Hi,

ESTC 2022 – Vector Network Analysis & Golden-Ratio/Fractal-Fern Plasma Discharges
https://www.am-innovations.com/estc-...sma-discharges
At the 2022 Energy, Science, and Technology conference in Spokane USA, AMInnovations gave an extensive and detailed presentation on Advanced Measurements Techniques for Tesla Coils, which included a two-part demonstration on the live analysis of a 2-coil Tesla transformer, and a live demonstration of the Golden-Ratio/Fractal-Fern discharge for the first time since its discovery by Eric Dollard in the 1990s. This was the first ESTC conference that AMInnovations could attend since 2019 due to the travel restrictions from the UK to the USA resulting from the global Covid pandemic. The Tesla transformer used in both demonstrations is the original Golden-Ratio/Fractal-Fern Discharge Coil from the Wheelwork of Nature series, first analysed using the vector network analyser to reveal the ac small signal input impedance Z11, and then driven using a high-power 2.5kW Class-C Armstrong auto-tune power oscillator. This demonstration shows for the first time since Eric Dollard’s demonstration in the 1990s, the Golden-Ratio/Fractal-Fern Discharge showing the underlying natural order and organisation of electricity, as part of this fascinating electrical phenomena.

Telluric Transference of Electric Power – MF Band 27-70 Miles
https://www.am-innovations.com/tellu...nd-27-70-miles
This experimental post is a follow on from the field-work reported so far in Telluric Transference of Electric Power – MF Band 2-8 Miles and Transference of Electric Power – Single Wire vs Telluric. In this new experiment the same TMT apparatus and generator is used at 1.86 Mc and 400W of transmit power, and the telluric transmission medium is extended into the far-field region at 27 and 70 mile field locations from the TX coil. At the 27 mile location a natural lake was used as the telluric ground connection for the RX coil, and the transmitted signal could just be received, and was shown to result from the combination of a telluric-wave component through the ground, and a radio-wave component above ground. At the 70 mile location the sea was used as the telluric ground connection, but despite many different combinations of configuration, tuning, measurements, and instruments, the transmitted signal could not be received either through the telluric-wave or the radio-wave. The dominant transmission mode in these experiments appears to be Transverse Electromagnetic (TEM), and it is conjectured that in the more distant far-field a three coil TMT arrangement using Tesla’s extra coil may be necessary to “pull” or “draw” the transmitted signal through a coherent cavity via the Longitudinal Magneto-Dielectric (LMD) transmission mode.
The video experiment demonstrates and includes aspects of the following:
1. Portable Tesla receiver (RX) setup and tuning, using a cylindrical coil tuned in the 160m amateur radio band, for radio-wave and telluric-wave field experiments in the far-field region.
2. Telluric ground connection using a submerged aluminium metal plate, firstly in a natural lake 27 miles from the lab transmitter (TX), and secondly in the sea at 8 miles from the TX.
3. Small signal ac impedance measurements using a vector network analyser, to tune the RX Tesla coil to the series and parallel resonant modes.
4. Fine tuning to different modes, and optimal received signal strength at 1.86Mc, using a telescopic aerial at the top-end of the RX secondary coil.
5. Comparison of radio-wave and telluric-wave measurement by re-tuning the RX coil from the Telluric ground plate connection, to an ungrounded single wire bottom-end extension.
6. At 27 miles the TX signal could be received and was just audible with a TX input power in the range 20-400W. At 70 miles no audible tone could be detected at either the parallel or serial modes.
7. The lower parallel resonant mode of the RX Tesla coil was found to receive the maximum signal strength at 27 miles.

