Kicks explained

[sparks]

   
      I  see a pulsed solenoidal coil able to produce a magnetic field  (pressure gradient in the potential energy sea we are swiming around in)  that precesses the kinetic energy of the conductor.  Much like the pressure wave that precedes a boat,  This pressure wave causes a kinetic energy response in the turn that is right next door and another pressure field.  And so on and so on down the length of the solenoid.  This can continue on in the dielectric field past the end of the solenoid infinitely but is more likely to merge into another vibration of spacetime.  This is what I believe happens in the tpu kick windings.  The kick starts this coil of high selfinductance to cause a magnetic pressure that causes a current that causes pressure that causes current.
      In the magnifier coil the same thing goes on but instead of inititating the pulse in a solenoidal coil it is initiated so that the magnetic pressure wave is directed inward traveling in a spiral winding where it is compressed into a higher amplitude wave of decreasing length.
      Either system causes a magnetic field change that causes a current that causes a magnetic field change.  SM's coil of high selfinductance is wrapped around a coil that experiences this magnetic pulse field and responds as a conductor would that experiences a changing magnetic field.

A hunderd years will come and go before any of you get it.  Oh well.....good luck anyway!

Statements like this do not help increase anyone's understanding of anything.

-----------------

So, sidestepping the "stuff" and getting back to the subject at hand - the "kick"...

Here is an Excerpt from Gary V's account of Tesla's discovery of RE - posted 100 times - once for each year that we shall lack understanding:

Tesla made a most startling discovery the same year, when he placed a long single turn copper helix near his magnetic disrupter. The coil, some two feet in length, did not behave as did solid copper pipes and other objects. The thin-walled coil became ensheathed in an envelope of white sparks. Undulating from the crown of this coil were very long and fluidic silvery white streamers, soft discharges that appeared to have been considerably raised in voltage. These effects were greatly intensified when the helical coil was placed within the disrupter wire circle. Inside this ?shockzone?, the helical coil was surrounded in a blast, which hugged onto its surface, and rode up the coil to its open end. It seemed as though the shockwave actually pulled away from surrounding space to cling to the coil surface, a strange attractive preference. The shockwave flowed over the coil at right angles to the windings, an unbelievable effect. The sheer length of discharges leaping from the helix crown was incomprehensible. With the disrupter discharge jumping 1 inch in its magnetic housing, the white flimmering discharges rose from the helix to a measured length of over two feet. This discharge equaled the very length of the coil itself! It was an unexpected and unheard of transformation.

There is your "kick".

TPU and unknown frequencies aside, how many reading this can reproduce that simple experiment and see the "kick"?

It is only a high-voltage source, a highly quenched spark gap (yes I know if the circuit is right then you don't have to quench it), a capacitor, and a loop of wire with a solenoid coil inside the loop. 

Until you can do this, there is nothing more to add than to repeat accounts of others, and toss theories around wasting bandwidth and time.

I'm sick of the bullshit theories and the "you'll never get it" crap - put up or shut up!

Here is my challenge to all of you - Erfinder included:  get off your arses, and build this circuit.

(disregard the blue boxes - I was explaining something to someone else)

Grumpy,  Tesla was a great guy, but the "kick" was explained by Steven Mark, after all we are discussing his device.

The discharges that Tesla observed are NOT the "kick", but are related perhaps.

Simply put the kick is like an impulse to the wire (motion occurs) coming from it's repulsion in a magnetic field (from the earth but also from magnets)  when a significant current travels through the wire.   Steven mentioned it in the context of the tube filaments.

So frankly I don't understand what all the confusion is about.

The "kick" is NOT an impulse in the wire! 

Magnetic field?  You don't even know what a magnetic field is.  You do not know how it is created. 

The "confusion" comes from people attempting to pass their incorrect interpretations around as though they were facts.

[EMdevices]

The kick is an impulse TO the wire, not THROUGH it or IN in.Ã,   I'm just telling you what Steven said, take it or leave it.
