3 Million Volt Test at Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower 

This video is buried on the web. It needs tags or something... This is by far the most beautiful TC I've ever seen love the modular secondary. I'd love to just see a schematic of driver components let alone the machine running in real life.. Absolutely superb I hope the twin TC's become reality.. Best regards, Martin M

1:25 hahah! We need more people like you, researching AND having fun!!

It looks like Tesla's 100 year-old grounding system worked VERY well! As did your new system. You can easily see the streamers growing from bang to bang. Very impressive machine!

Wish they didn’t tear down the wardenclyffe tower. Would’ve loved to see it in action. The should make a full rebuild of it. And operate it on special occasions.

Wow! I watched this with my 8-yo son and we are mesmerized. Thank you!!!

I'm writing a screenplay about Tesla and the tower and seeing this in the real location and actually working is so valuable, thank you for sharing, it's truly awesome.

This would be legendary at a rave if you could tune it to play music

Excellent experiment! Real science! Good job! Thank you!

Thank you sir! Makes my imagination going wild!

Very impressive! I bet it's a true marvel to see it in person.

Sir, you have my greatest respect for your doing! Best regards from Germany!

Wow I just happened to visit the TCML and saw this link in a recent post. I was active on the list about 5 years ago. Glad I found this. I have not been running my coil near as much as I like. The coil is amazing, Greg. I thought my 10 foot tall coil was big. That is Huge. Good day, sir. I subbed, also.

where's the "schematic please" squad now? :D

This is a good demonstration of a Tesla coil but I’m more interested in the power harvesting from the ionosphere the actual purpose of Tesla’s Wardenclyffe tower don’t know if there’s a problem with permit to do such an experiment but that’s what the tower was made to do in the first place free energy for all maybe there’s a time for the Tesla foundation to go further with the actual plan even that the tower is gone everything else is in place deep underground caverns I’m positive that someone knows how to operate and execute this operation.

Amazing!!!!! Thanks for posting!

Wishing you all the best in future work..

Just awesome. Plus, it's musical!

Cool. Congratulations. Fantastic engineering. I have a '96 ford Powerstroke F250.!!! The tower was torn down in WW I because Army/Navy was afraid German submarines would use it as a navigation reference. I noticed that the pitch changed as you powered it up. Is that a spark gap wheel, or is it solid state? PS. I built a tertiary twin coil on 8" PVC tubes, and used pumpkins for the top-loads. For Christmas, I put one of those old aluminum Christmas trees.

Great work Guys..A Masterpiece.Great Tesla.

Love your truck! Very nice.

I just wish they'll build a life size replica of the tower out of wood it doesn't even need to be functional. Great video I think it's very interesting to watch this sadly just wish more people knew about this video instead of it being buried in the web.

The Great Genius - I’m a great fan of Nikola Tesla 💕

Excellent video! Do you own this footage? Do you mind if I use a few seconds of this video, in an upcoming episode about a mini tesla coil? Full credit will be given

Impressive that it doesn't need a breakout rod. Most DRSSTC's I've seen that try to run without one tend to explode the IGBTs's within a few seconds.

0:30… Tesla’s birthday actually is July 9 or July 10, 1856. (he was born around midnight.)

This guy really knows what he speaks about,damn that is impressive

Gneiss rhymes with ice. Great work you're doing!

That was badass!

You are a hero!

Thanks for showing us how Tesla made it work.

Wish that it may rebuild again to its original size

Outstanding!

Great show and tribute to tesla!

wow incredible

I'm getting some serious Command and Conquer: Red Alert vibes watching this 😄

Where is this ? Amazing!

Hermoso video! Excelente trabajo Felicidades y en hora buena

The DOD stiffs at Viziv were probably troubleshooting all night

Now tesla is happy to see this

How you joined the many sections of secondary coil ?

Very cool!

So cool!

So awesome!!!!! ⚡🙌⚡

Amazing

In Tesla's book It say's that the tower would have connected with the ionosphere,saying his tower would have draw energy from space, and reaching 100 million volts.

If they had let Tesla build and operate this we probably would have flying cars right now.

This is great

I can't believe Nikola Tesla is also Grounding Expert,

Omg! I want to do this!❤

Why current is flowing in single direction is there any relation to site

Awesome.

Is there any way to get a bit information about the driver Design, i would be really interested to see how you did this. if you used punch-through IGBT for examples and if you evaluated different topologies like you would in a LLC converter. Thanks the results are impressive!

yes they were on a extremely close path to the science/technology breakthrough I have been hoping for. the only thing I would suggest is that they do it exactly as Tesla did it to prove it actually works and can power more than just light bulbs. from this video the only thing I can see they're missing is doing it full scale with the copper ride going 200 ft into the ground making contact with the natural aquifer that the warden Cliff Tower is built over. once that is all complete you will see the same test Nikolai Tesla did there will apply as far as being able to light bulbs over a hundred yards away and with today's technology you will be surprised what else it will power. someone needs to do this the right way and have the funding to do it.!!

Ur my hero

Can i charge my phone wirelessly there

Looks very solid. How do you think the full scale ower will work? Where will the energy and sparks go?

Can you imagine seeing this in person? Pikachu could never

Where does the energý in the minute 6:30 comes from?

