Stephens > Fellow "Professional" Tesla coil builder > Lindsay Scientific Co. > Ontario, Canada Hey, good reply Robert! I hope DR. RESONANCE doesn't brisle too much to a little scepticism, as in the scientific community it is nessisary. When one makes such great claims, they then shoulder the burden of prof. I have some doubt also, to the meathod described by Dr. Resonance to measure the voltage of a TC. I for one would not want to place a very spendy Multichannel analyzer with a HPG crystal or even a relativly inexpensive NaI crystal in the visinity of a TC to get spectroscopic analysis of the >1 Mev X-Rays (which by the way "...would result in unidirectional peaks of voltage at the half-frequency of the Tesla current - meaning a constantly-changing x-ray hardness"-as Robert Michaels wrote, but then we are only looking for the highest peaks, eh?). I am not saying that it could not be done with very carfull faraday shielding, only that it would be a rather unhealthy and tedious process. The X-Ray tube must have been huge to operate at such high voltages! David Trimmell
