Tesla bifilar flat coil
Hi Aaron, Have you ever had the chance to try Tesla's pancake type bifilar coil with your setup? was curious if you have.
SUPPOSEDLY, the 'flat type coil' is substantially different than just a REGULAR bifilar coil.
United States Patent Number 512,340
COIL FOR ELECTROMAGNETS
Nikola Tesla, Inventor
""Figure 1 is a standard pancake coil (many Tesla coil builders are familiar with this style). Figure 2 is a bifilar coil, the crux of the patent is where Tesla winds a dual wire and then connects the ends in a series (an interesting experiment for coil builders).
Tesla explains that a standard coil of 1000 turns with a potential of 100 volts across it will have a difference of .1 volt between turns. A similar bifilar coil will have a potential of 50 volts between turns. In that the stored energy is a function of the square of the voltages, the energy in the bifilar will be 502/.12 = 2500/.01 = 250,000 times greater than the standard coil""
