Re: Tesla Receiver Coil

Just like every Tesla Coiler I love to make the big sparks, but I am really more interested in broadcasting electrical energy. I have built a receiver coil with a variable capacitor and tuned it to my Tesla Coils resonate frequency (about 200kHz). It can light two small incandescent 14 volt bulbs from 5 to 6 feet away. Is anyone else working on something like this!?

I've been experimenting with receiving transformers on and off since 1989. Most of the time the transmitter has been a low-power continuous wave SSTC powered by two 12 volt car batteries. The greatest range for lighting an incandescent lamp (a small Xmas tree light) so far is 35 feet with about 25 watts input to the TC.


I'm curious to learn what type of TC you're using, and what power level it's being run at. Also, I'm interested in learning a little more about your receiver's variable tuning capacitor.
