Hairpin Project

Sparks
Wouldn't it be even  better  to make  the small wire bifilar and connect  the the start of one wire with the end of the other.......just like  we do with JTs
I have found  that when a coil is wound like this and  receives an impulse  the  current in each wire  support eachother

I believe  if your coil was bifilar you would have a Tesla  pancake coil

I do not know what you mean by "drive" a hairpin.
Please explain.
thank you,

A circuit needs  enough  energy to  get  the job done

If  you do not  have enough energy to drive  a  new secondary on a JT  that  secondary  acts as a choke.

I believe that the  hairpin  in the  video  in the link you provided  was driven  by a high voltage tramsformer

Oh ok.
I was not sure if the drive was being accomplished by the caps or the spark .

But, you say it was neither.
It was driven by the wall mains power through a high voltage transformer.

Thank you.

I didn't mean to say it was neither

everything in the circuit is driven by something.

I was trying to answer  the question in the context  it was asked.

The idea was to try to replace the transformer and sparkgap with a JT

That is why  I mentioned  the transformer

In the conventional  hairpin  as I understand it  .....the transformer drives the  sparkgap........the pulses from the spark gap drive the caps

I tried a few expermentrs  with the pancake  coils I made back  on the earth battery thread......
I tried to see  if they would act like your conical

no luck yet

exactly.

I will read it again.
I thought the induction coil made the high voltage which 'fills' the caps which make the sparks.

I have thought about them a lot.
If the smallest part of the cone is the most energetic which I believe it is, then the fact that it works best with the toroid 'hanging' on the tip makes me think the cone shape is essential.

Tesla made wardencliff in a cone shape and the pancake patents were about the radiant sending and receiving units (wardencliff) , I put them together to mean the pancake was never flat. It was just projected flat on the page but was in fact a cone.

The really interesting thing I just re-realized is that the receiving end is turned the reverse direction from  the sending cone. (Someone just mentioned it.)
I just saw that when I made an hourglass and made the 2 coils wound in the opposite way it snuffed out the voltage.
Now, this fact makes a lot of sense to me.

If the receiver coil is wound in the reverse way it should kill it when it is added to the sending side. HA It received the volts right there on the sending unit!

I will wind a new hourglass some day if this never gets far enough.

thank you,
