Tito, I don't know what you are talking about. I think if Tesla had diodes, he would of used them. As a matter of fact, if you look at the first drawing, they do look like diodes.

Can you draw something up to show us what you mean. It should be as easy as a piece of cake.

I don't think diodes are that great , and BTW great patent nice and simple .

You should have gotten your reading glasses before posting ...

i havent made it all the way through so pardon me if im repeating ideas here.

firstly current radio transmitters are partial ac systems but 95% of the power is sent over the air waves. its funny how the other 5% traveling through the ground seems louder on a radio that has its antenna properly grounded! in teslas work he reversed the roles transmitting his currents through the ground which has less resistance. this means having a capacitive antenna and a capacitor to block the transmissions from leaving the antenna but leaving the ground untouched so energy can leave it.

the hair pin circuit is for most purposes a normal step up high voltage transformer. note however the large "door knob caps" at the bottom of the rods. they block all flows of energy except a purely static electrical flow. in essence you should be able to make a low scale replication by having the 3rd coil of a joule capped at both ends with a high voltage caps. this should filter out the nasty currents. the coil however will need to be allowed to oscilate at its own frequency which means the right caps in farads needs to be paired with the right coil and needs to be pulsed at the right frequency. it will take a oscilloscope to determine these frequencies which im assuming most have.

lastly to make a spark gap in a solid state form has anyone tried pairing a set of diodes where one goes in one direction and the other diode in the other? if the diodes minimum is set to 100v then it will act as a 100v spark gap. atleast it would appear that way. i havent tested the results.

Spark arrester may be similar to what your looking for.

Here is my first replication of the Lecher/Tesla Hairpin circuit, showing you can indeed light the bulb submerged in water:

Hey, that is really cool! I subscribed to your channel, keep up the good work. Nice Wimshurst vids too.

You made me get my hands wet, though. But I'm glad I did.... a very cool demonstration that I had not thought of, and that will impress the heck out of some people I know... I hope. Thanks! And I am not kidding, I really mean it. Sometimes I just don't think creatively enough.

TK:

Very interesting video...I have no idea how you did that.
