 In this video we see the figure 1 from the notes I have shown above.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVUN3GsekKQ


 The notes being here again:

http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/tesla/coloradonotes/coloradonotes04.htm


 This mixed with figure 17 0f this document shows a majority of the system together.

http://www.tfcbooks.com/tesla/1892-02-03.htm

 What i get from this is that each end of the transformer is connected to a very high self capacitance bifilar coil. When the primary is oscillated it will oscillate between the bifilar coils. If the primary is bifilar as well it should be pingable into a ground or virtual ground and ring between the bifilar extra coils. If you put cores in the bifilars it should be stronger and an additional outlet in the form of a heavy magnetic event will make the disks he used to rotate like shown in the video and in figure 17. Hooking the bifilar coils so that both disks rotate in the same direction depending on the position of the charged cap in the bifilar extra coil a or b. The ground in case of a coreless transformer of the primary would donate additional charge from the ground into the secondary as well.

 This grounding method was also tested by TK in the back yard video here and a few other methods added like the figure one transformer from the Colorado notes.

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zURkxC0quAY

 I told you guys TK was reproducing Tesla's experiments almost to the T.  Yes he tried to hide the method to an extent but any decent researcher would see the parallels TK used to Tesla's experiments.

 The question now is if the man who made our current system really did find a way to transform and magnify the energy he supplied to kickstart the process and actually find a way to loop the system. This was actually done using the rectifier, battery and inverter system of TK's. By transforming the DC to AC then using that to time the impulses into a coil making a perfect copy only boosted by the ground flow in the middle of that transformer then using the excess AC to power the loads to a second ground. By the way thats also where the AC gets rectified to loop back to the inverter if the battery is disconnected. The inverter has enough capacitance to run the system for a little bit.
 It looks to me like a transistor of sorts using ground currents to sustain itself. Ground loops can be very heavy. One end of the ground loop only inductively connects and this is enhanced by the spark system impulsed at the same frequency as the transformer is operating on. The transformer being an air core. the heavy blue coiled one. The neat thing about it is the hv sparks cn be sunted to a ground to increase the flow of current it seems in this one. I really reminds me of a tube without the tube and vacuum. Quite interesting indeed.

 In this version he takes the impulses into an emitter coil In the middle and induces the impulses to each coil but because they are oriented in different positions around the emitter it delays the action of each coil so they are out of phase of each other. This is due to the emitter coils geometry and the nature of impulses traversing that coil geometry.

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKzXTAJJsbM

 Just throw the coils into a load then to ground. I would think the 3 coils are all terminated to each other in a 3 way fashion. Maybe... I'm not entirely sure yet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_capture
 


   The electron avalanches produced in extremely high voltage fields may well be the result of K-capture.  This is when a K orbital electron is captured by the nucleus.   If the nucleus has an abundance of protons the capture will convert a proton to a neutron,emit a neutrino and leave an isotope of the next element to the left in the periodic table.  The electrons in the outer orbitals will fill the hole in the k orbital and emit a photon in the xray spectrum.  Tesla was experimenting in what one could call high voltage fields.  Producing many an avalanche.  A fairly new discovery is that run of the mill lighning storms produce gamma and xray photons.  This is a sure indication that something nuclear is going on in the clouds.  I wonder if Tesla at some point in his research became aware of nuclear reactions induced in the gases surounding his coils.  I would think that the probability of K-capture would be greatly enhance by the initial ionization and susequent acceleration of electrons donated by gasses finding themselves near the top load capacitors on his transformers.

Here is one more figure to look at. It is the Fig. 6 of »Lecture No. 27«: The Physics of the 'Magic' Capacitor, by Harold Aspden, Our Future Energy Source - The Vacuum!

Quote from »Lecture No. 27«:

»Here I show a section of a concentric capacitor. That aether motion I mentioned is now not linear motion but rotary motion confined between the capacitor electrodes and so, when the capacitor voltage is reduced, that motion will have inertia and not dissipate by collisions which feed energy back into the enveloping aether. Instead, it will try to sustain the electric displacement, meaning that it will deploy its energy into the release of electrical energy which can be drawn from the capacitor.«


So the question: If that works then how could Kapanadze (and others) came across such a capacitor accidentally? The answer can be seen in the illustration below. The inner (primary) and the outer (secondary) coils of a three-phase transformer are forming exactly such a capacitor like depicted in Figure 6.


