In series you need more volts. That is the reason lighting 25 of them or OMG 58 in series is significant. It shows a strength in the system that is not needed in a parallel arrangement.

OMG, you must have missed my post with 96 in series

Thanks, I'll have to give that a try. I've tried to light modified CFL tubes before, but so far I've only got the end to flicker a little. I have a 13watt and a 26watt, so maybe I'm trying to light to much wattage and need to locate a smaller tube. Maybe a 4 or 8 watt.

I've noticed another interesting thing about the 7-7-70-70 coil. I can light LEDs using only 1 wire hooked to the Positive of the series. They are very faint, but brighten a little when I touch the Negative with my finger. Also, If I touch the Negative of the series with one hand and the Negative of the Rectifier output with the other hand all the LEDs are almost as bright as if they were connected directly. The electricity must be passing through my body to bridge the connection. I'll try to get some pics later.

You caught me, Hazens. I forgot the number but at the time didn't bother to check. Please accept my apologies.
96 96 96 96 96 96 yeay 96!!

Here is a quote from the NT lecture I am still reading. It is jammed with great information. It is a favorite thing for me to go back into times past and listen. This and the other books from that link are really good for that . There is even a Tesla AUTObiography at that site.

I will leave it white because it is easier to read.

quote from N Tesla:

"The preceding experiment is only one of many equally interesting experiments which may be performed by the use of only
one wire with alternations of high potential and frequency. We may connect an insulated line to a source of such currents, we may pass an inappreciable current over the line, and on any point of the same we are able to obtain a heavy current, capable of fusing a thick copper wire. Or we may, by the help of some artifice, decompose a solution in any electrolytic cell by connecting only one pole of the cell to the line or source of energy. "

The Researches of Nikola Tesla 1894

This is a book written by a contemporary. Real history.
Thanks MK1.

I have repeatedly heard this phenomenon sloughed off as "just capacitive coupling" or something like this as though it were not important or a solution. I believe this is a very important thing and I am delighted to hear that you have found it experimentally.

I will keep reading,

Hazens1,
I keep forgetting to ask you. On your 7T,7T,70,70
Is the 70,70 done like the MK1? Which means did you go up 35, down 35 then across and up 35 then down 35?


I have a 7T,7T,70 and I would like to make it into a replication.
Is it on a medium?

thanks

@all

Two really interesting drawing.

the first one is from a generator for boat.

Be safe stay at least 3 feet away from any stranger, the pandemic is only starting . And its worst than reported.
