This book describes how to build a Tesla Transformer, which is much different
than a Tesla Coil in operation, as a Tesla Transformer will produce "watt-less
voltage", a purely electrostatic phenomena, which Tesla was utilizing to transmit
power wirelessly. This power could be converted back to standard electromagnetic
current that we still use today.***

An abstract of the theory and construction techniques of Tesla Transformers
written by one of the most brilliant modern day researchers into High Frequency
Electricity as pioneered by Tesla and Steinmetz. Contains the article CAPACITY
by Fritz Lowenstein, assistant to Tesla in his research.

While this one-of-a-kind book from 1986 is more of an engineering analysis of
Tesla coil operation than a guide to their construction, it does provide the
Tesla coil builder with some alternative views on the configuration of these
devices. Written at a time when most coilers were focusing their attention on
the "classic" Tesla coil design, the author recognizes the advantages to be
gained by inclusion of a base-driven helical resonator or extra coil, and gives
suggestions as to how oscillator performance may be optimized. The book closes
out with a reprint of Fritz Lowenstein's 14 page paper titled CAPACITIES,
presented in 1915 before The Institute of Radio Engineers.
