Re: [TCML] Advanced design of a vandegraaf generator for Tesla apparatus



I remember seeing a diagram of the nozzle. It's a venturi system that creates a vacuum in the mushroom shaped topload. It's identical to an infinity jet used for gold dredges, but instead of water it uses air. (an internal mix air brush is also an example) The mercury vapor is created in the center and is electrostatically accelerated to the nozzle. Kind of like a reverse fusor.

It would probably work for targets across a room, but not for longer ranges. Just too much air in the way. Though, if you have a streamer issuing from the nozzle, it may increase the range by creating a vacuum path due to heating. It might also make for a really long streamer.
