Tesla's Magnifying Transmitter - Everything YAWtKbWAtA

(that is "You Always Wanted to Know but Were Afraid to Ask", but you knew that of course)

For a limited time (I guess 1-2 weeks) you can get this book on Amazon.

It summarizes the results of my project; Finding out what a Magnifying Transmitter was, what it was supposed to do and how, and if it would have worked.

As I said it will probably be available for a short while now and then re-appear around the end of this year. If you want to be ahead of the game, you'll need to act QUICK.

The reason for this time limited offer is that we are still discussing if this is the right time to tell the "scientific society", which it probably isn't. But we want some copies printed for ourselves and a select few for a variety of reasons.
I wanted to give us "hobbyists" a chance to be part of that select few.

So.... the ball is in your court...

Looks like Afrikaans to me.

@ quantumfanatic,

What language is that?
I am Dutch and you are using Dutch misspelled words but... I can't make heads or tails of that... If you do not understand me neither, that may indicate a language problem?

Mr Ernst,
Thank you for sharing with us. I sent you a PM.
Regards.

I think you are referring to a magnetically quenched spark-gap?
If so, there are two reasons why I did not use it:
- the problem was that I could not get enough resonance in the coils with very short and widely separated pulses. Quenching the spark, breaks the spark into many shorter sparks and may lengthen the overall spark activity a little. That "little" would most likely not suffice.
- my experience with magnetically quenched spark-gaps is not very good. If a high current is interrupted in this manner you will get very high induction effects in your circuit, meaning very high voltage spikes. I have killed many a MOT with this. Now I am using 30 KW transformers that can handle a much higher voltage but will also produce a much higher current. Well, what it comes down to is that I do not want to risk loosing these transformers.

What is there for "the community" to do?
As I have already explained in this thread, it would be wonderful is someone could help me verify the down-scaled version. That may actually result in you having your own power plant.
The other thing people could do is absorb this idea, this view on electricity, and imagine what it would mean and in what ways it would result in different effects than predicted by current electro dynamics theories. That way you could achieve two things:
- prove Tesla's view is the correct view
- you may come up with an invention of your own
(or both)

I am proceeding in two directions:
- verification of the down-scaled version
- upgrading my circuits for CW-operation

On the first I can say that 20W does not seem enough to produce a sufficiently high voltage, so we will try to upgrade it to 180W.
On the second, that we now have a 100 KVA diesel generator. We have the power, but many things need reconfiguring.

Thanks Ernst for your answer.

You are a Dutch guy aren't you? I saw your link to the next document to read named 'verslag HV.pdf'. Well me too.

Will study that document of course. Thanks for that. I just browsed quickly over it already. Did you also consider using a strong magnet (as Tesla did) instead of the pan flute?

I now know this Earth Resonance Frequency will be hard to do.
So yes your answer helps me getting the picture... which is pretty big.

So what would you recommend as the next step for us as a community to advance on this topic?

[Ernst]

here.

(sorry to answer with so much more to read)

Does that help?


Ernst.

[pjotterkjen]

Next step?

Ernst,

I have seen your video; I have read your 66 page document; and I have read most of the comments of this thread. All with great interest. Especially
the document needs more profound reading, because it is a hefty one to consume. So that I have lying ahead of me.

I do think that with your work we're able to drive some specific testing with measurable and replicable results.

That at least is my hope, and I know of many many more people dream the same dream on this planet as I am. A world where energy flows abundantly and freely, for everyone accessible no matter our location.

We need to make this dream a reality as soon as possible. Mega-companies, corrupt leaders and greedy politicians are making a mess of everything and are destroying our planet because of their ever growing greed and blindness.

So, how would you propose to advance together on this important topic?

I personally would like to build a test circuit to verify and explore the Earth Resonance Frequency. I assume you would be able to help with that?

Thanks for all you have done so far, and keep up the good work!

It does seem like it would produce an unidirectional pulse. Tesla does mention "stopping reversals" although not necessarily in connection with his mercury controllers. I might?! still be able to get mercury out of old thermostats. But yes Sputens it would have to be an engineering masterpiece to be safe for testing!!