Quote from »Secrets of the Aether«:

»If we wanted to produce energy from the Aether, we would produce photons between strong charges. The ideal configuration would be strong charges arranged in a spherical form [a cylindrical form would be more convenient to handle, A/N]. Two spherical objects (of strong charge) held a certain distance apart produce a capacitance. The ratio of the spherically arranged strong charge to capacitance determines the amount of energy that results.«

»However, since electricity is a quantum process, with photons and electrons of a specific magnitude, the spherical objects must adhere to a specific design and position to produce a specific capacitance. When properly tuned, the Aether between the plates will resonate and generate photons, which can directly convert to electrons via the photoelectric effect.«


And therefore now we do know the meaning of Guntis' cryptic message »all magic happens "Between coils"«.

Thus thinking sharply: Didn't we see such a capacitor somewhere before? Of course we did. Here it is: The Zero Point Energy Rotor

So what about a drum roll please? Because on December 31, 2013 I was already close to this. But precautionally no one replied to that post straightly.

The one component which Kapanadze makes himself is the secret component that makes his device work. No-one knows what it is except Kapanadze.

Finally we also know what the secret is!! That's for sure!!

And as a mere coincidence Kapanadze's Sadolin tin can is also round in shape, outside grounded! What suggests, that it is not really necessary to have high voltage coils forming the capacitor.

But I still think that it is necessary to experiment with a frequency doubler (diode bridge) because otherwise - with single frequency only - a lot of people working with transformers would have discovered this effect in the past already.

Apropos »round in shape«: Ever wondered why that Steven Marks device is round in shape? Now we also know. Since that toroid contains just the circular capacitor plates, it can be safely dismantled by means of a jigsaw and we will actually see nothing.

Here my latest test video, yet without a special round capacitor. The capacitance here is just created by the coils next to each other, not within of each other. Second-Harmonic Resonance, maybe it works to some degree.

»Could it perhaps be that the principle of work (the secret) of this device has something to do with a so-called asymmetric capacitor?« No reply. Answer should be Yes!

OK. What would be the simplest way to construct such a round capacitor? Could we take a metallic cylinder an then wrap it with a coil? Perhaps like that we can see in the D-1943 video (see image below)? And this is not the only video we can see that kind of large coils.

By the way: Why are flying saucers round? - do we know?

Regards and happy resonating 8)

 Yeah capacitance has a bunch to do with this. Shuttling the charge back and forth between the plates and inducing a Pulsed DC component from that process via bifilar coils.

 The figure one from the Colorado notes could also have a bifilar primary to reduce the bemf effect to the source.

 The capacitance in his tower was on the above ground terminal to the ground terminal. One plate always being 0 and the other due to elevated potentials being 100v per meter high.

 When the one plate gets enough potential gathered a bulb of plasma should be attracted to it and increase the umph when shorted to ground via the spark gap to ground through the coils.
 The place to pick off extra energy is the self shorted coil and cap or even a self terminated bifilar choke as shown in his technical writings Pulling charge from that would be simply opening that bifilar choke and draining the energy from the increased capacitance of the bifilar in a pulsed method.

 The tower is simply a capacitor just like our planet has a capacitor in it's design. One plate being the ionosphere and the other being the earth. The coils between the cap must extend the one plate (top plate) virtually higher up and this pulls the plasma down from the atmosphere. Once you get the plasma down to the plate you can funnel it through the coils and into the ground where it wants to be. To the plasma the ground is a vacuum. This is due to matter displacing the plasma field in the earth.

 Time it right and it should act like this kind of sprinkler:

 https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fecx.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2F51KVelwmxfL.jpg&f=1

 As for TK devices, well he was only verifying the Tesla process, this usually involved a ground connection and a way to stimulate the process to start.

 Just a simple question for you guys. How is it we can draw energy from a battery or capacitor from the + and negative but we can't seem to draw energy from the positive and negative of the Sun replenishing earth capacitor? We can and we could have essentially free energy to power our civilization. The one problem is the powers that be. They don't want us to be equal. Money is the great divider of people and the great suppressor of the very thing that can free us. It's all there. We just need the courage to go and reap the harvest waiting for us.

