Tesla Oscillator for Ignition Purposes:
Patent 609,250
A Tesla Coil for igniting gas engines - a "Tesla" ignition
coil. |
 |
Tesla
Oscillator with Mercury Interrupter:
Patent 609,248
This patent utilizes a liquid-to-liquid "make", with
an insulating
disk used to separate the liquids for the "break" duration. |
 |
Tesla
Oscillator with Mercury Interrupter:
Patent 609,247
This patent utilizes liquid-to-solid interruptions of a
centrifugal ribbon of mercury to make and break contact
with a fan blade. |
 |
Tesla Oscillator with Mercury Interrupter:
Patent 609,251
It's not perfect, but these still took forever to draw! |
 |
Tesla Oscillator For Producing Ozone
Here are some 3D renderings I made of a famous Tesla Coil. |
