The power is only about 10 watt but I can light a fluorescent tube placed
inside the coil. I have to touch the end for it to strike.
I am attempting to repeat Tesla's result where he puts a tube of low
pressure gas inside an induction coil and found that some gasses gave off
more power than he put in and became self sustaining.
He found the power increased as the pressure went down until a certain point
in the pressure curve when the power fell away as the pressure was decreased
still further.
He said hydrogen was the most poweful but that oxygen and nitrogen did it
too but neon and argon did not give the effect.
I'm using a valve instead of the interrupter wired as a radio frequency
oscillator.
I'm hoping I will get power out of the coil once I can ionise the hydrogen.
I will be using a tube hydrogen at 1 microbar with electrodes inserted at
each end.
If I get power out of the coil then I will be tapping the energy of hot
fusion of protons.

I didn't know Tesla did such experiments. Where did you read this?
Others have experimented with electrical dishcharges in gases of varying
pressures (Langmuir; Papp) with very interesting results, but I was unaware
that Tesla did also.
As for what they discovered (inadvertantly sometimes) I can't see how it
could be fusion. There are no fusion products observed or reported that I
have seen, and Papp would certainly have looked for them I think even if
earlier researchers did not.
I wouldn't be disapointed that it isn't fusion however. If it were you
would need to constantly supply fuel.

Well, what can I say?
This is very interesting indeed Chris.
I've had a look at your site and I'll keep doing so I think.
You didn't explain the setup though. The last time I looked at your site
you hadn't managed to get the hydrogen to ionize IIRC.
May I ask what the working arrangement is?
Regards,
Vince

The idea is that the radio frequency current in the coil ionized the low
pressure hydrogen and then compresses the resulting plasma into a small area
near the axis of the coil. This conducting gas then gets very hot as the
result of ohmic heating. The heating effect is highest near the axis because
the current density is highest there. When a very small volume near the
centre of the coil gets hot enough the fusion reaction reactions and this
causes the gas to expand against the containg magnetic field making current
in the coil that then maintains oscillations and delivers power.

Yes it is the E-field of the electromagnetic radiation inside the tube that
ionises the hydrogen and then the same radiation heats the plasma and also
the radiation pressure compresses the ionised gas towards the axis.
