Hi Terry,

I think Tesla knew what he was doing, and he has mentioned on several 
occasions the need for a properly tuned system, indeed I find it hard to 
believe that he would have been able to generate 100ft streamers by simply 
throwing more power at it.

"The adjustments are such that the reservoir is filled full and bursts at 
each alternation just at the moment when the electrical pressure reaches 
the maximum. The discharge escapes with a deafening noise, striking an 
unconnected coil twenty-two feet away, and creating such a commotion of 
electricity in the earth that sparks an inch long can be drawn from a water 
main at a distance of three hundred feet from the laboratory.

I have produced electrical discharges the actual path of which, from end to 
end, was probably more than one hundred feet long" - Probelm of Incresing 
human energy Tesla.

Assuming 100ft = 40 Meters and dialectric breakdown of air is  3 x 10^6 V/m 
then that would mean a potential of 13.3MV.

Is he making this up, or are we missing something important here?

Thanks

Chris Rutherford
