Without going very deeply into a description of the apparatus used by M. Tesla in his experiments with electricity at high voltage, and which have been recently described in the "E. M.," it will be...

The use of the oil is to insure good insulation. Even if a leak momentarily occurs in the coil, the oil oozes in and restores the insulation. The object of the jar is to increase the number of...

[1133.] — Tesla Coils. — I know of no book treating solely on this subject. In my "Electrical Instrument Making for Amateurs you will find directions for making two forms, along with good constructive...

[87665.] — Tesla Coil. — In No. 97, April, 1892, of the Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, "Max" will find the report of Count Tesla's lecture at the Royal Institution on "Experiments...

[89.] — TESLA COIL. — You will get better results by using a greater number of turns on an increased length of core. Of course, if you insulate every layer carefully, you may wind on several layers...

According to statements recently published, the Röntgen rays are now declared, by M. Nikola Tesla, to be material particles. M. Tesla states that the electrical conditions within the tube from which...

[89311.] — Tesla Coil. — Provided you do not use a higher battery-power on your coil itself than you have usually employed, the presence of the Tesla transformer will not affect your coil in the...

[39398.] — Tesla Coil. — No, to both queries. If your coil works badly, the Tesla will do worse. With a good steady running coil, the Tesla, as it increases the voltage, and also the oscillation...

[78.] TESLA COIL. — I should use the larger and longer tubes, and wind the wires with air space between them if possible, to avoid "shorting." I have not found any appreciable difference between good...

[90743.] — Tesla Apparatus. — As I have used this apparatus many times for X-ray work, I can give “H. B.” (query 90743) the information he asks for. Working off the main with a transformer and Tesla...
