Hi Peter,
I would like to have your feedback on some questions i have regarding Tesla's one wire system and ozone patent. In my setup a high inductance coil dumps its spikes through a tank circuit (low inductance coil and cap). The transformer is a cone shaped Tesla coil wich I did according to the 1/4 wavelenght theory. Everything works great, I'm getting a few thousend volts at 1,3 Mhz. Neons light up without touching anything. What I'm trying to do now is gathering all possible energy from this field (the coil is hissing and it actually makes ozone) collecting it with as many caps as possible to charge batteries at the end. The diodes+caps (avramenko style) work great from one wire, but eventhough I'm reading my way through many Tesla patents and the colorado notes I'm still confused about some things.
I always thought these systems were all about unidirectional DC spikes but the output are actually damped ringing sinewaves. This of course can't be otherwise since the HF is created with the tank circuit wich bounces energy back and forth. But it also happens if I use a spark gap. So, the output will always be damped sine waves, do I see this correctly?
The other thing is the ground and capacity on secondary issue. In the ozone patent the "hidden" tank circuit is the secondary with the plates acting as a cap. In the one wire patent there are just loads on one wire. Do I have to add a cap to the secondary to make it resonant with the primary, or maybe between ground and the bottom of secondary? Would this allow me to add more loads (caps) to the single wire?
Also I know Tesla used all kinds of frequencies for different purposes, is there a preferred freq for the application I'm trying to accomplish? I imagine the higher the better as the nodes get closer togheter thus more loads can be connected..
best regards,
Mario
