Re: [TCML] Is a TC reversible?

[mddeming@xxxxxxx]

If connected directly, loading would destroy resonance. If in proximity,

1) Efficiency is very low ~1%. 
2) The output voltage will be much lower than 110V
3) It will still be at ~100-400 KHz, not usable by most devices. You could try to rectify and then invert, but power losses would be enormous 99.9%+.


To be a motor, there must be some mechanism to convert energy into motion.
The term "natural motor" is undefined.
A Tesla coil is VHF AC. Ion-drive motors are not AC devices and are only useful in near zero-gravity conditions where accelerations of mm/day/day are acceptable.

i think what hes trying to say is can you take the output and somehow step it 
back down to useable electricity ...and yea as he said how could it be a motor?
