So is it real or is it just one of millions of patents that were never used in the real world and the only reason it is discussed is because Tesla's name is on it?

MH,

Of course it was "real".  Consider the fact that Tesla was having to use brine filled wine bottles in metal tubs of brine to make his capacitors (as per his Colorado Springs Notes).  He spent a lot of time quantifying the characteristics of different wine bottles versus brine levels, capacitance, and breakdown voltage with respect to their ues in his brine solution/wine bottle capacitors (I believe he liked the dome bottom bottles best, if memory serves).

Now imagine you are Tesla and you just figured out how to make a given inductance have an intrinsically greater distributed capacitance.  This great discovery could eliminate a lot of wine bottles, brine tubs, lossy wine bottle inter-connecting cabling and more than likely greatly improved the overall Q of his system.

For those reasons alone it was a great discovery at the time.  As for any additional "magic" some would wish to assign, who knows?  But, sometimes a really good cigar is just a really good cigar...

How nice to see you back!  I have no doubt it was "real."  But to use English parlance, was it "real real?"  Was it used in an application or applications in industry or some other area?  Would you agree that the patent language states that it is a series resonance device where the inherent capacitance could be used for power factor correction?

Now, if Tesla had a bunch of big bifilar coils made in various shapes and sizes to do research in his lab, I suppose that you could call that a very very narrow niche application.  So less requirements for brine-filled wine bottles in tubs and all that stuff.

Did you know that the Microsoft Kin product lasted only 48 days on the open market?  lol  They spent a billion dollars on it.

You "Mile" from the sky or whatever you call yourself, please go away from this thread,
I'm not very much interested whit TBPC they are difficult to wind and they have weird properties,
but I'd like from time to time to see what is going on, and what is happening,
You dude are an obstacle, go away, find some school, educate yourself while you still can.
Stop  abusing this tread and Tesla's legacy and everyone else here.

Speaking of Tesla's legacy.  This is quite a read.  Mr. Tesla even predicted his own
departure three months in advance.  Let's see MH do that...

opportunity to help !!

here we have an experimenter who has been wrestling with a Junkie scope [no math function]

some of us would like to fix this problem and get TinMan a good scope to work with Asap

he won't like this [at all]

but he needs a scope and some of us need to give back for all his hard work
over the years.

anyone willing to help ,please PM me.

thanks

Chet
PS
@DOG
you had mentioned a scope which you thought "a good deal" ?
