Tesla transmission

[brusers]

Got a few questions for the Tesla guys.
I'm messing around with the power transmission a little bit.
Figured I could learn a lot there, along with tuning circuits, which for some reason I'm not really grasping.
But my question was, when you have a tuned transmitter and reciever, do you need the high voltage, or like in the bedini circuit is using the abrupt switching all you need. I'd like to make a small scale transmission setup, just to study it, and I'd like to stay away from using thousands of volts.
One reason I was asking also, was because I know with Stubblefield and his wireless voice transmission, I'm going to go ahead and assume he was just perturbing the aether, without high voltage, so would a tuned transmitter and reciever be "linked" I guess you can say, reguardless of voltage being sent through it?
I hope I said that clear enough. lol
Thanks,

Marcel

Borderlands Videos

Marcel,

Have you seen these two vids?

Borderland sciences video

TESLA’S LONGITUDINAL ELECTRICITY
A laboratory demonstration video with Eric P. Dollard & Peter Lindemann
If you’ve ever wondered if there is more to a Tesla coil than just making big sparks then watch this video. Borderland presents a series of experiments providing you with factual data on the reality of Tesla’s theories. You will see experiments on: The One-Wire Electrical Transmission System; The Wireless Power Transmission System; Transmission of Direct Current Through Space; and, a novel form of electric light which attracts material objects but repels a human hand! Also presented is a longitudinal broadcast from Borderland Labs to a nearby beach, using the ocean as an antenna. These experiments can be reproduced by any competent researcher, there are no secrets here! Today’s conceptions of a Tesla Coil provide the researcher with little practical material. Eric Dollard reintroduces the "pancake" Tesla Coils in a series of experiments taken directly from Tesla’s work. No modern interpretations needed, we went to the source — and it worked! Construction details are given. If you want to do some exciting, exploratory work into Tesla’s theories then this video will certainly give you a good start.

TRANSVERSE & LONGITUDINAL ELECTRIC WAVES
A laboratory demonstration with Eric P. Dollard
Eric demonstrates the reality of longitudinal waves and their application to the natural transmission of electricity. Analog computers (networks of coils and capacitors) are presented opening up an entire new field of electrical researches into the wave forms discovered and used by Tesla in his wireless power transmissions. You will experience the physical functions of the various waves via direct measurement inside the computer network. The Longitudinal Magneto-Dielectric wave is shown to have a propagating velocity greater than the speed of light! The transverse electromagnetic wave, (in present use) is shown to be a retarded, unnatural form of energy transmission. A Multi-Pactor Orgone Detector is demonstrated indicating a relationship between dielectricity and orgone. A competent researcher can duplicate the experiments on this video from the information given. Amaze your science teacher!

You can find them online sometimes. I bought them from Borderlands a long time ago.

Videos

I have those downloaded actually, and have watched them a few times. Very informative. Plan on ordering the real video when I get some extra cash.. I actually got some other research info from some of the information that they showed as well.
I used those videos to construct two small coils (about 8 inches tall), one trasmitter, one receiver. And tried to listen to what they had said about the construction. Copper volume in each of the winds, direction, etc. etc..
But the only thing I have to make high voltage right now would be the car ignition coil I got for the spark plug experiment.
I tried transmitting with just my signal generator on a transistor, and actually got an LED to light really dim, I was pretty excited about that. And it lit up around 170kh as well, like Meyl (Germany University guy) had said in his lecture.
It was Meyl and his small setup he used to demonstrate that got me thinking about this. He seems to have it all solid state, no spark gap unless I totally missed it, which I would assume would mean he's not beefing it up to 50kvolts..
I know some transistors out there are fast, but I think Tesla said that the spark gap was preferred because it was about as abrupt as you could get.
But you can't spark gap 12 volts, or 110 for that matter can you?
I'll go over the videos a few more times.
And if need be I'll get an old high voltage supply from a neon sign, and then work my way down from there to see what happens.
Thanks again, I appreciate the links.

stuff

Alright, got some stuff to start this off.
I got an old microwave for $12, and I love what I found inside.
Nice high voltage diode, big 0.04 uf cap, and a nice 2300 volt power supply. Let's see what I can transmit with this beast.
Hopefully I don't transmit 2300 volts through my fingers, lol, got a bad habbit of just grabbing things.

on transmission of energy

the way tesla did things and the way rafdio today does things are two differing methods.

Generally the antenna impedance is 50 ohms, because for some reason that is best for preserving the signal. Tesla never mentioned anything of the sort that I'm aware of, but 50 ohms is generally not going to be over a couple hundred volts- the RF field is what is radiated- and that energy will burn you regardless of the voltage.

The skin effect is, of course, the skin effect, as far as that will save your life. If your current is small then you'll likely be ok regardless the voltage. I had a coil:

This incarnation used 12,000 volts worth of microwave transformers at perhaps half an amp. And holding a fluorescent light by the glass would wrench your arm- this thing shocked the crap outta me.

But powered with a 15kV 30 miliamp (less than a tenth the current but roughly the same output voltage) neon sign transformer, it wasn't bad at all! I could almost stand to touch the streamers, and barely felt a tingle from the glass of a fluorescent light.

so be careful, and good luck

Some one should Ask Meyl if they can use some of his stuff for educational Demos (non profit) he has allot of toys there but they cost allot of money.

Transmission

Yeah he does have some interesting looking kits.
Wish I played the lottery and was a lucky man. lol.
I don't know if I had posted this or not, I think I did somewhere.
But with the microwave transformer and a basic spark gap I was able to get some light coming out of an LED with the ground leads connected with a clip. Then I left the trasmitter part in the office grounded out to a water pipe, and went around the house where ever I could find a pipe, and it seemed to work. Anywhere I went it was really really dim, but it was showing a bit of light.
Rotogenre, that is a nice pic. And with the differences in transformers, was there a change of frequency that made the difference? I remember Tesla saying something like different freqs on the discharges changed the stinging effect, even some making it feel good to the touch.
I've moved on to some other project for now, due to the fact that I keep blowing things up and I'm out of parts. But still interested, and it's still on the to do list.