Telluric Transference of Electric Power – Brookmans Park AM Radio Transmitter
https://www.am-innovations.com/tellu...io-transmitter
In this post we continue to explore telluric transference of electric power, by using a Tesla transformer receiver 300 metres from Brookmans Park AM Radio Transmitter. The radio transmitter broadcasts four stations in the medium frequency band (MF) in the south-east of England, and is one of the most powerful AM broadcast transmitters in the United Kingdom, nominally rated at 150kW @ 909kc, and 400kW @ 1089kc, along with two other higher frequencies. A specifically designed and tuned Tesla transformer receiver, which can be tuned both at 909kc and 1089kc for both the series and parallel resonant modes, is used to receive power from the transmitting station, both through the normal transverse radio-wave above the ground, and through the telluric-wave under the ground. This telluric experiment is very similar to the crystal radio initiative (CRI) originally proposed by Eric Dollard, where a Tesla transformer was to be used to power a 100W light bulb using power transferred through the ground from a broadcast AM radio transmitter. The CRI required specific design of the receiving Tesla coil and ground system, optimised for receiving power from the telluric wave. In this experiment we demonstrate a Tesla transformer that receives ~55mW of power combined in the radio and telluric wave, using a very good ground system, and in very close proximity, around one wavelength, to the radio transmitter.
The video experiment demonstrates and includes aspects of the following:
1. An introduction to Brookmans Park AM Radio Transmitter Station, broadcasting 150kW @ 909kc, and 400kW @ 1089kc, along with two other additional AM frequencies.
2. The configuration of the vertical mast and T-antenna monopole antennas on the site, and optimised for ground-wave transmission of the transverse electromagnetic mode (TEM).
3. A brief introduction to Eric Dollard’s crystal radio initiative (CRI), the challenge to power a 100W incandescent lamp using a Tesla coil transformer, and using an AM Broadcast radio station as the generator.
4. A modular Tesla coil transformer receiver (RX) designed to tune both the parallel and series resonant modes to 909kc and 1089kc, corresponding with two of the station’s transmitting frequencies, and optimised for the longitudinal magneto-dielectric (LMD) transmission mode.
6. At 300m from the transmitting station antenna, in the near-field and within the induction field of the TX, a maximum of ~55mW of power could be measured using an HP435B with HP8481H thermocouple sensor, and with RX tuned to the parallel mode at 909kc, and using a tested good ground connection.
7. The telluric wave was measured to contribute ~39mW to the total received power, and the radio wave ~16mW of power, showing that more power was received directly through the telluric channel between TX and RX.
8. The received power was sufficient only to power an LED, and no significant voltage tension was measured across the secondary coil terminals. A 0.5W and 3W neon lamp, along with a 5W incandescent lamp could not be illuminated.
9. It is conjectured that the very low received power of ~55mW from a transmitter output of up to 150kW only 300m distant, results from a combination of the following:
a. The mismatch between TX (TEM) and RX (LMD) transformer modes.
b. High absorption of power by the earth close to the TX ground system at 909kc.
c. Inadequate electrical tension developed across the secondary coil of the Tesla transformer receiver, which suggests no LMD mode is developed between TX and RX transformers.

