Re: [TCML] Rectifying A Tesla Coil: Point-Plane Collector Experiments -works!



I am not sure how you are showing rectification here. You have no method to indicate DC like an electrometer or charging a capacitor or object. And once a spark forms, the rectifier is short circuited.
Here is my TC rectifier with electrometer for what it's worth.

----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Behary" <electrotherapy@xxxxxxxxxxx> Guys, this was fun, seriously fun!Maybe not the best way to rectify a coil, but it sure is a start - and a simple start at that!I made two collectors, one with a point and one with a plane. Placed them above a bipolar Tesla Coil. One end of the bipolar coil had a point discharger, the other a plane. The opposite collector was placed above the dischargers. The result - see for yourself!
