Tesla's Magnifying Transmitter (amplify electricity)

[Magluvin]

Sometimes I feel like I am searching for something that isnt there. I build these lil machines and circuits and change parameters and values, and at times I see something that makes me feel like Im getting close. But in my excitement I continue and find that in just about every case, I am using more energy than Im trying to produce. I read a lot of material, and everything seems to be a blur at the moment. None of it has gotten me any further than just draining my batteries and time.
Im tired.  Im going to take a break for a while.

Regarding, ground...

I have made some time ago a kacher, per russian wording, a solid state Tesla coil like apparatus that produced sparks over a wire 2-3 long.
I have used lighbulbs to measure effectiveness (40 % max) and repeatedly discovered and its a solid data to me that  ground provides at the Hf currents a suitable reservoir for maximum performance. Without ground usage my lamps were lit dimly, no matter what the topology of the circuit. period.

I have seen it vividly displayed by the kapanadze and his famous improvised resonator at the backyard demonstartion. he stressed that using a good ground is a must.

Its just that simple. I have read also, that instead of a grounding, you can have an antenna, spiked one best for the same purposes. By the way, a real solid ground can handle vast amperage while an aerial will not.

yes , an antenna insted of ground do (capacativly  the same as an gorund, specially fine, IF they is tuned to the frequency,  (if you see an dipole antenna for fm/ vhf / uhf frequencies , you will see and understand. that an "neon (even an bulb) with 2 wires on in
- are nothing others that your neon with one wire and open side
capacitivly coupled to the (RF-)transmitter. Because your "SOURCE"
is nothing others...

  I understand what I am saying.  It is just reiteration of electromagnetic wave theory.  I see a very close resemblance between a resonant electrical circuit and a non radiating electromagnetic wave.  A current flows between nodes and antinodes of an electromagnetic wave.  It is not charged mass moving since there isnt any charged mass in a vacuum yet there is current flow....

Hello Sparks,

I am not trying to be heretic here, but reading from Colorado Springs notes (Tesla is a great teacher)   i believe what is Tesla saying as it is very logical. In a standard Tesla coil, you naturally formulate stationary waves.. OK.
BUt, the formation of stationary waves that is nodes and anti-nodes, it seems to apply only for voltage and not current... . Sounds lol. let me explain if i may..

Consider the top toroid of a tesla coil as an one-terminal capacitor (which it is). Imagine the Tesla coil is grounded via another capacitor (at its base)
When the coil operates, both caps are charged-discharged according to current alterations natuyrally...
The top cap (toroid) how is charged/discharged if not current is not moving since it should be a voltage node/current antinode? Clearly not the case.. The same applies for the bottom cap.

Anyway, those are not my sayings.. Tesla in his notes says them again and again.

   I believe we have to get beyond the water A in a pipe analogy of an electrical current  and pay more attention to what is flowing in an electrical field between two places that are in a relative charge state.  Inside a charged capacitor there is something flowing between the two metals.  This is the current I am referring to.
   Voltage arises from resistance to electrical currents.  Or resistance to the flow of virtual particles that create different charge states.   A proton is said to be positve while and electron is said to be negative.  An electrical current flows between the two.  It is not the electron moving that creates these currents it is the electron and proton charge state that creates these currents.
