I thought I would start this thread as there doesn't seem to be a dedicated source to this topic despite the interest in the production of such waves. Also, there is a device that I read about many years ago called the Perry Interdimensional Power System that I would like to attempt to replicate one day which uses a tesla coil:
Perry's Interdimensional Power System - KeelyNet 12/23/01
The device uses a tesla coil that limits radiation of hertzian waves. Above the coil are two copper plates rotated at 20,000 rpm, between which is a flat spiral coil. Mounted on the outside of the copper plates are magnets used for shaping the field generated by the rotating copper plates. The inventor of the device claimed that with a 100 watt input he was able to obtain a 350 watt output. The inventor of the device died a few years later under mysterious circumstances. This is the only information that I can I find on device. Based upon what I know about tesla coils and judging from the power input I would assume that the device uses a solid state tesla coil, although considering the large box holding the coil it could be a small TMT.
My understanding of modifying a tesla coil to produce longitudinal waves is that the production of such waves is best achieved with a three coil system in which the tertiary coil is wound with loosely coupled turns and the topload is of very small capacitance, while the input to the primary coil should ideally be made up of non continuous transients such as impluse or oscillating currents. However, assuming that the tesla coil used in Perry's system is solid state this would contradict this. There are also other experimenters such as Stoyan Sarg who use soild state tesla coils for longitudinal wave production in their experiments.
So basically my question is can any tesla coil be modified to produce longitudinal waves and if so what modifications need to be done to the coil?

Thanks! Oh, by the way that last post was my first post here. Forgot to mention that. Been lurking for a while.... Howdy all!
