ok so the million dollar question is what is the exact length of these bad boy inductors 23 & 28 to give us stationary waves
well if we follow what tesla said the sum of both inductors must be quarter wave length.
But what did Tesla mean exactly by that......
In patent 787412 P2 line 93
He states "the total length of the secondary should be equal to one-quarter of the wave length of light or else to that length multiplied by an odd number"
Hmmm...well we all know that Tesla was duplicating Dr Heinrich Hertz's work. So in Hertz's book called "electric waves" of 1893. Page 128 Figure 26 says that quarter wave length is 1.8 metres in length. This gave the maximum sparking distance as advised on page 44.
It also states on page 130 that 1.8 metres is a node of a stationary wave of magnetic force.
