Making The Magnifying Transmitter (Modified Tesla Coil)

[MrStemkilla]

you would get better arcs if you did more secondary winding all at once not in segmints and your arc gap is well Fed up and should only arc when the caps are charged.. i notived you had diods on there and you cant do that with diodes because one ends up doing all the work and the other just sit there and you want your secondarys really close but not arcing to your primays for best feald reseption

The time machine music  :)

Have you experiment with the large flat coil yet? Like the one that was being Tesla on his famous picture reading a book.

[cowlinator]

i'm confused as to why the magnifying transmitter is not used to transfer power today if it worked. Is it dangerous or inefficient?

[Hvdavi]

bug tesla coil made for make small sparks



[Mycologist]

Impressive, you deserve more than a medal for winding that secondary by hand!

[adamz1988]

very nice job, but the music reminds me to harry potter movies

[zeusapollo123]

Nice tesla coil. Though like a previous poster has noticed this isn't a magnifying transmitter.

[kartkid100]

Great work! I'm making a coil as well and am documenting the work,

[afdhalatifftan92]

Thanks for sharing this!!

[sparten1114]

i just love how everyone is a critique and have no real experience. mostly all talk. if you need any help i would be proud to provide you with it. keep the video's coming, i am impressed not only with the coil but your creative video and music. was done perfectly. good job.

[llewgnal]

Very nice ,

I apluad your patience and dedication , winding by hand , and also the ingenuity of the cap layout...

[masermaker97]

interesting,I never thought of using a marx generator as a spark gap

[prototype9000]

i never cared for the mmc style supposed to be cheaper but i have not seen that in many cases would rather have a high performance high voltage pulse capacitor they are made to last a lifetime and would cost about the same as when you get thru with a mmc unless you make it from plates and rosin

[OpteronMan]

What a surprise! You made Tesla's oldest permutation of his coil! Why don't you do it right and build a conical coil or Tesla's last and best; the pancake coil!? It would be easier, cheaper and much more powerful for its size. I bet you didnt even know about it? Another big stupid cock shaped Tesla coil! I suggest you read up on his patents and go back to the drawing board and do it right! Stupid bubbas! I dont see ANYBODY building pancake coils here. Only big dumb cylinder ones!

[Tdog283]

Its easier to build it if it has a core you can put it on.Try coiling a bunch of magnet wire on a flat surface and see how it turns out. Anyways...this isn't a magnifying transmitter. You need a tertiary coil on top of the secondary.

[kartkid100]

What a suprise! Your a cynical freak who needs to get a life! Why don't you shut up and have fun with your pancake coils.

[libertarianSK]

it´s amazing video... u are perfect tesla constructer but your system must be oscilating ...

good work boy

[tektonica]

To follow up with a clarification to my last post, the components of a magnifier should proceed as such; Primary of large solid wire, secondary of 1/2 diameter of primary, a third coil of large radius "uninsulated solid wire" acting as a conductor, leading to a smooth conductor, leading onto a storage capacitor (toroid) of large radii arranged in geometric fashion. The magnifier is a "ground" activating unit, not an air discharging unit; as with a Tesla coil.

[blackarcproductions]

The answer is simple. our coil was NOT, I repeat, NOT, a replication of Nikola Telsa's magnifying transmitter. It is simply an experiment that we did, taking an old tesla coil we had made, and adding another coil to emulate his design, and observe the effects. We seek not to replicate mindlessly, but to use his ideas to make discoveries of our own. This is how technology advances.

[tektonica]

Thanks for the clarification, your video made easy to see that your work is very well done and executed. There is truly no better way to discover than to build and experiment on one's own, you are far ahead of most by taking inspiration from someone such as Nikola Tesla and pushing forward with novel ideas...may all good come from your efforts.

[computersolutions164]

@blackarcproductions @tektonica This experiment works well if you make the secondary coil 1/3 the diameter of the primary and make the primary a basket (conical) coil. Resonance occurs when 1/2pi* sqrt*LC = 2*pi*f*L and use an oscilloscope to find the the resonant frequency of your secondary with your given capacitance. If you tune the primary to match by moving the feeder wire around you'll get some nice large sparks, especially with a 15KV neon transformer and a good spark gap.

[youtuubbguy66]

@blackarcproductions Your video is awsome and the work you do is as well. Keep experimenting, make your own vision on this world. Life need to evolve. Change of mind will bring evolution. You seems patient, perhaps you are doing what you should do because it need a lot of it :)

[computersolutions164]

@tektonica This experiment works a lot better if you make the secondary coil 1/3 the diameter of the primary and make the primary a basket (conical) coil, rather than a flat pancake coil, since resonance occurs when 1/2pi* sqrt*LC = 2*pi*f*L and use an oscilloscope to find the the resonant frequency of your secondary with your given capacitance. If you tune the primary to match by moving the feeder wire around you'll get some nice large sparks, especially with a 15KV neon transformer.

[tektonica]

A magnifier is the opposite of your device. Instead it has large "accumulation radii" on the toroid, to avoid break out, which is a feature of your coil. A magifier has a primary coil, not unlike yours, but instead of the fine insulated magnet wire on the secondary coil, a magnifier's acts as a large radius conductor, leading to a smooth conductor, then towards a large radii toroid; for storage. The idea is to hold the energy, which is then sent into the ground, harnessed by a tuned receiver.

[teslaspigeon]

a very well made video but the magnifier doesnt work properly im afraid :( keep trying...but my guess is that the tertiary is too close to the magnetic field of the primary/secondary it will not resonat in the correct fashion

[blackarcproductions]

The reason our coil does not work the same as Tesla's magnifying transmitter did lies not in the fact that the tertiary is too close. It has to do with the output resonance frequency of our coil. However, perhaps I misunderstand what you see as "wrong" with the design seen in the video.

[rocism001]

nice video and nice work....

but a MAGNIFYING TRANSMITTER is supposed to have 2 coils...

it is a bit diffrent from a normal TESLA COIL which is what you have in the video...

[blackarcproductions]

Yes, we know the video may seem a bit convoluted, but if you watch again closely you'll notice that there are indeed two coils once we upgrade the model (the secondary is hidden under the base board, and the tertiary is what sticks out at the top). There isn't any action shown in the video of energy reception, but we could draw an arc off the receiving coil from up to 17 feet away.

[blackarcproductions]

for clarification:

4:13 is the primary

3:58 is the secondary

4:17 is the tertiary

[Rockguitarnow]

Nice work :)

By the way, did anyone ever build Tesla's earthquake machine?

Rock on !

[Emoll2]

Actually, hes "erthquake machine" was a misstake. He put a sort of electromecanic oscillator on one of the walls in hes laboratory. The wibrations from the oscillator spread from the wall down too the ground and out over Manhattan.

Really cool guy this Tesla... :P

[teslaspigeon]

the mythbusters tried it and made a right pigs ear of it ... and of course they had to make tesla look like a twat ....cunts...look for it youll find it

[sovietmoscow]

Excellent camera work, put together really well. The craftsmenship of the coil component parts is really good as well, better than the messy things I've but together. Nice "Hollywood" feel to this video - the music helps I guess.
