ENERGY AMPLIFICATION

[synchro1]

@Mags,

         The cap discharge is at the highest broadcast range voltage. A very high inductance primary coil is required to catch it. Ohmic resistance is extremely low. The charge would simply pass right through a thicker winding of fewer wraps. A crystal radio diode and reciever coil rectify and transform full sine wave energy to power a low inductance headset. That's a close comparison.

So a radio transmitter being received by a crystal radio is OU when we consider the input to the transmitter vs what comes out of the headphones? Or are we not talking about Energy Amplification?

Ive seen a lot of drawings of
2 tesla coils, the first is run as
we know, a step up, and the
other is used as a step down,
in which the HV from the
step up TC is 'sparked to the step down TC. I dont get it. what is the
point of stepping up voltage
only to step it down again? Mags

The reason why teslacoil need to step up the voltage is because that where is the power amplification appears. Doubling the input voltage will quadraple the power output, increasing the input voltage 4x will increase the output power 16x. But high voltage in the output is very dangerous so we need to step down it and convert it again to 60hz 220v.

Yes, I agree. Higher voltage rise power output and minimalize heat looses due to resistance. However there is a problem with mosfets or igbt, right ?

Don Smiths Quote - wil not happen if you onliy step up voltage in first Tesla coil and transform it in power in the second - receiving Tesla coil. There has to be additional arrangement that sucks additional power in the system.

With 2 coils - you can only accumulate power received in short intervals and release it in  longer intervals. Thus the power only accumulates and discharges at a higher rate.
