Radiant Energy - how to generate

[bob.rennips]

Tesla stated that when he generated radiant energy particles they:

1. Electrified every metal object.
2. Depending on method of generation they would manifest as:

• stinging particles
• heat sensation
• cool refreshing breeze
• pervasive light eminating from the air with the quality of sunlight
• etc

Tesla was quite specific that to generate the particles you had to have:

1. High voltage DC pulses applied at a rapid rate.
2. There must be no current reversals what so ever, however small.

The rate of the pulses determined how the effect of the particles manifested.
A number of Tesla patents specifically dealt with preventing current reversals whilst producing precisely timed current pulses. e.g. Magnetically quenched spark gap, compressed air quenched spark gap, counter rotating contacts.

With modern electronics we can create the precisely timed pulses without a problem. How to prevent current reversals with no reverse current ? Diodes are not good enough.

The answer is obvious once pointed out. Generate a 400V square wave OFFSET by 1600 volts. e.g. A wave oscillating between 1600V and 2000V.

This wave by definition does not have current reversals. It also has 1600V of leeway to deal with voltage spikes.

The circuit below will do this.

On the right hand side of the air core transformer you apply 2000V DC. On the left hand side you apply a 0-400V square wave. The polarities of the voltages applied to the transformer are such that the 0-400V sqaure wave CANCELS part of the 2000V DC.

Why cancel ? Because when the square wave voltage flicks back to zero you have a very fast reappearance of the magnetic field of the 2000V DC. ie. a sharp high voltage pulse with a very fast rise time, WITH NO CURRENT REVERSALS.

An air core is required to prevent the transformer from going into saturation with the high DC voltage AND to prevent a ferrite core from absorbing the radiant energy.

Radiant energy wil emanate from the wires on the right hand side of the transformer therefore these wires should be thick copper wires.

This matches perfectly with what SM was saying about unusual pulses observed in transformers in certain situations.

Finally if you consider what Otto et al have observed. They get their effect when the seed has been shifted along the waveform so that it appear towards the top of a high voltage pulse. Is this not an approximation of a DC shifted square wave ?

This in essence is what the Italian 'perturbing magnetic field' patent is all about.

I'll let you all know if this proves out.

cheers, Bob.

In fact you could have 10:1 air core and only have to generate 40V pulses...

Hi Bob, 
I enjoy some of your postings.  I'm trying to replicate the Tesla Coil as you are probably aware.  I feel every FE researcher should do this, then we can understand Tesla's words even better, so I've been reading up on the theory quite a bit.

My take on the RE phenomena is that it is the high voltage discharges we see from the Tesla coil, as in some of the photos like the one attached. (random photo off the web)

What I understand about the tesla statements you mentioned is that, if we have a current reversal, the primary tank circuit will not charge up to full potential and the energy of the sparks will not be as large.

The theory of the Tesla coils is quite well understood, by some     It is still quite mysterious though, and sharp pulses do create (or rather contain) a wide spectrum of frequencies, which may or may not resonante different modes of resonance.

Wow, could we then step up this hig frequency signal with yet another air core transformer to attain extreely high voltages?  This looks nifty.

...What I understand about the tesla statements you mentioned is that, if we have a current reversal, the primary tank circuit will not charge up to full potential and the energy of the sparks will not be as large...

My understanding is that in a Tesla coil the spark gap is used to 'ping' the primary with a fast jolt of energy. Because a spark gap is used the energy injected into the primary does not leave via the way it came in because the spark gap is extinguished. This leaves an amount of energy oscillating in an LCR fashion in the primary. Because the primary and secondary are tuned to the same resonance, there is a huge build up in the secondary. The primary therefore does have current reversals which is why many Tesla coil fans use TV flybacks transformers to create the primary oscillations.

In a Tesla coil, radiant energy was not the intention, it was the by product of the method of generating high frequency oscillations in the primary. Tesla observed this radiant energy and pin pointed the phenomena down to having high frequency pulses into a wire with no current reversal. He achieved this without an attached Tesla coil. In fact he did many experiments using large capacitor discharge pulses into thin wires in order to explode the wires. When exploding the wires even though he physically shielded the wire, Tesla would still feel the stinging pain of r.e. particles, wherever he stood in his laboratory.

Researcher Peter Lindemann/Eric Dollard has much information on this aspect of Tesla's work.
