Ed -

I mean the power magnification was over 500. This is what the three
scientists said in their report. I show a condensed version of how this was
calculated in the TCCGuide. The original article is in the IEE Review for
Jan 1930 by Breit, Tuve, and Dahl. Any Tesla coil can magnify power but not
energy. Energy involves efficiency which is always less than 100%. The power
gain is theoretically unlimited as Tesla mentioned in the CSNotes.
