) also served to evenlydistribute the transmissions of the system. Instead of the emissions having somedirectional component, they were emitted in all directions. This was important,because he wanted to power the entire world with such a power broadcastingsystem!

In addition to the sphere, he connected the bottom portion of the secondary to a"ground." Quite often, he used the Earth itself as a ground. Since he considered theEarth to be a giant reserve of aetheric energy, it could have been attempting to tap

into it to make his transmissions that much more powerful. This seems to be the case,because receiver units with a ground collected more energy than those without one.Tesla seemed to be broadcasting energy both through the air and through the Earth.By tuning into both broadcasts, a receiver could become more efficient!

Shattering Physics

With a set of Tesla Coils (one transmitter and one or more receivers) you can producemany effects that are considered to be "impossible" by mainstream science. Forexample, you can put a transmitter in a metal box (Faraday cage) and a receiver inanother metal box. Modern science would claim no transmission could be madebetween the two. However, it has been demonstrated repeatedly that the longitudinal(non-transverse) waves emitted by the transmitter can penetrate any material. In thiscase, power would be transmitted directly through the metal boxes!

Another interesting feature of a Tesla Coil based power transmission system is thatthe signal does not weaken over distance. This is far different than transverse wavesweaken rapidly over distance, due to the inverse square law. However, the powertransmitted between two Tesla Coils can remain constant regardless of distance! Thistransfer of power without losses will continue, regardless of distance between theunits, as long as the transmitter and receiver stay in resonance.

Longitudinal waves can also travel at superluminal speeds. This has been tested bymultiple scientists and researchers. The exact speeds measured vary. Someresearchers claim the speed is almost infinite and others claim 1.5 times the speed oflight. Probably, the speed of longitudinal waves of aether depends on the "pureness"of the impulse. If it contains any transverse components, it probably does not travelat a near infinite velocity.

Finally, flows of aether seem to have a sort of momentum. Once you get the aethermoving it wants to continue. Tesla was able to cut off power to his systems and theywould continue operating for a period of time. In addition, he once produced a ray ofaether from a tube connected to the output of a Tesla Coil. He used this beam topower light bulbs and other loads. After he turned off his coil and removed the tube,light bulbs would still illuminate in the path the ray had been traveling. This effectcontinued for hours!

This momentum effect was also demonstrated by a glow that would grow around his

devices. The longer his giant transmitters were active, the larger this bubble ofillumination would become. In one experiment, he connected the output of a largetransmitter to a wire lifted into the sky by a balloon. A glow was produced along thewire which grew in volume over time. Eventually, the glow illuminated the entirearea!

Free Energy from the Aether

Tesla's system could also produce gains of energy. If a certain quantity of energy wasused to power his transmitter, much more energy could be collected by receivers.From the moment his primary was pulsed it seemed a gain of energy was takingplace. As the voltage increased along the secondary coil the total energy of the systemwas increasing. When the flow of aether collected and magnified along the windingsof the "extra coil" there was another gain. The transmission of this flow of aetherthrough space to the receiver also seemed to produce a gain. This gain was alsomagnified after it was collected by the receiver, and traveled across it's coils.

These gains of energy have been verified by countless replicators. At times, it seemsthe energy collected by a receiver can be ten times more than the energy consumedby the transmitter. If you have more than one receiver this gain can be multiplied!Somehow, energy is being collected from the aether, which is everywhere, unlimited,and inexhaustible! The reason people should build and test Tesla Coils is not toproduce beautiful light shows, but to develop methods of producing free energy topower our world!

Specific Plans

There are many plans for Tesla Coils on the net. Most of these setups are used towaste energy and produce long streamers or sparks. However, they could work wellfor wirelessly transmitting energy if modified to prevent such losses. By doing somesimple online searches you will find a wealth of information that can help you designyour own setup. Also, you will find many words on safety guidelines you shouldfollow!

Hopefully, this guide has given you an outline of how a Tesla Coil is constructed, it'scomponents, how it functions, and the physics busting feats it is capable ofperforming! Next, I will be providing a few comments on Steve Jackson's open source

plans.

Steve Jackson's Open Source Plans

Steve Jackson has developed a set of plans for a Tesla Coil setup. Instead of usingextremely powerful high voltage transformers and capacitors, a solid state arbitraryfunction generator is used to pulse the primary. This provides a vast improvement insafety (using a few volts instead of thousands). Despite the fact this is a lower powersystem than many Tesla Coil setups, the anomalous effects of Tesla Coils can still bedemonstrated.