[Sputins]

True. Tesla did not use them as a continuous current rectifier. I only included that link to explain how mercury can and is used as a diode.

This type of Tesla's circuit controllers used a rotating wheel inside with slots that would either block or allow the flow of mercury from the jets to the pool of mercury as explained in the patents.

So this type of controller was a circuit interrupter similar to a rotating spark gap that used a pool of mercury in the same way a diode would be used today to obtain unidirectional pulses that could carry high voltage and high current. Keep in mind that Tesla was always working on systems for industrial scale power. I'm certainly not aware of any solid state devices that can handle megawatts of power as a mercury based device can.

By varying the size of the slots and blocks in the rotating wheel he could alter the duty cycle. And changing the speed of the rotating wheel with the slots and blocks he could vary the frequency of the makes and breaks.

[Jeff Pearson]

Where would we get a mercury interrupter to experimentally test this?? Would probably have to fabricate one. Off subject but Tesla recommends the insulated metal plate in his radiant energy patents be alloyed with mercury also.

That is an interesting thought. But if you look (wiki) at how and why a mercury arc rectifier works (low pressure, and a carbon anode) you will see that Tesla's circuit controllers (high pressure, mercury stream) will not rectify the current.

Tesla mostly used AC. In his time there were no diodes. But in his more advanced work he used a commutator to change it into DC.

Tesla had several patents for circuit controllers that used mercury. It turns out that a pool of mercury only allows current to travel in one direction and it can handle quite high voltages and currents - powers ranging from kilowatts up to a few megawatts, at voltages ranging from 110V to 30KV. They have been used up until very recently in high power radio stations. They may still be in use but I'm not sure about that.

Two of the seven Tesla patents that I found:
TESLA PATENT 611,719 - 1897
TESLA PATENT 613,735 - 1898

some more

Your questions are a little bit outside the scope of this thread, but I will briefly answer them.
This thread is about:
- what is Tesla's Magnifying Transmitter
- how and where did Tesla describe it
- how does it generate (and distribute) power
The distribution part is more or less general knowledge, but not yet accepted by "modern science".

Do you personally think from your experiments pulsed DC is better than HVAC to create the spark discharges across the primary.

With DC you'll have a more controlled/controllable system, even when it is pulsed.
I prefer DC, or rather rectified AC (which comes in pulses).

does he mention anything regards to pulsed HVDC or AC.

Tesla mostly used AC. In his time there were no diodes. But in his more advanced work he used a commutator to change it into DC.

Have you experienced any such effects or am I just psychosomatic looking for scalar waves or longitudinal ether waves? or is there a more common explanation to the skin stinging feeling.

In this video my safety gap fired at 1'23". This was one of the most energetic events that I have witnessed from about 1m distance. It was not a stinging effect but a clearly noticeable push away from the event.
A stinging sensation is felt when you get too close to my coils while they are active. It is like a warning, saying "do not come closer!".
Also when you short a car battery with an iron wire (copper does not work) which you hold in your hand (preferably between your fingertips), sometimes a stinging sensation can be felt.

The term scalar wave is a bit weird. You can not have a wave without motion, you can not have motion without direction, so a wave can not be scalar. Only a field can be scalar.
Also a wave implies an energy exchange between two states, usually one state is a form of potential energy, the other a form of kinetic energy. Kinetic implies motion, motion implies direction etc...

Dr Konstantin Meyl's scalar wave kit.

I do not know what Meyl's game is, but I am not playing it. His practical work is full with wrong assumptions and overlooked facts and his math is downright sloppy. I do not understand how he could become "prof. dr. ing.", his work would look bad on high school students, and I am not going to discuss it here.
On the 1.5 times the speed of light as quoted from Tesla. This originates from his calculations of an electrical signal through the Earth. This signal travels as if it travels in a straight line through the centre of the Earth with a constant velocity equal to c. This means that the effects on the surface of the Earth travel with a varying velocity, infinite at the poles and c at the equator. The average velocity is pi/2 (about 1.57) times c as a bit of simple math will quickly reveal.
