That matches my understanding Itsu.  Hopefully it is correct.

I found the statement below in some conference notes prepared I think by T1000.

"Also, the wire length of Tesla coil must be tuned to match resonant frequency of grenade coil wire length which is wavelength. When frequency matches with grenade coil the 25W bulb connected directly on grenade coil should start lighting up. You need to get the best resonant frequency of Tesla coil decided by wire length of grenade coil to have maximum effect."

I read this as the frequency of the Tesla bifilar coil needing to be tuned to the resonant frequency of the grenade coil. However, I'm not clear on exactly how this should be best achieved. I think what would help Nick and others who are in the process of building, is a step by step guide through the whole process giving the correct order of coil connection and tuning steps. That's assuming that somebody here is very clear on this and prepared to assist.

If you treat grenade coil as transmission line connected over capacitor in series (the top load of Tesla coil hanging on top of inductor up to the half of grenade coil) the bifilar is your wave transmission line in that case. Should be not too hard to figure out by wire lengths and using RF theory as background knowledge. That implies you were building RF circuits or at least have good understanding in it.

Thanks for replying but I'm neither competent enough in RF theory to work this through, or in the process of re-building this device, thus my question and suggestion that would help others who are building and lack the background knowledge, like Nick.

It is never too late for learning. In general we are focusing on maximum energy transmission on the end of transmission line which falls into 1/4th or 1/2th wave length for sine wave peaks.
Also there is good background read in http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/tesla/esp_tesla_51.htm if you are interested in theory.

  Looks like no one is too sure of what to do exactly, or just how to go about it.
  But, it's not lack of knowledge, as it is a lack of proper instruction.
 
   Personally I don't think that the Kacher circuit should resonate at the same frequency as the 168 turns grenade output coil, as the two are running at totally different frequencies. The 168 coil does not run in the Mhz range, like the Kacher does, nor do I think that it should be, either.

  I'll do some more testing of the frequencies of both of the grenade coils, and compare them to the Kacher frequency to see how it looks.
  I've got my new set of scope probes, and the new WIMA tuning caps, now.  So, I'll install the caps and re-tune things, and report back.
