can you connet it to an aerial and tune that as your your power source?

[tortuga0303]

If you were to do this, the frequency picked up by the aerial would have to match the frequency of the whole device. One could use an impedance, or spark gap as in "Device for the Utilization of Radiant Energy" to power the device. If you get a good aerial going with a good ground, I hear you can really get a spark gap roaring.

@tortuga0303 yes, your device is basically a Tesla radiant energy transmitter, with tuned coils that resonate at a certain frequency. You could just as easily tune your device to optimise a certain frequency.

[tortuga0303]

@MattBlytheTheOne ...Yes that is the point. what is interesting is the impedance matching possibilities.

'tortuga' , if I could bother you with another question; is the signal generator powering the loads and also the lamp in the input impedance test?

Or are you using an amplifier?



[tortuga0303]

This depends on what resonant mode you are running the coil in, the best way to find resonnance is to hunt for it. Change your setup however you want, then sweep with the signal gen to find the maximum response by your near by scope probe, you will learn a ton doing this exercise.

I would say that in a proper circuit, there is both conduction and induction. In fact each successive winding on a coil, induces onto its neighbor, this gives it inductance, so conduction is a product of induction, and vice versa, both need be present, but most circuits only take advantage of conduction.

Also, what happens if you move the second primary ( with the load) up and down and when calculating the resonant f, do you take in account one primary or both?

And thank you for a response..

[bbojbboj]

I tought it is not relying on conduction. As I understand this circuit, we have one stationary wave or odd multiple. What do you think is a mechanism that manipulates the field in and arround the secondary. When we have conduction, there must be something in the wire that puts in motion the electricity, being electrons or whatever, but in this secondary what we got is a pulsating stationary wave, which when in resonance needs very little energy to mantain the action which can be very powerful..

[tortuga0303]

You could also say this is an impedance matching transformer. It transfers energy, but does not create it, but the concept of how it works is useful in understanding circuits that do not rely solely on conduction.
