Re: 7.1Hz, Frequency variation and Q

Hi All,

What if he was thinking of using two coils to get a beat frequency of 
7Hz? Then you could use say a 100KHz coil and a 100.007KHz coil 
together and get a beat of 7Hz.  I would think that might make it a 
lot easier to get the low frequency with much smaller size.  From the 
drawings in his patents, the secondary and tertiary conductors were a 
foot in diameter or more.  Great power handling, but high 
frequency.  Might be worthwhile to analize a set of twins to see what 
beats they produce.