Adrian

Telluric Transference of Electric Power - MF Band 2-8 Miles
https://www.am-innovations.com/tellu...band-2-8-miles
This experimental post is a follow-on from the Telluric experiment presented in Transference of Electric Power – Single Wire vs Telluric. In that previous experiment a Tesla Magnifying Transformer (TMT) apparatus, consisting of TX and RX cylindrical Tesla coils, were connected together via a 18m point-to-point telluric transmission medium, and with ground connection cables 26m in total between TX and RX secondary coils. In the medium-frequency band (MF) at 1.86Mc, in the mid-field region, 500W input power to the TX coil generated ~ 80mW of output power at the RX coil, from a combination of the telluric-wave and radio-wave. In this new experiment the same TMT apparatus and generator is used, and the telluric transmission medium is extended into the close far-field region at 2 and 8 mile field locations from the TX coil. In both locations natural water features were used as the telluric ground connection for the RX coil, and the transmitted signal could be clearly received, and was shown to result from the combination of a telluric-wave component through the ground, and a radio-wave component above ground. It is conjectured that at the 2 mile location the longitudinal magneto-dielectric (LMD) transmission mode was dominant in the telluric cavity between TX and RX, and the transverse electromagnetic (TEM) mode was dominant at the 8 mile location.
The video experiment demonstrates and includes aspects of the following:
1. Portable Tesla receiver (RX) setup and tuning, using a cylindrical coil tuned in the 160m amateur radio band, for radio-wave and telluric-wave field experiments in the close far-field region.
2. Telluric ground connection using a submerged aluminium metal plate, firstly in a natural lake connected to a river 2 miles from the lab transmitter (TX), and secondly in a man-made reservoir 8 miles from the TX.
3. Small signal ac impedance measurements using a vector network analyser to tune the RX Tesla coil to the series and parallel resonant modes.
4. Fine tuning to different modes, and optimal received signal strength at 1.86Mc, using a telescopic aerial at the top-end of the RX secondary coil.
5. Comparison of radio-wave and telluric-wave measurement by re-tuning the RX coil from the Telluric ground plate connection, to an ungrounded single wire bottom-end extension.
6. At both 2 and 8 miles the CW audio tone could be received and heard at only 10W TX input power.
7. At 2 miles, 6 bars of signal strength were measured at 10W TX power at 1.86Mc for the telluric-wave and radio-wave combined, and 1 bar for the radio-wave only.
8. At 8 miles, 4 bars of signal strength were measured at 400W TX power at 1.86Mc for the telluric-wave and radio-wave combined, and 2 bars for the radio-wave only.
9. The lower parallel resonant mode of the RX Tesla coil was found to receive the maximum signal strength at both 2 and 8 miles.
10. The lower parallel resonant mode was found to be much more sensitive to body and object proximity than the series resonant mode.
11. It is conjectured that at the 2 mile location the longitudinal magneto-dielectric (LMD) transmission mode was dominant in the telluric cavity between TX and RX, and the transverse electromagnetic (TEM) mode was dominant at the 8 mile location.

