Yes I agree a 1 K resistor is no comparison to the earth but it will tell you if the transfer is happening through the wire or the air. If the resistor gets warm or hot and the transmission still happens you're in buisiness I think.
I dare say you have a better ground connection than I do. But i'm working on that.
about the core doco's I watched the first one which was really interesting, so I downloaded the second but it had no audio for me. So I'll check how much bandwidth I have left to use and download the entire thing, during off peak if I have to.
Do you have an identical cap on the output coil as the one on the transmitter primary ? I found without it I got very little. Then I found if I could adjust it a bit could hit the sweet spot as far as sympathetic resonating goes. It makes a huge difference.
I think you've done very well with the spirals, and the spark gap, I should clarify my thoughts on this point. I don't think there is anything wrong with a spark gap. And in fact for very high frequency coils I think it is probably the only option or at least the cheapest simplest and best. Without a micro controller I have no idea how one would go about pulsing a coil at a few Mhz without a spark gap. I just wanted to use solid state and as low a frequency as I needed to use solid state switches (in the way I know how). And I think with frequencies low enough to use the ground a spark gap is even less necessary.
It is very handy being able to use the scope to see the wavefrom from the Toroid while I tune. Almost too easy.
Good for learning because I can see the effect of what I do on the scope aswell as the output. Which I don't think is easily possible when using a spark gap, but with tuned coils not such a problem, I am forcing resonance a little bit.
Oh the plate 'P' is a different system. It can be 100% free energy.

Basically it can harvest atmospheric potential and cosmic particle/ray energy as far as I can tell. Another reason I need a really really good ground connection to the Earth. With a Tesla coil in the room it should get some radiation or something maybe, for testing purposes.

I don't really know what's going on there. I agree there should be what you say, but at the moment there's certainly no spark gap voltage there. I can get small sparks when I short it, but nothing spark gappish.

I also need to setup a Plate 'P' radiant energy collector far enough from the coils to only get a bit of energy so I can try to work out the best way to use them, with Tesla coil nearby at least it is garanteed to work so I have somewhere to work from to improve how I do it and I can work inside. People are interested in the radiant energy collectors, me especially
Is that the quarter wavelength tuning thing I mentioned earlier?

And when struck the lightning can sometimes travel through the ground and cause damage to things, by having a good connection to the ground. If two separated (by a distance) earth stakes were both connected to the same house then a strike could cause problems.
I wonder why they use 60 Hz in some places and 50 in others, maybe because the earths frequency is slightly different in different places or something.
And stole the end too.
