Working on the shell condenser

Getting the form Right The raw FRP ( Fiberglass Reinforced Polyester) shell form needs to be repaired and trued before the actual condenser can be created. Due to working alone there are starved areas in the FRP where there is not enough polyester resin to float the fiberglass. These white streaks are weak areas and [...]

Primary driver

Primary Coil Driver Primary Coil Driver The primary coil driver set is assembled and ready to go. Left to right, Ganged condenser to drive the primary coil, spark gap attached to aluminum heat sink, chokes for suppression of back EMF to protect the neon transformer and most important part an OFF switch! see spark gap [...]

Condenser / Sparkgap test

Condenser / Spark gap test   Main condenser Top picture is of main condenser, spark gap and neon transformer. This test of the main condenser was its’ first “smoke test” to see if my design would function as planed. Condenser is made up of aluminum foil lined PET plastic jars set up similar to Leyden [...]

More Aether

More Aether _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was asked for a better explanation of the characteristics of aether. H/T to Pascvaks “why would one think that aether has charge” so I will attempt to expand on that point. During the early days of research on electrical phenomena, over distance, aether (ether) was the accepted explanation. Various experimenters attempted [...]

History of my flat spiral coil

Post about origin of my Flat wound Tesla coil  History and details of this device. This Tesla Coil was created in 1994 as the base of my first test device. A spiral of 14 gauge copper magnet wire was welded onto a deck of half inch polypropylene with over a mile of  5/32 polypropylene rod, [...]

PG’s Experiment

A  HIGH VOLTAGE  experimental to attempt to confuse inertia/mass with rich magnetic fields that move in 3 dimensions. This is a paper skin over a light wood frame. It has been covered with FRP ( fiberglass reinforced polyester) and will be covered with a metal foil skin. Under the disk is a flat wound Tesla [...]
