Ere many generations pass.... It is here Now and Ernst has a plan.

Exciting news, will this be breakthrough we are all waiting for! The anticipation must be torture for you Chet. Ernst has done what no man has been able to do since Tesla. We are talking of thousands of experimenters.

Over the years I have grown very Fond of Ernst ,I honestly had no idea how much work he had done ,
and now he wants to share , well he always wanted to share but was on a quest towards this discovery as many were.

IMO "That" is what will change the world more than anything .

A selfless act of giving... acts of giving can be hard to measure ,I can give you a piece of my Cheeseburger at lunch...
a nice gesture which really costs me nothing...

what Ernst gives is truly hard to measure , very hard for me to get my mind around that .


just one mans opinion !

but yes very exciting indeed.

Silly?
Sir,
To hold prejudice without investigation... is at the very least Rude...

Ernst is no keyboard jockey or Couch potato.

All that work and effort and his "Wardenclyffe" Tesla Coil, as shown in that first video, is apparently still not working in true VRSWR (voltage rise by standing wave resonance) mode. He's made a big transformer, that's all. Congratulations for that much at least.

Here's what the discharges from a Tesla Coil that is operating in VRSWR (true quarter-wave resonance) looks like:

... and I'm only using 24 volts input, no pole pigs or huge structures involved, and am in the same output voltage regime as his huge setup.

Ernst's "Testing Dual MOT" video shows at least that he's getting some better performance from that system and seems to be showing true VRSWR:

...but I must say that overall, his builds seem pretty inefficient, and I think that's because he's not really designing his coils properly. His primaries are too loosely coupled and have too much self-inductance from all that wire, and his secondaries have too much height for their diameter, which results in a lower Q than a shorter fatter coil would have at the same resonant frequency. He also seems to be neglecting the top capacity, which results in higher frequency of operation and less overall energy storage in the system before discharge occurs.

But more power to him: At least he's experimenting, has a nice large space to work in (until he burns it down!) and has money to spend on his work, and he seems to be having fun.

I don't know what makes you think that. Just search You Tube for "Tesla Coil Magnifying Transmitter" and you'll find many many videos of people who are getting much better performance and "effects" than I have seen from Ernst, by using actual principles discovered and taught by Tesla.

For example:

His work will speak for itself, No amount of pointing at Old Vids and critiquing will change that.

I have to say, seeing that last Vid you posted made my hair stand up , hard to believe that is real,  it seems to take on a life of its own.

I ate the Cheeseburger ,
Stale ?
