Tesla's Hairpin Circuit & the DEFINITIVES proves of the existance longitudinal electr

[Ernst]

Hi Pedro,

I am still experimenting and have found some more interesting facts. But no conclusive evidence yet. I am testing with the 'bare wire' set-up, and testing how much electricity I can collect in the area around these coils. The only conclusive evidence that I have so far is that the source of the collected electricity is NOT the HV-end of the secondary.
I hope I can do some more tests today and summarize it all in a report.

More later,

Ernst.

It appears very difficult to establish what causes what.
I have tried many different set-ups. The most revealing seems to be using a resonating coil tuned to the operating frequency of the HV system and measure the voltage that it generates in various locations.
The coil itself generates up to about 1 KV due to magnetic induction but (depending on its location) in can generate up to 34 KV due to electric induction.
I have learned to use a separate ground (15 m apart) for the HV source and the receiver. Using the same ground creates very profound effects but this can be attributed to the Meyl-error. (Ground <> 0 Volt)
Using very careful electric screening only the magnetic effects are observed.
As a top-load I use the strike-ring. This of course brings the system out of resonance but this only reduced the output to 125 KV (due to high coupling).
At a distance of 15 cm from this ring I get 34 KV when inside the coils, 24 KV outside the coil at the same height and 19 KV straight above this ring.
It looks as if the electric effects are originating from the space inside the secondary coil. There is little variation inside these coils but there is a slight increase towards the middle.
Replacing the top-load with a different shape and on a different place, the source still seems to be located at the center of the coils.

Using a different primary, without the secondary, the effects go down into the 1 KV range which I suppose indicates only magnetic induction.

I have found that the measured effects are being produced by a combination of:
- the electric field produced by the HV terminal
- the magnetic field produced by the secondary
- the impulse current in the primary
All of these need to be present to produce the best effects.

Oh, and another thing:
My 'antenna' picks up a strong AC signal (not surprising) but it appears that the positive pulses are slightly higher than the negative ones, so when feeding this signal to a HV capacitor it charges the cap.

I have no idea how to explain all this but the experiments continue....

Here some results of my experiments.
Still no conclusive evidence....
