Hello all,



Just like every Tesla Coiler I love to make the big sparks, but I am
really more interested in broadcasting electrical energy. I have
built a receiver coil with a variable capacitor and tuned it to my
Tesla Coils resonate frequency (about 200kHz). It can light two small
incandescent 14 volt bulbs from 5 to 6 feet away. Is anyone else
working on something like this!?



Thanks

Mark Barlow

Hi Mark,

Almost everyone has done some variation of this at some early time in their coiling lives. After a while, those who do the math realize that it's about as efficient as using an industrial laser as a cigarette lighter. If you check the list archives, you will find hundreds of hours of reading on so-called wireless energy transmission. If you are close to an AM broadcasting tower, you can run a tiny motor off of a crystal radio, but the efficiency really sucks.
