Sequel to the classic Tesla Coil. We've thrown lots of sparks, but is this all Tesla had in mind? Utilitarian Tesla. Can Tesla coils do real work? Can they power an alternative fluorescent lighting? Build a "third generation" Tesla coil. Discover the magic of oil immersion, close coupling, and precise pulsing. Build a Tesla lighting plant. Meet the new electronic neon technology. A look at the familiar hybrid spark-ignition-coil and flyback Tesla coils. Then a leap forward to the Tesla coil pulsed directly by solid state, where battery 12 volts can yield 2000. The same circuitry can pulse 500 volts into a primary, yielding 100 times that. Can spark also deliver clean, stable outputs? Meet the Chaffee gap.

"Build a "third generation" Tesla coil. Discover the magic of oil immersion, close coupling, and precise pulsing. Learn how to drive a Tesla coil from low-voltage battery power. See how neon technology can be adapted for Tesla off-the-shelf. Build a solid-state pulse generator and a Tesla lighting plant and hook up your ammeter and see if it is efficient. Will Tesla be the next step in home power?" - TeslaTech

By the U.S. Navy (1951). First came the vacuum tube, then the transistor, right? Not really. In between there is another "lost" entity. Electronics engineers of the 1950's believed the rugged little magnetic amplifier was going to replace the less reliable vacuum tube in all its functions up to a megacycle. Originating in the USA but adopted and developed by the Nazis for the V2 missile, the mag amp after WWII found a clique of boosters among U.S. electronics engineers. Still evident in some regulators, the mag amp can also magnify, modulate, switch, invert, convert, phase shift, multiply, and even compute. It requires zero maintenance and can handle thousands of amperes. Modulate your Tesla coil with a mag amp. 43 illustrations. Not a reprint. Completely reset and redesigned. A Magnetic Amplifier Bibliography is published separately by High Voltage Press.

In clear English and a minimum of math, this booklet details the radical radio technology of Nikola Tesla. The secrets of Tesla's radio and wireless power. 66 illustrtaions.

Tesla's transmitters produce hi-voltage, impulse disturbances conducted through earth at low frequencies. His wireless power uses similar principles. Modern radio took a lot from Tesla, but what did it ignore? Rediscover spark and grounding: Revive low frequency, underground radio, no license radio, carrier-current radio, and radio-free energy.

"George Trinkaus is author and publisher of some half-dozen books on Nikola Tesla, and related subjects. While I have written this review specifically for Trinkaus's, "Radio Tesla," it largely applies to his other books as well.

"I have three good things to say and one not-so-good. First the good:

1. The books are moderately priced at... to.... And while they do have a slightly primitive, self-published look, the printing and production quality are adequate - no color, though.
2. Trinkaus provides an affordable way of acquiring certain Tesla literature, otherwise hard to obtain.
3. Trinkaus provides a source of "retro technology" - you know: how to make a radio using a blued razor blade and some paper clips - that sort of thing. Retro technology may appeal to old-timers who want to relive their youth. But it also has appeal for younger people, especially ones who have read Jules Verne. (You are marooned on an island. You have a few simple things, but no radio. So you start to think ... could I make a radio using only ...)

1. Tesla's radio principles
2. high voltage, sudden
3. Tesla's transmitter

"OK, here is the not-so-good part: Certain Trinkaus assertions smack of Tesla cultism. Trinkaus appears to support Tesla's assertions that Heinrich Hertz ("father of radio") was completely wrong in his understanding of how radio works. Furthermore (claims Trinkaus) modern engineers have turned away from Tesla and foolishly followed Hertz. How can this be? Certainly Hertz was only human and capable of his share of mistakes. But science requires that theories be constantly tested and re-examined. How could engineers possibly communicate with a spacecraft outside the solar system based on a completely erroneous theory? Isn't it much more likely that Tesla, outstripped by his colleagues in the race to develop radio, was overcome by rancor and lashed out at them?" - Amazon

Invented by Tesla (1891), a Tesla Coil boosts energy from a socket or battery to millions of hi-frequency volts. All of the facts needed to build one on any scale is included. Use junk to build it... beerbottles, old wire, etc. I know more than one person who has built a high performance coil with this booklet! well-tuned coil's output performs amazing tasks... lighting, disinfection, communication! Tesla?s Magnifying Transmitter (the ultimate coil) was for wireless power/global communications. - TeslaTech

"With all of the designs for tesla coils circulating the internet I was curious why I should pay $10 for this book. I was pleasantly surprised. The detail and simplicity of the book make it a great beginners guide. I am using the authors general design but altering it in some ways to give it my own flair. Mine is nearly complete!! With this book you really don't need to know anything about a Tesla Coil to build one (just have some basic Algebra skills). I highly recommend it." - Amazon

The suppressed inventions of Nikola Tesla in clear English and 42 illustrations: disk turbine, Tesla coil,high-frequency lighting, magnifying transmitter, wireless power, free-energy receiver...

Famous in 1900 for inventing the alternating current system, Tesla?s later inventions (1890 - 1921), have never been used. These inventions hold the greatest potential to alter the field of alternative energy! The suppressed inventions include the disk-turbine rotary engine, the tesla-coil electric energy magnifier, high-frequency lighting systems, the magnifying transmitter, wireless power, and the free-energy receiver.

"The information in this little gem is hard to come by... patents, also interesting tidbits about Tesla himself." -- Technica (the newsletter of Powell's Technical Bookstore, summer, 2000).

Everything You Know is Wrong. By Nikola Tesla (1919), edited by Trinkaus. In Nikola Tesla's own words and in 20 illustrations, this is the inventor's final published statement on how radio, at the radical, really works. What is the true wireless? Tesla says the orthodox Hertzian radio we've been taught is a "fiction." He insists that the amount of energy that can be transmitted is "billions of times greater" than conventional radio would allow. Can we transmit electric power to our homes and workplaces without wires? Can the unsightly and fragile grid come down? Tesla says Yes. This article of 1919 has been completely reset and redesigned for clarity. Includes an introduction by Trinkaus, explanatory notes, and information sources. 21 illustrations.