This is wild

Tesla is a human god of the tecnology

Hi Greg, I happened to stumbled across this video. Impressive. To me it appeared to outperform the exhibit at Little Rock. Do you think the ground system at Wardenclyffe had anything to do with this? (0.5 ohm ground measurement is unheard of around here). I don't think the 4# ground matt we have at a major 500kv switchyard near a river bottom tested that low! Glad you got to do experimenting at that location. Great feeling, right? Besides the history of the place; too cool. I would be stoked as hell! Regards, Hank

So that looks ready for the Daft Punk reunion midi guitar rig

Have you done the Test, That Tesla did in Colorado,,where he tested his voltage 25 miles away in the ground, Your Tower was Awesome Build., I have Tesla's book of his life story.

I'm curious what would happen if this Tesla coil was operating during a thunderstorm. Would lightning be attracted to the Tesla lightning bolts?

Hello, I have a few questions about this tower since I do not know much of it. 1. Many people state that this tower wasn't declassified at all, or mentioned to actually exist. Then why were you able to reproduce this tower? 2. Is it possible for your tower to give us free electric power, like Tesla originally wanted to do? Thank you in advance!

Born to early, this person

Tesla would be proud.

Nice👍and just WOW!!! 😲

Is this working on the moon or mars surfaces??

👍👍👍👍👍.great mr tesla. I salute his soul.

Can you imagine just how great the lightning was when the Earth and Mars were throwing thunderbolts at each other thousands of years ago? It must have been tremendous and scary!

he knew something we didnt

There's a lot of "professionals" in the comment section

Now remove the top load and replace it by an antenna, and you have the biggest spark gap transmitter used since the 1920s!

Don't take this the wrong way, but, I Love You you crazy genius.

So how much would it cost to make a full-scale replica of Tesla's 186' tower?

Very nice coil. The diff between this and Wardenclyffe Tower was Tesla was or had solved how not to have sparks fly out thru its top, as it is a waste of energy. Every Tesla Coil is on for a few seconds....makes one question why. Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower was to be turned on continuously, so not even he would have stayed there with that much noise, at those levels, considering his hearing ability, as per his own writings. So this is a fallacy ppl are trying to sell to the public. His Tower was not producing sparks.

I saw this in c&c.

What is the resonant frequency of this coil?

Does anybody else think this might be an explanation for millisecond pulsars?

Tesla himself would shit his pants if he saw this coil! His stuff didn't have the rep rate this one does.

Quite impressive demonstration! How come this wasn't on the local NYC network news like CBS, NBC, ABC etc? Next time notify them. It would be interesting news story for them to cover. Also should talk to Elon Musk about help funding the Wardenclyffe lab restoration and development

I don't get it, so instead of taking energy out the ether you blow energy into it?

How does the power-utility-bill look after running one’a these babies?

Hey how do i get in contact with you?

This is so beautiful. Is it actually safe to walk under, as long as you don’t touch the components? It’s a crime that they tore down Tesla’s original tower, imho. The components couldn’t possibly have been as valuable elementally as the potential work products would have been. So stupid.

I am a student I am only 19 year old and I newly researched Tesla's tower and the thing that clicking my mind is that Tesla was not trying to transmit only voltages but trying to may be convert it into some sort of frequencies and they must be decoded or converted to electricity by next tower or devices as we know frequencies exist all over the world may be he was trying to use frequencies as power source these are my assumptions

Hook up a MIDI keyboard and controller to the drivers. Then you could play a tune. May I suggest "Axel F" which is highly recognizable and a good fit for this magnificant instrument.

You generated so much Volt you must have accumulated lots of "electric charge" at the top.Can you concentrate them on 1spot and shoot them out in a beam?

So what would it take to reach 1 billion volts?

it would have been awesome to have seen a light bulb lit up from this 210,000 watts.

Had this tesla coil in my dream last night but only much much much bigger i mean it looked a couple cities away and it was fucking giant bigger than any tower u can think of. Had to change my pants right after

Tesla promised power in the megawatt range. He got back more power then he put in!

210kW? What the... What is a power supply and IGBT's?

I think most think tesla wanted to used his first resonate transformer for wireless transmission of power but it wasn't if you look at the wardencliff tower it look different he had patents for another transformer that he believed created longitudinal EM waves you can search his patents and find it it works on the same principle but the secondary made quite different there is actually some fascinating research into scaler waves some Call them tesla waves but they are longitudinal EM waves don't look at the stupid new age healing crap when you search scaler waves you gotta dig some to find research but it truly is fascinating I'm am researching his last patent on transmitting electrical energy and going to build the device if it does produce longitudinal waves it should in theory transmit through a Faraday cage so fingers crossed but a discovery of something like longitudinal EM waves would change the way we communicate and transmit power fingers crossed and before you go saying it's bs build the device and try it don't take other people's word our science institutions have a bad habit of brushing things off that we can't explain but in reality we can't even correctly describe EM fields we know what it's doing and how to produce the. Bit we don't truly understand them in reality most of our stuff is like that our physics is just a guess and theory we are still newborns in the realm of physics we don't really know anything regardless if they tell you we do or not just because we can use things does not mean we understand them people do it everyday never dismiss something just because it's not understood

Look, I'm a knuckle dragger when it comes to this stuff, so forgive any non-sequitars, but while watching the video I suddenly remembered an early early experiment during the Space Shuttle days which saw them paying-out a long copper wire while in orbit. The thing was over-producing so much power, they had to jettison the thing, as it stood a danger to the Shuttle. Many years after that I was listening to the original Art Bell radio show, and he was explaining how he was going to build this huge antenna by running copper cable from towers strung around his property line, but the wind passing-by that huge copper coil he built was generating electricity and he couldn't use the power. Is any of this helpful information? I dunno. I went to Public School in SC many decades ago.

Tesla’s birthday is July the 10th not the 13th?!?
