Re: Tesla's Energy Transmission (Warning Long Post)
I have read Peat's book, really wasn't that impressed by it. I really really
doubt that Tesla ever achieved anything near 128 feet output. In his
notebook he records the outputs of his system quite meticulously, and he
never mentions spark length over about 45 feet. Even with 30KW, he still had
to deal with the losses of glass caps and wooden forms. Looking back,
Tesla's system was not quite up to par if compared with today's coils, but
the Master was able to squeeze an incredible amount of spark of of that
machine. I highly recommend the Colorado Springs notes if you want to gain
insight into exactly what Tesla was up to. As for his transmission system,
admittedely I have little idea of exactly how it was supposed to work.
Good luck w/ you research,
Adam
