The Tesla Project

[Grumpy]

If you are building a magnifier, do a google search for posts made by "Richard Hull" and "Richard Quick" - they (and the Virginia group they are part of) are the "magnifier kings" of the 90's and after.

Tesla used many many arrangements for various reasons in Colorado.  I have his notes too.  He was discovering, experimenting, and building.  He stated in an interview much later that the current system was different from the magnifier patent.

Eric Dollard's book are available as a 5-book set for like 50 bucks.  He takes a different approach than anyone else I have seen or heard of.  similar to some but still rather unique.  He states that he varified everything by experimentation.  He aslo developes his theory of electricity to a large degree in his books.   There is very little available from Dollard that is outside of these 5 books.  Couple of videos floating around and a handful of files, but that is it.  Again, do a search.

It all depends what you want from the system - then build accordingly.   I don't want long sparks - I want the freaky stuff.

@Charlie_V

Thanks for the calculations. I will keep this on hand.

@Grumpy

Good posts also. Both you and @CV have provided some eye-openers.

Before embarking on the second relay, I decided to send the choke (secondary of my first toroid) into the secondary side of my second toroid (both identical). Output on the primary side of the second toroid is 127 vdc. The wire on the relay started to smoke, but not the relay itself. Played around with the cap bank again and stabilized it so less hard on the relay and wires and it still makes in the range of 111-127 vdc.

Now how do I use the second relay...

More fun to come.