An additional benefit of his system is that by utilizing an arbitrary functiongenerator, it is much easier to find the resonance frequencies of the primary andsecondary coils. Downloadable software can allow you quickly search through thefrequencies, and an oscilloscope can allow you to see the voltage peaks that occur atresonance. Tesla did not have these advanced electronics to aid his research.Thankfully, we do!

A PDF containing details plans can be found at the following link.

Please download and open the document, because I will be making a few commentsabout it and providing additional thoughts. I will be listing my comments accordingto page number.

His plans allow for the construction of a low power (safer) system that can allow youto confirm the wondrous effects of Tesla Coils. I advise anyone interested in TeslaCoils to start by following these plans to build a small-scale and low-power unit. Bydoing so, a lot can be learned (in a safe way) before you experiment with higherpowered setups.

Please note how it is stressed this system utilizes low power levels. This is a goodthing when considering safety. However, it might limit the maximum power that can

be transferred to a receiver. Interestingly, this issue might be overcome without anyadditional input power. It might be possible to just increase the number of turns inthe secondary winding to increase the final voltage of the system. In addition, byadding one or more "extra coils" of various shapes, more aether might be collected bythe system to increase the output.

Remember, we are not dealing with a conventional transformer here. The output isnot limited by the input. There is a clear decoupling between the two. The gain ofvoltage by the secondary and extra coils represents a gain of aetheric energy!

The document states that the wire sizes may change. One thing to notice is that thesurface area and/or mass of the primary and secondary windings are not the same inthis setup. It might be worth experimenting with primary and secondary windings ofequal surface area and/or mass. By doing so, Tesla was able to maximize theefficiency of his systems.

Also, as the document states, proceed at your own risk!

If you do not have access to a power tool, a cheap hack saw could be purchased tomake the cuts to the boards. This would take more effort and time, but could savemoney.

Not everyone has a power drill to make a hole in the baseboard. I know there aresmall manual powered tools out there that allow you to make a threaded hole. Theylook something like a screw driver. Such a tool may or may not work.

If you do not want to buy a pair of digital calipers to measure the thickness of your

wire (which is best), there are online charts that give the thickness or diameter ofvarious wire guages. Also, you might be able to source wire that comes with detailedspecifications.

The three ring binder reinforcement ring idea is brilliant!

Soldering is a very useful skill to learn. However, some folks may not want to learnthis skill or don't want to invest in a soldering iron. One potential solution might beheat-less soldering products.

Wire Glue

To strip the wire, an alternative to buying a wire stripper might be burning theinsulation off with a cigarette lighter, candle, or small torch. Please be cautious,because the fumes of burning insulation can be toxic and fire can burn. Also, if notcareful you could melt the wire!

More drilling and cutting. If power tools are not available hand tools could probablyget this done, but with a lot more work and time required.

The secondary coil in this document is a single wire coil. Tesla and others havediscovered the bifilar coils allow for much larger gains of voltage. After you havetested a single wire coil, it might be interesting to test a bifilar wound one.

The aluminum foil on the elevated sphere is very wrinkled. This could allow for morepoints where sparks/streamers could emerge. Even though this is a low poweredsetup and visible streamers would not be as obvious, these sharp points could allowenergy to be wasted. One solution could be to coat the ball with some sort of liquid orpowered conductive substance. Perhaps a type of paint or powder. Another

possibility, is insulating the aluminum foil covered ball with wax to prevent losses.

Of course, like the document stated, this might not matter much.

I am happy to provide answers to the question of the solenoid coil above the primaryand secondary. The length of the total secondary should be 1/4 wavelength of thedesired resonant frequency. The capacitance of the sphere and the length of thesecondary are matched for resonance.

The difference between an ordinary transformer and a Tesla coil is that the Tesla coilis a resonant transformer. The Q of the system, i.e. multiplies the voltage. Sharplyresonant system could have a Q of 10,000. Meaning that at resonance, the Q factorwill multiply the voltage by 10,000. It is really very simple. In addition, only by loosecoupling can the secondary resonate at high Q. Tight coupling at the primary willreduce the Q of the secondary.

The spark gap should be tight quenching as this gives a sharp Dirac pulse whichallows maximum transfer from the capacitor to the coil. The faster the discharge, themore power transferred.
