Single circuits generate nuclear reactions

@Forest: Indeed, the Tesla coil thing you bring up is quite typical.
A great many people have built "Tesla coils" and most of those work,
they produce high voltage arc dircharges that look like those Tesla produced.
But one thing that struck me when I first figured it out was that most of these
don't even use Tesla's papers at all, they use build-it guides written by
others who tried to build "Tesla coils". And like you said, none of them
(except for the occasional oddity) seem to be able to reach the extreme
power levels that Tesla managed to achieve.

I do believe that Tesla himself was a genious and that he did manage to build
devices which we can nowadays only barely get to work, and inefficiently
at that. I also believe most of what he knew was never written down,
and that the most crucial knowledge the man had gathered during his lifetime
accompanied him to the afterlife.
Unfortunately.

@Sparks: well I'm not sure but I seem to recall that they did later figure out that
those signals were natural occurrences emanating from Mars, although at present
I can't recall how exactly they are produced.

May I ask whay you did "back then" that you worked with these devices?

No 

There was no radiation shielding. I doubt the speeds used would have generated Beta but they had other valued radiated effects. The only problem was you turn it on and you had to fly using stored hydraulic pressure for controls.
At the time I wasn't on the technical side of the device but I do remember the techs saying once started it provided its own power for internal elements. I doubt that meant it was self-powered but that stuck in my mind then.

I would give my mother-in-law for one now

LMAO Priceless
Ok, no problem. NDA or something? Never mind.

Yeah, I suppose they meant that when the main power to the coils was on, the internals of the device got all the power they needed from induced
fields inside the tron.
But then again, they weren't trying to use it as OU generator, but to generated the "other valued radiated effects".
(assuming that you won't like me to reveal what you didn't want to reveal. So not getting into that. )

NDA?

Nothing that breakable 

The only thing I ever saw that looked almost exactly like one... There are two of them in the middle of the big TPU. They appear to be the same size also. The idea of any experimenter getting their hands on a small betatron is ridiculous.

I think there is a good reason for limited information on these.

BTW: The charge rotational axis was as most would expect but the magnetic axis was 90 out (as I'm sure you would expect) and now that there have been many years for me to think about it the latter should have also rotated again around the charge axis.

See why I would give my mother-in-law for one?

reading over Teslas 454622 patent he talks about using carbon as an induction lighting element... was thinking of attempting such an expieriment and thought it be smart to ask you guys if yall think it wuld cause any kinda transmutation of the carbon or any worries on that end of attempting it?
