[TCML] Why Was Tesla’s 1899 Colorado Springs Magnifying Transmitter Never Fully Developed for Full Power?



Hello everyone!  I’m a very long time “listener” and found this forum to be such a broad wealth of information.  So, I thought I’d submit my first post.

Among my greatest interests is Tesla’s development of his coils from 1891 to the shutdown of Wardenclyffe in 1906.

Within that timeline, I have wondered what Tesla would have to have done to operate his magnifier at full power with his 142 foot “structure of iron pipes” connected?  There are surely many obstacles that he would have had to overcome & perhaps that’s part of the reason (besides blowing through his available cash) why he never returned.  

FYI, my library includes the Colorado Springs Notes, Richard Hull’s excellent work, “The Tesla Coil Builders Guide to the Colorado Springs Notes of Nikola Tesla,” and John Ratzlaff & Fred Jost’s “Tesla / Scherff Colorado Springs Correspondence” all of which I’ve studied for years.

Any thoughts on this subject will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Bill Fox
