The bifilar pancake coil at its resonant frequency

LOL   In Kirchhoff's Current Law all currents entering a node in a circuit must sum to zero.  The convention is that currents entering a node are denoted as positive currents and currents exiting a node are denoted as negative currents.  "Positive" or "negative" merely denote the direction of the current flow.  There is no such thing as "negative current" in the way I suspect some people might be thinking.

"The algebraic sum of all currents entering and exiting a node must equal zero"

"That is, if we assign a mathematical sign (polarity) to each current, denoting whether they enter (+) or exit (-) a node, we can add them together to arrive at a total of zero, guaranteed."

So all of the fussing and flustering and fussbudgeting and the general spreading around of misery and drama and unhappiness and insults about this subject can now stop.

@Milehigh,

Define "Alternating Current".

Here's some help for Dr. Weizsacker:

"Either as a voltage switching polarity or as a current switching direction back and forth, this "kind" of electricity is known as Alternating Current (AC)".

Milehigh states AC current destroys itself and factors out to zero! Here it is:

"In Kirchhoff's Current Law all currents entering a node in a circuit must sum to zero".

Bro Mikey II and Allen B. are so mixed up in their thinking they believe they can discover something new when they obviously don't understand what has already been well established.  Most of these guys like them want to portray Tesla as some great genius who magically created all his wonderful inventions.  Tesla was a true genius.  There is no doubt about that.  What they keep ignoring was that Tesla had a very strong electrical education before he went on to take it farther.  I have studied Tesla for over 50 years and he many times has mentioned inventors before him that learned something and then he applied it in a different way.  He did not ignore the research and education he had gotten.  He built on that.  You can try to put down those of us that have strong electronic backgrounds all you want but in the end it will be someone like us that will find the secret to OU if it exists.

OU, if possible will be found by those that clearly know what they doing and have direction and insight into what they are doing.  It will not be found by someone blindly stumbling around in the dark that believes anything they see on DumbTube.  I know TK has spent countless hours checking out supposed OU circuits and machines.  I have also been doing the same thing for about 10 years now.  I don't think MileHigh believes OU is possible so we have agreed to respectfully disagree with no name calling or hard feelings.  I hope some day to be able to show him something that will change his mind about that.  In the mean time he is a good check for those of us that sometimes get over excited by a supposed new machine or circuit.  Most serious researchers don't have a problem with peer review.  Only those with a hidden agenda would balk at a peer review.

Respectfully,
Carroll

Here's a quote from a personal message to me by Citfa dated July 16 2016:

"You are also still incorrect about the current reversal.  Just because you got someone else to agree with your misunderstanding about inductors does not change the facts of how they really work.  I am 70 years old and have worked in electronics as my career for over 50 years.  You are a beginner with a bad attitude who refuses to listen to those that try to help you".

I am not a beginner. I too am 70 years old. I was tutored by David T. Dinan, a graduate fellow at M.I.T. who invited me to tour a scarpyard in western New Jersey to view an old Tesla electro-magnet in 1962, when I was 15 years of age.

where's the scrap yard ?

western jersey ??

my old stomping grounds, shipped Thousands of tonnes to A western jersey scrap yard... one in particular?

Where was it ?

I'll be down that way quite a bit soon [for work]
will gladly ask around about that [and see some old friends too]

??

what do you remember about it?

who's iron?[drive unit

what made it so special ?
