golden ration claim funniness
I really don't think this should be passed off as nonsense... Do you really believe that there is nothing to be learned or expanded upon here, because I sure don't think so. The building of Tesla coils is predominantly something undertaken by hobbyists, and as...
I said that I would provide sources and a circuit diagram in the morning. It is now the morning, and I will deliver.
This is the scholarly article, written by a student of physics. You can find the golden ratio reference at the top of page 38...
maybe, what this means is that you simply don't want your capacitance to be a multiple of the original capacitance, because (if you look at the equation for the resonant frequency of an LC circuit, f=1/[2*pi*(LC)^(1/2)]) then the new resonant frequency could be a whole number multiple of the...
golden ration claim funniness
this is for my IB extended essay. We are generally very strongly advised to do one in history or english, but I really love math and physics, and its what I'd rather be doing anyways. I also have had a lot of experience metalworking and making stuff like this just...
well, as far as i can tell, there is no optimum sized capacitor other than that required to match the resonant frequency of the secondary circuit, which hinges on the inductance of the primary circuit (i probably should of mentioned this, but when building primaries, there are always extra turns...
I think that in the coil I am designing I will use a capacitor with a capacitance of √2 times the resonant value. It's just as irrational as φ, as far as I can tell, because neither is transcendental, so I don't, at this point, see any particular advantage to using √2 over φ.
The only real constraints to get a working coil seem to be that that your capacitor must
a) have a reactance equal to the primary inductive reactance to achieve tank circuit resonance (NOT the problem area resonance with the transformer) which is responsible for sending energy into the...
Hello all,
I am in the process of designing a tesla coil for a research paper, and, just when I thought I had seen all the crack science there could possibly be, I came across a claim concerning the golden ratio. (The natural progression of events, I guess...) There is a real problem when...
