One way fluid valve of Tesla. This fluid valve works best when there are large, high frequency impulses imparted to the fluid. I'm wondering whether this device came about by the equivalent for an electrical circuit and if so what form would this take ?

I know a diode works as a one way valve but I'm wondering whether tesla had created another electrical one way valve using some other concept.

Would it be possible to loop round the current in a wire in such a way that the magnetic field generated by the current in the wire would automatically oppose current reversals particularly when dealing with large high voltage impulses ?

For example, take a length of wire, bend it back on itself and then wind a coil around the wire up to the point where the wire was bent and then repeatanother say 2 inches down the wire. End result is a length of wire over which there are turns of coils wound from the same wire ?

Who is performing the experiment in this picture?

Given what looks like the copious amounts of iron/steel/metal in the device, it looks like it is before the information given by Steven Mark. As it has been stated that iron cores are definately not used.

I've got litz wire which has at least 25 strands. Each individual wire is enamelled.

I've been painstakingly sandpapering the end of each wire in order to remove the enamel and make a connection. Is there a better way of removing the enamel on litz wire ?

Bob,
Try a hot soldering iron!
You will be amased!

I have, of course, already tried a hot soldering iron otherwise I wouldn't be using sandpaper!!
I have an 80watt variable power supply weller so plenty of juice their.
I got the wire from an army surplus store a few years ago so possibly has some high temperature coating.

I'll try my gas cooker to burn it off.

You use a lighter and hold the wire in a wet towel so that only the end is burned. After burning that you clean the ends with alcohol and a cotton-wool tip.

perhaps it is also possible to remove the lacquer with acetone!?