 We know one thing now that this earth and the effects we see from this capacitor's discharges drive the weather we see today. This means that if we could siphon off some energy flowing towords the ground that we could change the weather to a more pleasant level. We are now sure that the Sun and it's solar wind are driving this mechanism. If we tapped that mechanism and take off energy then what effect would you think would be the result? Take energy out of the system would do what? Lessen the strength of the effects of that system right?

 Below is the explanation of how Tesla wanted to use this potential difference caused by the Sun and our Earth.

 Look at the bottom section. A solenoid going into a bifilar coil with a solenoid wrapped around the bifilar coil. Plus with that action shorting to ground it would allow communication to any device Tesla made to receive such ground impulses.

 This is his Niagara Falls example. Find a flow and harness that flow to generate energy and transmit intelligence via that process. The way you open and close the shorted solenoid around the Bifilar dictates the flow of energy through this system and you can attach intelligence in that process as well via the ground as a single terminal electrode.

 Does anyone remember the lifter experiments? Why would you think Tesla designed a heavy anchor points for the legs of this tower? As the system charges up and the top cap plate reacts to the potential differences it tries to move towords the higher potential of the plasma above it. Essentially this would fly away or lift towards the higher potential of the plasma above it. Remember plasma is conductive to the higher potentials and gets attracted to that higher potential. Tesla described the center mast to ground was to better grip the earth. As well going deeper in the earth would increase the negative potential as much as going higher away from ground increases the positive potential. This will also increase the potential difference as well between the two plates of this capacitor and should increase the energy output at the Shorted cap and coil around the bifilar going to ground.

 My best guess is that to start the process all you need to do is short the spark gap momentarily at position E. Once it is started all you would need is a spark gap system at the takeoff point or cap G position. This would open and close the magnetic clutch Coil C at the breakdown frequency of the takeoff point G as the cap G is discharged across the spark gap not shown. That would open the magnetic clutch and allow the system to ground itself and cause a great current flow though B', B and bifilar coil A and across the ground spark gap. This would charge up coil C and a magnetic field would be built up restricting the flow to ground. This is the oscillator section.

 The take off circuit is at G and governed by the spark gap distance and used in the regular method Tesla used for impulses. Lighting and single wire motor could be used there or a regular transformer fed with impulses would convert the impulses to AC for traditional systems to use in the method Tesla has shown to a capacitance or virtual ground.

 I had the opportunity to get a pdf that kinda explains this process and I took out what I think is an accurate depiction of the whole Tesla system and I also modified it with additional Tesla patented schematics. See what you think about these.

 The first schem is from the pdf explaining Tesla's descriptions. The second is using actual Tesla methods.

 I made one mistake with the hybred tower. The Tap coil should have a bifilar coil then connect to the cap ball at the end or left open with no mass capacitor( you would probably need a wire out still like a straight whip antenna), just to the left of the NS magnetic spark gap. The secondary is a heavy solenoid around the bifilar primary. This is solely to getting two pulses out of the solenoid as the impulses travel around the bifilar coils. Or could even strengthen the push through reinforcement of the impulse to ground or an antenna. I have not experimented in this direction yet but it is on the agenda.

 Of course the original method as Tesla gave to the bankruptcy court should be examined to see what the effects are as well. That is the first picture. That picture was reproduced by me but the original was from the Tesla museum in Belgrade, the book was named "Colorado Springs to Long Island notes".

 When we look at my second picture you get two very important data points.

 The 20Kv on the top cap is not paid for by us.
 The -15Kv on the ground connection is not paid for by us.

 Both are essentially free just like the Niagara Falls analogy and facts about that generating system. The Tower would be needed to transmit the energy harvested from our surrounding environment to people but the generating from those potentials like in the Niagara falls analogy would essentially be done via a flow that could be harnessed in our environment now.

 A portable version is also available via a virtual ground system loop.

 The plasma is the conductor of our reality we call space. It is everywhere and in everything to degrees. It is highly dynamic in density only. It responds to electrical stimulation and forms the magnetic field which is an organized movement of plasma flows. When we excite matter the plasma flows into matter and the surrounding environment around the matter and increases the energy of that matter via this increased conductance via plasma. It is the reason that matter expands when heated and shrinks when cooled.

 Just some thoughts...

