Re: Tesla motor receiver



Richard and Mike,

a few quick thoughts here...

remember that the transmitting coil should have a very large topload. so 
much so that no arcing is permitted. in this way 90% (roughly) of all the RF 
energy is pumped into the ground instead of it being spent as spark.

Richard, you refered to the single wire motor. basically a disruptive 
discharge coil (tesla coil) was connected to many turns of wire that were 
wrapped around a copper rod. a copper disk was placed next to the rod and 
rotated.

i think he added a little bit of capacitance (like a plate) to the end of 
the motor's windings for added tuning.

BTW-Richard Quick was able to transmit enough RF ground current from a 500 
watt coil 1500 feet away, enough to light a flourecent tube bright enough to 
read by.

hope this helps ya out! and good luck and have fun!

Dan