Hi,
I have added a new post to my website:
Transference of Electric Power - Single Wire vs Telluric
https://www.am-innovations.com/trans...re-vs-telluric
In this new experiment on transference of electric power a comparison is made between power transfer through a single wire and through a telluric transmission medium, using a cylindrical Tesla magnifying transformer (TMT) apparatus. The TMT apparatus and linear generator is the same used in the High-Efficiency Transference of Electric Power series both over 1.5m and 11m, and these new experiments are a continuation on those previously reported. This experiment is also the first in a new series on telluric transmission of electric power, and whilst I have experimented with telluric transmission over the years, none of this fascinating area of Tesla research has yet been reported here on the website. In the experiment reported in this post, the TMT transmitter and receiver are housed in different buildings of the lab, and can be connected by a 30m single wire, or a telluric channel ~18m point-to-point between the two ground systems, and 26m in total length including the cables. There is no special consideration of the ground/earth/soil between the two buildings, although the transmitter ground system used is specifically designed and constructed to provide a low impedance connection to ground.
This experiment consists of two video experiments one based on a single-wire 30m TMT system, and the other with the same TMT system connected by a telluric channel. Telluric is often used as a description of the transmission medium in Tesla research when the ground/earth/planet is used to form the "single wire" and hence the cavity between the TX and RX. In this case the impedance of the Telluric channel is much higher than that of the single metallic wire, and hence we make a comparison as to the likely power that can be transferred through the channel, what modes of transmission are involved in the system, and what the magnitude and mechanisms of the losses are involved in the channel. The generator used in both experiments is the same linear amplifier generator featured in the High-Efficiency Transference of Electric Power series, and is explained in detail in those posts, and is used to drive the TMT system at the fundamental series resonant mode. In addition to measuring power transfer in both mediums, the small signal impedance characteristics of the TMT system are measured, and then tuning and matching the generator to the apparatus to ensure maximum power transfer to the experiment with the minimum losses.
The first video experiment of a cylindrical TMT system with a 30m single wire demonstrates and includes aspects of the following:
1. A Cylindrical TMT experimental apparatus using a 30m single wire transmission medium between the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) coils.
2. Setup, matching and tuning, and operation of a 1kW linear amplifier generator, adjusted to drive the TMT experiment at the available series resonant modes, and further adjustment during operation to maximise the power transfer efficiency, and minimise reflected power.
3. Small signal ac input impedance characteristics Z11 from the perspective of the generator, and showing tuning of both the series and parallel resonant modes to establish optimum experimental starting conditions.
4. At 1.920Mc using a balun feed to the transmitter the maximum power transfer efficiency was measured at ~ 34%.
5. At 1.890Mc without using a balun feed to the transmitter the maximum power transfer efficiency was measured at ~ 40%. This frequency and drive method produced the highest efficiency observed during the experiment.
6. The optimum power transfer was accomplished with the maximum number of four primary coil turns, and balanced parallel modes, at both the TX and RX coil.
7. Extension of the single wire from 30m to 40m, close to the quarter wavelength of the generator drive frequency, did not change the maximum measured power transfer efficiency of ~ 40%.
8. It is discussed and conjectured that the TEM transmission mode is dominant in the experimental setup, and as a result large losses occur through radiation from the single wire.
9. It is conjectured that the LMD transmission mode was not adequately established in the single wire over 30m or 40m, and hence the much lower power transfer efficiency than expected from previous experiments with 1.5m and 11m single wires. In previous experiments with an 11m single wire transfer efficiencies up to 96% were measured, and it was conjectured that the LMD mode was adequately established as the dominant transmission mode.
The second video experiment of a cylindrical TMT system with a telluric channel demonstrates and includes aspects of the following:
1. A custom ground system, using copper water pipes driven into the ground, and consisting of a main RF ground and a reference test ground.
2. Signal reception tuning, using a Sony ICF-2001D radio scanner, to calibrate the proportion of signal transmitted through the radio-wave and the telluric-wave from the transmitter to the receiver.
3. At 1.860Mc 10W of input power at the TX resulted in ~0.55mW via the radio-wave, and ~0.7mW via the telluric-wave, and a total of ~1.25mW at the RX coil, into a HP435B power meter with an 8481H 3W thermocouple power sensor.
4. At 1.860Mc 500W of input power at the TX resulted in a total of ~80mW at the receiver through the radio-wave and telluric-wave combined.
5. It is discussed and conjectured that almost all of the transmitter power is absorbed into the earth around the ground system, and radiated from the secondary coil in the TEM transmission mode. This diffuse absorption and radiation around the transmitter system results in very little power incident on the RX system, and hence at 1.860Mc in the 160m amateur band, radio communication appears possible through the telluric system, but significant transference of electric power does not appear possible at this frequency.

