What kind of pot 15 k ?

There are 3 legs on a pot , make sure you tested the right side.

@all

tesla showed us to make core from iron wire but also to isolate them , But why , since the coil wire are isolated them self.

Because the core is a coil.

Did he use the ends or did he keep the thing in a coiled loop?

This is very interesting. It is what I am finding so interesting about what jadaro and now (is it) NOP?? is doing.

thank you,

Oh yes, I tested it and because the pot was hard to use, I tested the actual resistance right off the hooked up wires. no mistake there.

I think this is from what gadget was doing, but I thought you were doing it too. So, maybe I need to get back into my time machine and check the dials!

i have noticed that when the coil is tuned ... i can turn my resistance ... anywhere between 0-1k   it does not effect my out put....

ist!!

about 1000 x

lol

that is with the same aa battery ... 

sure it will use power but i bet it will lite a 100 w

My mk1 had 8 turns and did that to it didn't mater where the pot was , but i brought it down , otherwise you can't find the sweet spot , and by making it 4 turns i got a higher voltage at the right freq. i assume that difference consume more from the input. But that said if the resistor value is not changing the output result that could also be good at different input voltage . both are good ! But faster is faster.

Edit @Jeanna , it would complicate things a bit , so the gadget is not on yet.
