Re: 135 foot streamers
There are literally an infinite number of harmonics of any arbitrary
frequency, and if the fundamental is as low as 8 Hz, they're pretty close
together (i.e. 8 Hz). In fact, given the usual Q of a tesla coil (in the
10-50 range, not breaking out), if your coil runs at the 12,500th harmonic
of 8 Hz (i.e. 100 kHz), the nominal bandwidth of the coil is 2-10 kHz,
covering several hundred different harmonics.
If you want to send power around the world, there are a lot of other
factors you need to consider, primarily absorbtion in the "waveguide
walls". If you take a look at the "Omega Navigation System", you'll find
out a whole bunch about round the world single mode propagation. Omega uses
(used?) frequencies around 10 kHz.
Those interested in VLF propagation can contact me off list and I can give
you some references to go find out more..