Adrian

Hi,
I have added a new post to my website:
The Wheelwork of Nature - Vibration, Frequency, and Discharge Form
https://www.am-innovations.com/the-w...discharge-form
In this follow up experiment in the Wheelwork of Nature series we take a look at vibration, frequency, and discharge form that results from a set of Tesla coils designed to cover an operating frequency range between 300kc and 4Mc. If you have not done so already I recommend reading or reviewing the first experiment in this series The Wheelwork of Nature – Fractal “Fern” Discharges, which will set the basis for this current experiment. In the original experiment a range of experimental variations were tested in order to identify the origin of the fractal “Fern” discharge form, which is a distinct and significant departure from the discharge form normally observed in Tesla coils constructed using a basic standard design format, and constructed with readily available materials and processes. Variations to the experiment included, changing the matching and tuning of the Tesla coil, the excited resonant mode, the generator waveform, the type of vacuum tube used as a generator, and a top-load on the Tesla coil. The only significant variation to the discharge form was noted between the upper and lower parallel resonant modes of the Tesla coil, and hence it was concluded that frequency, or more correctly vibration, of the Tesla secondary coil was key to the nature and form of the fractal “fern” discharge.
The video experiment demonstrates and includes aspects of the following:
1. Three secondary coils based on the same geometry, dimensions, and construction, with different wire gauge and hence wire length, producing a different fundamental series resonant frequency in each secondary coil.
2. A standard vacuum tube Tesla coil generator (VTTC), operated in CW mode using a pair of 833C vacuum tubes (VT) arranged in parallel as a tuneable class-C Armstrong oscillator.
3. The tube power supply (HV & Plate) configured for 2 series transformers with a nominal output of 4.2kV @ 0.8A, 3.3kVA, HV bridge rectified, and with 25nF 25kV blocking capacitor at the output, and operated up to 3kW line input power.
4. Secondary coils with nominal fundamental series resonant frequencies of ~ 3.5Mc, 2.0Mc, and 1Mc, could be easily exchanged, tuned, and matched to the VT generator.
5. The 3.5Mc coil operated over a range of 2.4-3.3Mc, shows the fractal “fern” discharge over the entire frequency band. A tighter and denser fractal “fern” was observed across the upper parallel mode.
6. The 2.0Mc coil operated over a range from 1.5-2.3Mc, shows the fractal “fern” discharge at the upper parallel mode, and the “swords” discharge at the lower parallel mode.
7. The 1.0Mc coil operated over a range from 970kc-1.4Mc, shows the “swords” discharge over the entire frequency band.
8. The transition from fractal “fern” to “swords” occurs between 1.8-2.0Mc, where the “sword” discharge retains slight curvature until frequencies < 1.5Mc.
9. Conjecture that the variation of discharge form may result from the changing vibrational qualities within the relationship between the dielectric and magnetic fields of induction at different frequencies, and hence part of the underlying principles and mechanisms within the Wheelwork of Nature.
Best wishes,
Adrian

Hi,
I have added a sequence of new posts to my website:
The Foundation for Toltec Research
https://www.am-innovations.com/the-f...oltec-research
In the light of recent communications on the forum regarding a multidisciplinary approach to electricity and energy research, I have decided to include a new area of my website which concerns my approach to science and technology from a multidisciplinary perspective, including a review of my own esoteric/philosophical training. The purpose of this area of the website is to explain and make clear the Toltec system of knowledge that I am using to interpret the results of my experiments and research. By explaining this area in more detail I will be able to incorporate more interpretation and meaning in my experimental write-ups. I will continue to provide the same good scientific practice, measurement, and analysis in my research reporting, and which will also include a section on multidisciplinary interpretation.
My research website has so far concentrated on reporting Tesla-based experiments predominantly from the scientific and engineering disciplines, and from the perspective of good scientific method and reporting standards. In conjectures on the experimental results I have ventured a little further into the multidisciplinary interpretations that draw in certain philosophical and esoteric principles such as the “aether”, displacement and transference of electric power, and underlying inclusive and coherent principles and mechanisms. The research reported on my website so far has now reached an important point of departure, where the interpretation of the observed and measured results and phenomena must be treated with a more balanced multidisciplinary approach, taking into account both the outer scientific physical form or the exoteric, as well as the esoteric hidden inner principles, processes, and mechanisms, which can only really currently be approached through an understanding of esoteric and philosophical disciplines.
I will be continuing to develop over time, and in progressive detail, both the foundation for Toltec research and the Toltec system of knowledge, and how this system of knowledge can be applied in the understanding and development of currently diverse and disparate disciplines, and is so doing contribute to a more inclusive, inter-dependent, and life-supportive approach, and ultimately a multidisciplinary understanding of our-self, each other, and the natural world.
Best wishes,
Adrian

Eric, you have said on many occasions that you have witnessed various anomalies contrary to popular opinion one of which has been the reversal of time within the domain of electrodynamic behavior.
This is difficult for me to accept, because I suffer from the same mind virus that everyone else suffers from. Yet, I have to admit that this may be the only way to define the overunity condition of a circuit in which more energy comes out then what goes in…

