Tesla Hairpin Circuit from A to Y. Z-question remains unsolved:
Why the input power drops down when we connect the load. This effect related to solid state and classic version as well.
Chart of dependence of power from the load resistance is shown.
This video explains most of the properties of THP with the equivalent circuit.
Now we understand why is it called "impedance phenomenon".
Scope shots and circuit diagram are added.
The hairpin itself is replaced by small equivalent coil that have exactly the same inductance and resistance.
Appreciate your comments to solve Z-question. It seems to be last in the THP.

  • What does dl/dt stand for? Can you not measure the frequency? Is there any amperage running through the hairpin? Does the hairpin feel warm or unusual when you hold it. Can you hold one of the terminals and hold a bulb in your hand and it light?

  • @PaulTheAngel dl/dt is a point of THP functioning and the way to understand it! I can measure it only in solid state THP ~2Khz. Can`t hook up a scope ot the spark gap! Of course current flows through the hairpin - during the charge cycle.It seems usual, room temperature. Karl Palsness says it`s hard to sleep after holding the hairpin but it looks okay to me. No, using body as conductor doesnt work as well as water.

  • But what is the frequency of the FART neon transformer when running. You need higher voltage and higher frequency. Much higher frequency.

  • @PaulTheAngel :) fart freqency is 50Hz. But the relaxation oscilator cap-spark gap (or cap-SCR in solid state THP) builds it up to few or even tens of KHz! Taking into account high dI/dt rate it should be enough!

  • The voltage and frequency are far too low to allow much radiant energy to flow. Increase your voltage using a car ignition coil and increase the frequency to 15-20Khz. Your findings will be hugely different. Use a 12v car battery as input.

  • @PaulTheAngel You are talking in poetry! I already have the 10 KV 300W THP with NST and the carcoil circuit as well! Like in my first vid the same effect observed. Can`t see the difference.

    Also the frequency is natural in SCR-circuit, depends on cap capacitance, threshold voltage for schmitt and input voltage. We can change it only through this params.

  • @PaulTheAngel Nope. Just like in the circuit diagram - from the grid directly to bridge then to bulb, cap...

  • and is the 220v being ramped up by a transformer?

  • @PaulTheAngel 220V rms from the grid

  • What is the voltage of the input?
