Re: SSTC design procedure

Hello Group:

I'm new to the Tesla world, and I have a question:  I've heard the subject
of the famous Tesla Coil so much in the past few years, yet I have no
understanding of it's practicality.  The information I have seems to
indicate that it's simply a device that gives a blue light and can knock you
off your feet and into the next world if something goes wrong.

My question, is the power of the coil controllable as a power source?

Is it just a hobby thing to pour money into so that you have  a "Tesla Coil"
Or is there a practical use of this coil.  We live two miles from the Grid
in far north Idaho and a practical coil or fuelless power source would be a
boon and saviour for those of us dependent on solar systems that only work
during summer months and gas hog generators.

Any information on this would be appreciated.  We have plans for fuelless
engine, but so far have not the whatever to build it, but it is a ongoing
hope.  Any information on this coil and its practicality will be
appreciated.


Thanks all,

Lewis Jenkins
