Re: Tesla's Wireless Power Transmission ==> was Re: Non-techQuestion



Noah,

I believe the reason Tesla used such a large topload is a two fold
answer.

First...it lowered the resonant frequency of the coil down to the earth's
resonant frequency.

Second...he did not tune his "transmitting" coils for spark. He would put
a large topload capacitance on his coils so that no spark would be able
to break out (re-tuning the primary of course to the new freq). What this
did was force massive amounts of current into the ground. In fact, about
90% of the coils energy was pumped into the ground while only 10% was
radiated out into the atmosphere via the topload. When you tune for
spark, it is the opposite, 90% of the energy is used for the spark. These
figures are round, and are different for every coil.

What I want to know is, did he plan to use these resonant ground currents
in the earth AND excite the ionisphere (or the Schuman cavity as wer call
it today)?
