Tesla Hairpin Circuit replication using a 10kv oil burner transformer (can use 10 to 20kv), a spark gap, and two 40kV 2000pF doorknob capacitors. This circuit shows the weird properties of scalar energy.
A short circuit on one side of the capacitors via a 12 gauge copper wire can light a fluorescent tube?

  • what is the reason for the crackling in the speaker. Is it some sort of interference?

  • @DonnyDaison - I think the noise from the spark gap was a little to loud for the camera. I suppose it could be some sort of RF interference though.

  • Very cool IApEkv21.

    Have you tried any incandescent lights with it?

  • I have, the only problem I tried 8 of them in parallel (they were soldered together for discharging batteries). I have since gotten single bulbs and one 75w halogen, but the transformer I've been using decided to die for some reason. So the projects on hold till I get a new transformer.

  • I actually got them from ebay for 40 apiece. not too bad

  • This does not receive radiant energy and transform to DC current, it is merely a short circuit and the power is coming from the transformer which is hooked up to a AC outlet, the spark gap is merely completing the short, this is why there is sparking across the electrodes. It does not receive and make energy,it is getting it from the transformer which is hooked up to a AC outlet.

  • Nice video: more tech in "Wonderful electric energy" by HorizonDelta ;-)

  • That`s great :)

    Try to measure the input of the system and if it change when you load it!

    One more thing. In some video about the Hairpin tha man told that the shorting wire must mave at least 3mm in diameter.

    Hope It would be very exciting for all as for me!

    Thanks a lot and take care!

  • @morpher44 because thanks to faraday we can explain things like the capacitance of capacitors, measured in farad, capacitors being the key thing here.

  • I was just wattching MIT Lewin's video on Non-Conservative fields which could explain your demo. Faraday's law holds, but Kirchhov's law does not. Mind bending.
