Re: [TCML] Rectifying A Tesla Coil: Point-Plane Collector Experiments -works!



7. The sparks when things are erratic are really interesting in appearance. For me, this makes the test worth while. They are unlike any other I've seen from any machine. http://www.electrotherapymuseum.com/2008/PointPlaneCollectors1/StrangeSparks3.jpg This in person was really bizarre!

	Surprised Antonio hasn't had something to say. If I understand the "bizarreness" you mention you are just seeing sparks for both polarities of the spheres - white and bright at one end and fuzzy and purple at the other.  Very easy to say with an electrostatic generator and I'm pretty sure there are illustrative pictures on Antionio's pages.  You can see the same effect with an induction coil producing a [relatively unipolar] output.  I sent some pictures of same to Terry a while back in connections with a description of a little GMHEI coil driver I have here.  Posted at:

Pictures don't show as much contrast as I see with discharges between 2" spheres excited by my DIROD but effect is similar and similar to your pictures.

Of course maybe you're talking about some other feature of the sparks...................
