Anyone here ever played around with Tesla coils?  |

|  | I'm a tumbler, born under punches | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Northern California | | One of my old colleagues (a chemistry teacher) was part of a team that did summer demonstrations for Flynn Scientific. One of the guys he worked with would put a handheld Tesla coil in the back of his pants so the tip was touching the small of his back. Then he'd pick up one of the long fluorescent tubes, lighting it up in his hands.
I did a number of semi-dangerous demonstrations in class, but there's no way I'd have 50,000 Volts course through my body for a cool trick.  |

Especially regenerative electric circuits, and resonant frequencies... |

Anyone make a Tower yet? |

And contrary to microwave radars back then, this technology won't fry passing birds.

| While Tesla did some amazing things involving resonance, knowledge of resonant frequencies is centuries old. Particularly Galileo's work on pendulum resonance.
Regenerative electrical circuits have been used for nearly a hundred years now. Not to mention the principles behind them understood for nearly the same length of time.
Nikola Tesla was a genius and his contributions to science and technology incredible (such as AC current and the radio). But these aren't mysterious effects.

for example;
The Tesla Oscillator - there were "rumors" that this could be used to bring down buildings.
Wireless Power transmission...
Tesla Teleforce weapon,
Many of his later patent applications were confiscated by the government  ... and there are very few details about them... interesting... |
