Re: Low Impedance Negative Resistance Tesla Coils

Assuming the high current pulses didn't kill the superconductive state of the wire (superconductos don't carry infinite current, after a point they stop superconducting and quickly incinerate/explode if the wire is small). Problem is on primaries the current pulses are usually rather high. Also, the cooling systen would eat much more power than it saves in the coil itself.

Just a Thought..
What if you used super conductive wire to build your Primary & Secondary
coils, Solenoid wound secondary close coupled. Then put the whole thing in
Liquid helium or nitrogen...
Wouldn't this give you a coil with virtually no resistance??
Like I said
Just a thought..

Regeneration requires the use of a power supply to overcome the real
loss so in terms of power spent you actually only gain a further
inefficiency. This is quite different to increasing the collecting
power of an antenna.
