Hi Terry,
I just asked Bob if he ever tried feeding the third coil
inductively with the cold end grounded without the connection to the 51
feet secondary and he said he remembers trying that but not expecting
much to happen because of the loose coupling. He said that it did
nothing, not anything at all.
He said you could almost "just walk around in there" the distance was so
great. (regarding coupling).
Cool! I think it would have been terribly out of tune. We will have to
see how the wire connected system would have worked with secondary to third
coil coupling... Perhaps the coupling would have "boosted" the third
coil... Have to see...
So there you are, that is not the issue.
It would blow my mind if Tesla overlooked a coil phasing problem, if there
was one, unless he wanted the fields to buck for some coupling issue I
don't see or if the 21 feet spacing was not an issue.
I bet Tesla tried all the phasings a lot!! So will we ;-))
I have no idea what his floor or under his floor at CS was like as
compared to Wendover or how high above actual ground he was in his
building at CS. Is that documented? We do know roughly how far Wendover
was above ground, plus it had metal roof and walls.
I think Tesla had no metal in his CS structure.
I know Bob went through at least 5 generations of gaps at Wendover and the
coil did OK in the Building but prior to that it ran terrible out on the
salt flats, got flooded, etc.
Fascinating!!! The wet salt probably stole much of his coil's
power... The hanger floor out there is probably pretty dry
underneath... Leadville was probably fairly wet ground. If he could have
raised it all 100 feet in the air :-)))))
Cheers,
Terry
That is why he got the hangar, to get off the salt flats and problems out
there.
