I don't pretend to know much about electricity beond basic wireing but, I 've always wonderd if you took the very high voltage and almost no amperage out put of a Tesla coil and turned it around ( by Omes law?) to reduce the the voltage and give a more useable amperage (as is done in a typicle arc welder) ??
I have seen kits in old Edmund Scientific catalogs that help build hand crank or wind powerd static electricity generators and I have often wonderd if there was a usefull application for somthing that produced this type of electricity beond running your gas engines or shocking the cat. I'm sure I'm mixing up a few diferent devices or terminologies here but you must see the point of my question. I simply want to know if I can extract a supply of usable electricity from these so called static electricity generators? |