And make no mistake, there are strong relationships between these disciplines, the underlying principles of life are essentially the same in all disciplines, only the form and context is different.
It would seem we are in agreement with the importance of understanding these phenomena from a physical as well as a philosophical point of view, though we may differ somewhat in the details.
It is my understanding that the tradition of natural philosophy is based on the view that both the scientific and philosophical ends of the conceptual dipole are not so much discrete quantities as they are different blind men examining the same elephant.
Regarding the question of tuning-forks, there are, perhaps, at least two ways to view the phenomena: the romantic might suggest that the tuning-forks are a manifestation of the same mechanism which draws together young lovers in the park, while the engineer may claim that it is the lovers who are behaving as the tuning-forks do.
We do seem to agree that operating frequency is at least the key marker of whichever phenomena produces the "fern" discharge. I do not mean to claim that, based on your results, we can authoritatively say whether it is the interaction of frequency with air, the aether, or some other quantity which produces the phenomena. Rather, based on my reading of your write-up it seems the only hypothesis for which I am able to find supporting evidence.
Of course there are a great many unanswered questions and these are indeed best answered through practical means, which is why I eagerly await the results of your follow-up experiment.

Hi Marcus,
It is important to understand that the purpose and emphasis that I place on my electricity and energy research is from a multi-disciplinary perspective. I have had training in both science/engineering, and also in philosophical/esoteric disciplines. These diverse and separated disciplines are as like chalk and cheese to each other in many people’s perspectives. My objective is to discover over-arching and inclusive underlying principles, mechanisms, and processes that are common in the natural world, but as yet explained differently by different disciplines. My research endeavours work towards understanding the relationship between these diverse disciplines, and hence the theories and conjectures that I make carry understanding and knowledge from different sides of the coin. And make no mistake, there are strong relationships between these disciplines, the underlying principles of life are essentially the same in all disciplines, only the form and context is different.
The principle and mechanism of the "aether" is one such example that you mention that is compatible with my approach. In general, modern science is currently only a good description of the form of the natural world, in other words the outer-world, that is what things are made-of, and how these forms interact with one-another on the outside, in short, the what, where, and the how of the physical form. Philosophical and esoteric disciplines work with the inner-world, intelligence, awareness, and the hidden knowledge and understanding, in short, the why, purpose for, and meaning of, life’s principles. I believe that both the outer (science) and the inner (esoteric) are required for a fully balanced and unified knowledge of life, and to understand our place in its grand design. In antiquity many great scientists were also philosophers, artists, healers etc. but sadly life’s complexity and obsession with only the outer form seems to have all-but silenced this multi-disciplinary exploration of life.
The experiments on my website are firstly my own journey of discovery, and secondly offered as detailed descriptions of how to do the experiment, how to design and implement them, setup the apparatus and equipment, and measure and characterise the results, with careful attention to good scientific method, practise, and reporting. This helps to clarify the "air of mystery" that appears to surround this "new energy" field, and others can see how easy it is for example, to experiment with the fractal "fern" discharge. Some may replicate or develop the experiments themselves, and then make their own interpretation of the results in any way that seems most important to them.
This is why I say in the write-up and indeed in many write-ups on my website, the interpretation and meaning that I make for the results of my experiments will not be to everyone’s liking, as I am most interested in a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding the natural world.
With my approach made clear, here is my perspective on some of the points you have raised:
To argue that one tuning-fork, which begins vibrating when placed near an identical tuning-fork which has already been set into motion, is possessed of a "shared and common purpose" with the other, does seem bold.
From the perspective of a reader of your work the obvious explanation of the observed results is that there is some fundamental aspect to the air around the coil, or to the aether, or to some other physical quantity such that the excitation at 2.7Mc results in a discharge of different shape.
Yet your discussion tends to focus on the coil design, which you yourself has stated is not the crucial factor:
I fail to understand, however, the way in which the "qualities underlying the 300kc coil" could "define .. the nature and the form of the discharge" in any way other than through their determination of the operating frequency.
Why should … the description of an LC tank circuit, produce special effects at 3Mc which are not observed at a similar circuit built for a frequency of 300kc, unless those effects are the product of some fundamental quality of the surrounding environment when the environment encounters electrical energy oscillating at 3Mc? And what grounds would we have for making such differentiation except on the basis of frequency …
Overall I am saying that both the scientific and the philosophical/esoteric disciplines are equally as important and valuable for me in understanding the experiment and observed phenomena, and in my perspective a multi-disciplinary approach is necessary in gaining a greater understanding of the fundamental principles of life and nature. I would encourage readers of my work to take that which makes sense, appeals, or is in some way useful to advancing the way each sees the world, and to leave the rest as something not of interest at this time.
Best wishes,
Adrian

