For those unfamiliar, I do a lot of engineering+science project updates on Youtube, Bitchute, and Minds (formerly Twitter).
Hopefully there will be something that piques your interest.😉

- Vacuum Pump Rebuild
Boys, we’re rebuilding a vacuum pump today.🔧 2-stage rotary vane. It’s kinda old and needed a $200 parts+seals kit, but still a pretty good deal since I got it as a free hand-me-down and the new/rebuild units go for $1500 and up. First time taking one of these apart, so didn’t really know what to… Read more: Vacuum Pump Rebuild - SDR Telluric Receiver – 9/12/22
Finally found a good mounting box to finish assembling the SDR receiver today.🙂 I’ll be away on work for a while so will be leaving it configured for 24/7 reception on the 160m band. One of my colleagues may try to ping off it in the interim🧐 I left some room internally so I… Read more: SDR Telluric Receiver – 9/12/22 - Telluric Ground Impedance Experiments Aug 2022
Summary The main issue recently has been achieving a low-impedance ground, so that the ‘standing wave’ cavity is formed between the top of the Tesla transformer and Earth, rather than being formed between the top and bottom of the Tesla transformer. When an impedance-matching transformer is used to drive an Extra coil, the system impedance… Read more: Telluric Ground Impedance Experiments Aug 2022 - Telluric Apprenticeship with Eric Dollard Part 3 – debrief

https://www.bitchute.com/video/5yLTeokkMhGu/ - Telluric Communications ApprenticeshipI’m working with Eric Dollard personally this week, learning a ton in the process so I figure I’d share bits of what I’m picking up thus-far. * Eric is extremely focused on having absolute minimum impedance to ground for telluric communication. * His ground is a buried pair of old fuel tanks with 1 ohm… Read more: Telluric Communications Apprenticeship
- Eric Dollard comments on his first telluric communications
Eric Dollard commented on the very first accidental telluric experiments he performed, before he’d even heard of Tesla. He was messing with a single Tesla Extra coil (air-core high Q resonant quarter-wave coil), observing all its interesting properties, and got a call from a friend a town over telling him he was ‘on the air’… Read more: Eric Dollard comments on his first telluric communications - VNA Tesla Coil Crash Course – Setup and initial tuningGranted there’s not many people that can make use of this information, but the few people that are building Tesla Coils looking into higher-level analysis will definitely find this interesting.

- Meaning“What is the meaning of life?” is commonly used, but it is such a broad and complex question that it almost loses meaning. but, “What is the meaning of MY life?” Now that that’s more manageable, and can be answered readily if one chooses to. In fact, that question is answered every day/week/month/year through our… Read more: Meaning
- Single Wire TMT + Bulb Lighting Experiments 8/9/22
Part 1: https://www.bitchute.com/video/mFjOoQ3aLzqG/ A brief and quite cobbled-together experiment following some preliminary long-range telluric testing performed the day prior. The experiment seems to suggest a unique transmission mode may indeed exist when two Tesla coils are used in tandem to transfer power between each-other. Part 2: https://www.bitchute.com/video/5vJpSnIpsgGs/ Turning up the power to the Tesla system… Read more: Single Wire TMT + Bulb Lighting Experiments 8/9/22 - Tesla Magnifying Transmitter Tuning
After a week of solid testing, and a hundred feet of wasted/cut coax, I’m finally honing in on a good procedure for building+tuning a Tesla Magnifying Transmitter.😙 Short version: Wind your secondary and extra coil to about 1.5x your target frequency.Measure each coil separately with a VNA or function generator and scope/meter until you have… Read more: Tesla Magnifying Transmitter Tuning - 2022 1/4hp Steam Engine Build
The following is basically a big montage of photos taken during the build process for a 1/4hp steam engine casting kit that I got for Xmas Dec2021. The whole process took about 100 man-hours, which is about 1/2 the time as the first one I had made last year. Lessons-learned go a long way.😁 - Shop Notes – Building a new Tesla Coil for upcoming telluric experiments.
In prep for the upcoming through-the-ground communications experiments this month, I spent the last couple days fabricating a large Tesla Coil secondary out of UHMW polyethylene. Target frequency is just above the 160m HAM radio band, so about 2-2.4mc Using RG316 coax cable since it is silver coated and has a quite large surface area.… Read more: Shop Notes – Building a new Tesla Coil for upcoming telluric experiments. - AT5k Antenna Tuner modding
On the advice of Adrian Marsh, I modded my 3kw antenna tuner. Basically I needed a way to bypass all of the tuning elements on one of the outputs to make it easier to tune Tesla Coils with it. By adding a vacuum relay I am able to use one of the pushbuttons on the… Read more: AT5k Antenna Tuner modding - It is finished (‘Borehole to Hell’ project)
It took a few weeks, but the project is finally done. Total depth: 27ft, with 14ft beneath the water table. The last few feet were the worst (aren’t they always), with the last 4ft being painstaking hammered with a ground-rod driver and sledgehammer. Overall a good learning experience though, and now I know how I… Read more: It is finished (‘Borehole to Hell’ project)
