RE: Tesla motor receiver
Thanks for the various hints.
I've put together a big loop of 1/4" copper tubing, around 24" diameter.
I've simply soldered a diode to one end of that, to go to one of the motor
terminals. Should the other end of the loop go to the other terminal ?
or should a ground connection be involved as well ?
I've fixed the loop in a vertical position, with its ends pointing
downwards.
Presumably, if the diode can rectify RF as advised by many of you, the
motor would see this, after rectification as simply a "dirty" D.C.
Advice please !
Richard.

Richard and Mike,
a few quick thoughts here...
remember that the transmitting coil should have a very large topload. so
much so that no arcing is permitted. in this way 90% (roughly) of all the RF
energy is pumped into the ground instead of it being spent as spark.
Richard, you refered to the single wire motor. basically a disruptive
discharge coil (tesla coil) was connected to many turns of wire that were
wrapped around a copper rod. a copper disk was placed next to the rod and
rotated.

i think he added a little bit of capacitance (like a plate) to the end of
the motor's windings for added tuning.
BTW-Richard Quick was able to transmit enough RF ground current from a 500
watt coil 1500 feet away, enough to light a flourecent tube bright enough to
read by.
hope this helps ya out! and good luck and have fun!
Dan