As I discuss in detail in the write-up for this experiment there is a strong dependency on frequency, or rather vibration, for this phenomenon. I decided to use a very straightforward and traditional quarter-wave Tesla coil in this first part on the wheelwork of nature, with no special design features, geometry, or generator, just optimisied for good voltage magnification and hence well-defined discharge streamers. This simplifies the experiment and assists in demonstrating that the fractal "fern" phenomenon is most likely not the product of special Tesla coil design rules, or special generators or power supplies, but rather a more inherent and fundamental principle within the vibration established around the coil, and probably most related to the specific relationship between the magnetic and dielectric fields of induction at this frequency.
I am currently working on a follow-up experiment, which I will release soon, that shows clearly the transition between the regular "sword-like" streamers that dominate VTTC (vacuum tube Tesla coil) characteristics at lower frequencies, and the emergence of the fractal "fern" discharge.
Thanks for the VNA link, I will take a look at that, as I am always interested in advancements in accurate and detailed measurements.
Best wishes,
Adrian
The section on vibration escaped my notice, so you have my gratitude for advising me of it. Your explanation of resonance I find somewhat unusual:
Resonance then is depicted here as the intelligent cooperation or interaction between at least two forms vibrating with a shared and common purpose.
From the perspective of a reader of your work the obvious explanation of the observed results is that there is some fundamental aspect to the air around the coil, or to the aether, or to some other physical quantity such that the excitation at 2.7Mc results in a discharge of different shape. Yet your discussion tends to focus on the coil design, which you yourself has stated is not the crucial factor:
But it is not enough to characterise the phenomenon entirely by saying, the only parameter that matters in this experiment is the frequency at which the secondary coil was designed to resonate at, so in other words frequency could tell us how but not why Yes, the frequency of the secondary coil is important, for if another coil is made at say 300kc it will not show the fractal “fern” discharge phenomenon, so rather it is the qualities underlying the 300kc coil that define the vibration of the phenomenon, and hence the nature and the form of the discharge
Why should the "voltage accumulated on a capacitor ... transformed to current flowing in a circuit, and the storage of a magnetic field in an inductor, and back again", the description of an LC tank circuit, produce special effects at 3Mc which are not observed at a similar circuit built for a frequency of 300kc, unless those effects are the product of some fundamental quality of the surrounding environment when the environment encounters electrical energy oscillating at 3Mc? And what grounds would we have for making such differentiation except on the basis of frequency, since the geometry and materials and driving circuitry being identical eliminate the possibility that the difference lies in e.g the relationship between magnetic and dielectric fields, or some similar aspect?

