There is more than one type of resonance!

The type of resonance that I am talking about here is like music, it's based on wavelength, NOT A TANK CIRCUIT. You are not dealing with a conductor of limited length, but Tesla's wording in some of his patents clearly states that he is talking about a conductor OF LIMITED LENGTH.

TESLA PATENT 787,412 ART OF TRANSMITTING ELECTRICAL ENERGY THROUGH THE NATURAL MEDIUM (Click here for the link)

 

 SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 787,412, dated April 18, 1905.
Application filed May 16, 1900. Renewed June 17, 1902. Serial No. 113,034. (No model.)

"It is known since a long time that electric currents may be propagated through the earth, and this knowledge has been utilized in many ways in the transmission of signals and the operation of a variety of receiving devices remote from the source of energy, mainly with the object of dispensing with a return conducting-wire. It is also known that electrical disturbances may be transmitted through portions of the earth by grounding only one of the poles of the source, and this fact I have made use of in systems which I have devised for the purposes of transmitting through the natural media intelligible signals or power and which are now familiar; but all experiments and observations heretofore made have tended to confirm the opinion held by the majority of scientific men that the earth, owing to its immense extent, although possessing conducting properties, does not behave in the manner of a conductor of limited dimensions with respect to the disturbances produced, but, on the contrary, much like a vast reservoir or ocean, which while it may be locally disturbed by a commotion of some kind remains unresponsive and quiescent in a large part or as a whole.  Still another fact now of common knowledge is that when electrical waves or oscillations are impressed upon such a conducting-path as a metallic wire reflection takes place under certain conditions from the ends of the wire, and in consequence of the interference of the impressed and reflected oscillations the phenomenon of “stationary waves” with maxima and minima in definite fixed positions is produced. In any case the existence of these waves have reached the boundaries of the conducting-path and have been reflected from the same. Now I have discovered that notwithstanding its vast dimensions and contrary to all observations heretofore made the terrestrial globe may in a large part or as a whole behave toward disturbances impressed upon it in the same manner as a conductor of limited size, this fact being demonstrated by novel phenomena, which I shall hereinafter describe."

​

Now someone tell me what that has to do with a tank circuit? I got kicked out of the group The Electric Universe Theory, BECAUSE OF THIS POST! (Before I added this update)  I was talked down to by a moderator THAT CAN'T UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS SOME OTHER KIND OF RESONANCE. 

​

Tank circuits have to do with frequency, NOT WAVELENGTH!

Now I know I say all the time that IF I HAVE SOMETHING WRONG, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. 

​

So now this question goes out to all of you people on Facebook that have turned my comments off on post, kicked me out of a group, or went thru my friends list and messaged people telling them I'm pushing propaganda and they should leave my group and unfriend me. BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT RESONANCE IS, or you know how Tesla's tech really works!

​

Please tell me what Tesla is talking about conductors of limited length and reflections has to do with resonance?

And where does the above fit into a tank circuit?

NOT ONE PERSON THAT I HAVE TALKED THAT WAS WORKING WITH COILS COULD TELL ME HOW LONG THE WIRE WAS THAT THEY USED TO MAKE THEIR COIL WITH! 

Where is your resonance that increases voltage at a linear rate?

And I'm not done yet with what he says in this patent.

 

 Please read all of the patent (Link above) as I am only highlighting some things.

 

From the patent:

"In Fig. 1, A designates a primary coil forming part of a transformer and consisting generally of a few turns of a stout cable of inappreciable resistance, the ends of which are connected to the terminals of a source of powerful electrical oscillations, diagrammatically represented by B. This source is usually a condenser charged to a high potential and discharged in rapid succession through the primary, as in a type of transformer invented by me and now well known; but when it is desired to produce stationary waves of great lengths an alternating dynamo of suitable construction may be used to energize the primary A. C is a spirally-wound secondary coil within the primary having the end nearer to the latter connected to the ground E' and the other end to an elevated terminal E. The physical constants of coil C, determining its period of vibration, are so chosen and adjusted that the secondary system E' C E is in the closest possible resonance with the oscillations impressed upon it by the primary A. It is, moreover, of the greatest importance in order to still further enhance the rise of pressure and to increase the electrical movement in the secondary system that its resistance be as small as practicable and its self-induction as large as possible under the conditions imposed. The ground should be made with great care, with the object of reducing its resistance. Instead of being directly grounded, as indicated, the coil C may be joined in series or otherwise to the primary A, in which case the latter will be connected to the plate E'; but be it that none or a part or all of the primary or exciting turns are included in the coil C the total length of the conductor from the ground-plate E' to the elevated terminal E should be equal to one-quarter of the wave length of the electrical disturbance in the system E' C E or else equal to that length multiplied by an odd number. This relation being observed, the terminal E will be made to coincide with the points of maximum pressure in the secondary or excited circuit, and the greatest flow of electricity will take place in the same. In order to magnify the electrical movement in the secondary as much as possible, it is essential that its inductive connection with the primary A should not be very intimate, as in ordinary transformers, but loose, so as to permit free oscillation—that is to say, their mutual induction should be small. The spiral form of coil C secures this advantage, while the turns near the primary A are subjected to a strong inductive action and develop a high initial electromotive force. These adjustments and relations being carefully completed and other constructive features indicated rigorously observed, the electrical movement produced in the secondary system by the inductive action of the primary A will be enormously magnified, the increase being directly proportionate to the inductance and frequency and inversely to the resistance of the secondary system. I have found it practicable to produce in this manner an electrical movement thousands of times greater than the initial—that is, the one impressed upon the secondary by the primary A—and I have thus reached activities or rates of flow of electrical energy in the system E' C E measured by many tens of thousands of horsepower. Such immense movements of electricity give rise to a variety of novel and striking phenomena, among which are those already described. The powerful electrical oscillations in the system E' C E being communicated to the ground cause corresponding vibrations to be propagated to distant parts of the globe, whence they are reflected and by interference with the outgoing vibrations produce stationary waves the crests and hollows of which lie in parallel circles relatively to which the ground-plate E' may be considered to be the pole. Stated otherwise, the terrestrial conductor is thrown into resonance with the oscillations impressed upon it just like a wire. More than this, a number of facts ascertained by me clearly show that the movement of electricity through it follows certain laws with nearly mathematical rigor. For the present it will be sufficient to state that the planet behaves like a perfectly smooth or polished conductor of inappreciable resistance with capacity and self induction uniformly distributed along the axis of symmetry of wave propagation and transmitting slow electrical oscillations without sensible distortion and attenuation."

​

Now I have to ask all you coil junkies out there that are following Steinmetz, where is the above in his stuff? There isn't, and in fact you probably don't have a clue as to what I am talking about, do you? This is in fact a battle between Steinmetz and Tesla, but not the resonance Tesla is most known for, he is not talking about a tank circuit in the patent quoted above. 

​

One last thing, I think Tesla may have done some things like people say Stan Meyers did? I think this one he is really describing the effects from his 1/4 wavelength in the above?

 

From the patent:

"In Fig. 2 I have shown a device for detecting the presence of the waves such as I have used in a novel method of magnifying feeble effects which I have described in my Patents Nos. 685,953 and 685,955."

 

I am going to demonstrate magnifying FEEBLE EFFECTS using the wave on a string app and the fact that I have not made that video yet as I write this, and when I do make the video it will be under coincidence number 6 on my List of Coincidences.
