You mentioned that to increase the magnetic field one could add series coils so long as the current remained constant. How does voltage affect the coil? I've been trying to understand this patent better but am having difficulty. Tesla mentions that if the coil is wound with parallel windings where the output of one is fed to the input of the other then "the potential difference between any two adjacent points in A and B will be 50volts and as the capacity effect is proportionate to the square of this difference, the energy stored in the coil as a whole will be two hundred and fifty thousand as great". What is he actually saying here? To me it seems as though something happens to the energy travelling through the coil when the windings are in parallel that magnifies the same effect in a regular wound flat coil. I guess what I'm asking here is whether or not winding the coil in parallel will give me a greater magnetic field with the same input as opposed to a regular single wound coil? So when power is stopped to the flat coil the magnetic field doesn't collapse but is only reduced? Would it be better to ground the input or reverse the polarity of the input? Your knowledge base is quite extensive and impressive and I certainly appreciate you taking the time to share what you have. If you don't mind my asking what is your background and your claim to fame so to speak? Oh, before I forget how can I reduce the voltage of a 12volt system down to about 2 volts or less and maintain a decent current level? Have you ever done any testing with H2 generation by electrolysis? What are your thoughts? Thanks again.
With the ultimate goal of increasing the magnetic field of the coil would it be best to A: increase the number of turns? , or B: increase the voltage let's say from 300vdc to 3000vdc, or pancake more series coils and maintain current?