That's an error in reasoning. Because space is »Nothing« by definition, it means »empty room«. But »Nothing« can't have any properties. It's logically not possible.


Well you exist in space as well.
Are you >>Nothing<< ??

No more to say about my preceding statements?

The correct answer should be, clotted/solidified aether, I'm made of.

jbignes5, where can I see a tower acting like a capacitor pulling down plasma from the ionosphere in a Kapanadze video?

But here I can see three more concentric »magic« capacitors in action. Since the sparks of the (eye-candy) Tesla coils can hit those capacitors safely, each of them must have a ground connection. Further more, each of the three yellow output wires is connected directly to one of those capacitors. Conclusion?

Just one more item for the collection: the Hendershot generator. There are two concentric (magic) capacitors each surrounded by a coil. Simply placing an ordinary factory-made capacitor in the center of the coil will do nothing. So we know for sure that this  demonstration has to be fake. Same nonsense here and here (and others). The genuine Hendershot generator worked not because of those fancy wound basket weave coils but because of the homemade concentric capacitor plates inside. Stunning.

 Kapanadze Was reproducing Tesla's other methods and devices. The tin can was not anything but an oil filled transformer. That special one from the Speech.

 Does this look familiar?

 5. is the best example of the Turkey showing. It's only a partial reveal of the proper system.

 Let me ask you this? What are sparks and arcs? Plasma is all around us. Discharges are proof of that. But Tesla knew that he was condensing plasma in his earlier systems. What he needed to do was condense this plasma around the free terminal of his oscillator increasing the plasma density and magnifying all energy transfers in the process. Also if you could keep the plasma condensed it would allow more plasma to gather and eventually allow a better flow of plasma into the ground where it wants to be. Plasma doesn't like to be displaced and that is what matter does. Plasma flows into our globe and it's origin is from our Sun. Why shouldn't we be able to condense or pressurize plasma and allow it to go to where it wants to be (ground). Why shouldn't we be able to harness that flow?

 These other explorations of Tesla's work was to prove he was going in a direction and where that was leading him. Each experiment was a step to the ultimate understanding Tesla figured out about our world. Each phase was directed twords an aspect of understanding what induction is and how to harness it for our use.

Yes, jbignes5, something looks familiar, but in a rather concentric way.

Here more candidates for our collection »free energy by concentric (magic) capacitors«.

Candidate one: Searl Effect Generator - Wikipedia, the censored encyclopedia, (deleted due to ignorance)

Searl Effect Full Disclosure, it works with concentric rings and ionized air? Sounds also familiar.

Btw, also censored on wikipedia: Testatika

Since these censored pages are still retrievable on archive.org, surely it won't hurt anyone if they were also still available on wikipedia.org, will it?

Candidate two: The Hubbard Coil. The statement »extract power from radium« is pure nonsense. Because »extracting electrical energy directly from the air« was hard to believe by some, he had to make something up more »plausible«. Since the Hubbard coil/transformer obviously runs on high voltage (step-up transformer), there is clearly more going on than just generating magnetic fields by means of a couple of coils.

But what about the Moray Device? Unfortunately we can't see what's inside the Moray device - or can we? If the image below is authentic, then it shows Moray's 100W device. Here again we have two cylinders looking like wire wrapped round metallic tubes, resulting in two concentric capacitors - and an additional coil on the right-hand side - fitting surprisingly Harold Aspden's figure 7. All coincidence, or could that Moray device be the candidate number three?

Anyhow, it is evident that each device that taps the aether energy makes use of concentric capacitor arrangements. Amazing.

The heavy winding at the bottom with the cap G and the coil C look to be just an isolated LC.  I may be wrong.

Mags

Its strange.  Just looking at the depiction of the tower, if the cap of the top of the tower is able to produce a spark at the far bottom, a bit underground it seems, happens often enough, then the LC I described as, what it looks like, isolated, then the tower unit as a whole may be a self powered transmitter. ???

The tower pics up charge from the air above and when the spark gap fires, the coil from the top cap to the ground induces the seemingly isolated LC which in turn reinduces the tower coil producing a tuned transmitter effect, and repeat. If the spark is fairly often, possibly sparking at higher freq than one may imagine, then the tower may be like I said, a self powered power transmitter. ;)
