Overview

The Tesla Magnifier is Tesla's preferred form of wireless power transmission — a three-resonator system where the first resonator (driver + primary coil) feeds energy through a tight inductive coupling into the secondary, which then drives an "extra coil" (magnifier coil) to very high voltage at the resonant frequency. In scalar mode, the magnifier is tuned so that the transverse field components cancel between the secondary and extra coil boundary: the high-voltage wavefront propagates as a predominantly longitudinal EM pulse rather than a transverse radiation. Bearden identified this as the basis of Tesla's claimed wireless power transmission across intercontinental distances. This plan covers all three resonator stages, tuning procedures, safety interlocks (output voltages reach 100–400 kV), and the coupling adjustment to achieve scalar mode operation.

Intended Research Use

Tesla magnifier scalar mode, longitudinal EM wave generation at high voltage, Bearden wireless power transmission research, transverse-to-scalar mode conversion.
