Hairpin Project

[resonanceman]

does anyone here know how to test the power of  something like  a hairpin  to make  sure it is radiant energy?

I mean  without  electrocuting  anyone

If  a JT does put out  a spike  with enough  rate of change to drive a hairpin with no spark gap.......my best  shot is  using  a MOT as a JT

I don't have a meter that can read the voltage  I got  when I tried it before......

First i must stress the point that you can kill your self with that idea, studying the hair pin circuit without a spark gap is needed first because how else can you know how it works , before thinking of modification .

In the demonstration , it is clearly said that without the spark gap , just high voltage will kill you ...

I think it would  be great if an unmodified JT could drive  a hairpin.
I am not  convinced  it can happen  but I  would love to be surprised.

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

Yes I know

That is why I was asking  for a way to be sure of the difference

Even with a spark gap we stil need a way to make sure that we have radiant energy  not  hot energy ....... because something might not be working  quite right

Also in the demonstration, Karl grabs hold of both sides and says, "but see? this is ok."
AND that is when the bar across the top is in place.

It was that way throughout the (5 part)  demonstration where he was lighting lights simultaneously.
In fact after he said that, and he said that with the bar across the top , which is basically a horseshoe, he said Tesla used this for curing disease and specifically mentioned the C word.
He said this cure was accomplished by putting the 2 sides of copper bar on either side of the tumor.

fyi.

On that page I call it tesla's 3 lamp experiment, but in his own words he talks about this to a group of electrical engineers in London 1892.
The third picture is the one with the bar across the top= the horseshoe.
