Check the picture at the bottom of:

That long thin one trailing off the bottom of the picture seems to be the spark to beat. Most of the pictures are smaller power arcs to the ground nearby.

Tens of thousands of Dollars, months of work and one poor photo that doesn't even show the arc attachment point is all the proof there is to back up the 55 foot claim? Just not good enough.


With the greatest of respect, arc length claims really are not a matter of 'what everyone thinks' they are a matter of simple fact, easily proven with a tape measure, or a good photo or video segment that clearly shows where the arc came from, where it struck and gives some good references to scale from. When people make claims like these they have to be backed up.


What about the footage on the teslacoil.com site? Didn't they run the 13M for some sort of tradeshow exhibit and had some pretty long sparks?



Dr. Resonance's 'secret' 75 foot coil has been the subject of much debate on this list over the years, apparently it was installed at the Australian home of a reclusive container shipping tycoon in 1984. Unless D.C. decides to publish photos or film of it (he says he has both), then that claim doesn't count either.

Objective Coiling!