Hi,
I have added a new post to my website:
Tube Power Supply – High Voltage & Plate
https://www.am-innovations.com//tube-power-supply-high-voltage-plate
In this second post on the Tube Power Supply series I present a complete design and implementation of a high voltage (HV) unit suitable for use as a high-power plate supply, and also as a general purpose high-tension source for a wide range of experiments in electricity. I use this unit extensively in my own day-to-day research for experiments in the displacement and transference of electric power. The 5kW high voltage and plate supply is based around three heavy-duty industrial 1.8kVA microwave oven transformers which can easily be inter-connected in a range of different parallel and series configurations. The transformers can be easily combined with different output stages including a bridge rectifier, level shifter (doubler), and a high voltage discharge unit, which are all incorporated into the complete housing of the supply. The complete high voltage supply is housed in a traditional varnished wooden enclosure and is designed to fit together with the other supply components in the tube power supply series.
This is the same HV power supply that I used in the first of the series on the Wheelwork of Nature - Fractal "Fern" Discharges. In the post I present all the detail in a video presentation, photo images, complete schematic diagrams, and a discussion on the principle of operation, and how to configure the supply for a wide range of different output levels and forms.
The different transformer configurations combined with the different output stages make for a very versatile, robust, and adaptable high voltage and plate supply with a fully loaded output ranging from 2.1kVRMS @ ~ 2.3A all the way up to 15kVRMS @ ~ 150mA. This very wide output range currently accommodates all of the tube amplifiers, oscillators, and impulse generators that I use in my own research, including the following examples that are used in experiments presented, or yet to be presented, on the website:
1. A basic parallel connected quad 811A linear amplifier or Hartley power oscillator, using 1.2kV plate supply and producing about 1kW of sustained output power at frequencies up to ~4Mc.
2. A parallel connected dual 833C class-C Armstrong oscillator using a 4kV plate supply and producing up to 2.5kW of sustained output power at frequencies up to ~4.5Mc.
3. A single GU5B class-C Armstrong oscillator using a 4-5kV plate supply and producing up to 2kW of sustained output power up to ~3Mc, or even using a 9kV plate supply when used in pulsed-mode with a low duty cycle.
4. A dual push-pull connected 4-400A linear amplifier using 4kV plate supply and producing up to 1kW of power up to ~5Mc.
Best wishes,

Hi Marcus,
Originally posted by Marcus Neuhof View PostThe one factor which, in your videos, appears to influence the fundamental form of the "fern" appears to be frequency. Could it be that the "fractal fern" discharge is, at least in part, a product of a Tesla coil resonant at specific frequencies, such that the 100kc to 1Mc resonances of traditional hobbyist Tesla coils fail to produce the "fractal ferm" forms simply by virtue of oscillating too slowly? And that the "fractal fern" is a specific phenomena produced when air, the aether, and/or other natural phenomena are excited in certain ways at an oscillation rate around 3.5Mc?
I am currently working on a follow-up experiment, which I will release soon, that shows clearly the transition between the regular "sword-like" streamers that dominate VTTC (vacuum tube Tesla coil) characteristics at lower frequencies, and the emergence of the fractal "fern" discharge.
Thanks for the VNA link, I will take a look at that, as I am always interested in advancements in accurate and detailed measurements.
Best wishes,
Adrian

Part 1 of the video experiment demonstrates and includes aspects of the following:
1. Introduction to the wheelwork of nature experimental series based on Nicola Tesla’s famous quotation, and Eric Dollard’s original “fern” discharge experiment.
I have finished the two videos accompanying your post. I must admit that, rather than resolving my confusion over the technical conditions which produced your remarkable results, they have only deepened it.
Your experimental apparatus appears to be a powerful and particularly well designed rendition of the classical quarter-wave resonant Tesla coil, as built by so many electrical experimenters. Whilst my notes are no longer to be found, I do believe the last such "hobbyist" coil which I built was conceptually identical to your circuit, though with the use of transistors instead of vacuum tubes, and considerably less power. However the use of vacuum tubes is no novelty among hobbyist Tesla coil builders, and had I continued that line of investigation it is likely I would have built a system with similar tubes as you use.
It is therefore somewhat surprising to see your apparatus producing the remarkable "fractal fern" discharge. If all that was required to produce this discharge was a 1/4 wave tuned secondary, as you seem to feel in the second video, then the fern discharge would be a staple observation among Tesla hobbyists. Yet my apparatus, and those of thousands of others, failed to manifest this discharge.
It also seems unlikely that your set-up is producing a specific resonant mode which leads to the "fractal fern". Your demonstrations of the coil system at various resonant modes, all producing the "fern," show clearly enough that it manifests at many different modes.

P.S.: as convenient as the traditional grid dip meter may be, you may find it of interest to experiment with the "modern" version of this device, a handheld vector network analyser with broadband antenna:
