Longitudinal Dielectric Waves in a Tesla Coil and Quaternionic Maxwell’s Equations

The Academic World has always officially considered the transformer known as the “Tesla Coil” with its peculiar characteristics only as an electrotechnics device, a pure and simple “transformer”, and only as an apparatus for producing sparks, lightning-like discharges and high voltages impressive electric effects. By closer scientific investigation of the device it is however possible to throw new light on some aspects of the coil invented by Nikola Tesla more than a century ago, in particular regarding the emission of longitudinal dielectric waves. An analysis supported by a physics/mathematics approach which recalls the original quaternionic notation of Maxwell’s equations, involving the prediction of the existence of dielectric scalar fields and longitudinal waves and also supported from empirical experimentation and research on the device itself is made. This new point of view discloses some new and striking facts regarding the coil and the related energy field, which leads to a completely new and surprising realm. However, it seems puzzling that the possibility of existence of scalar fields and of related longitudinal dielectric waves is still not accepted by the Academic World, which in turn gives neither sufficient justification nor proves to support its sceptical position which excludes the existence of said waves. DISCLAIMER: WARNING ! THE FOLLOWING EXPERIMENTS AND TESTS MAKE USE OF HIGH FREQUENCY RADIO WAVES AND HIGH VOLTAGE (POSSIBLE EMISSION OF X-RAYS, UV AND OTHER HARMFUL RAYS): PLEASE DON’T TRY TO REPLICATE THESE UNLESS YOU ARE WELLEXPERIENCED AND SKILLED IN HIGH-TENSION ELECTROTECHNICS AND RADIO-TECHNOLOGY: DANGER OF SERIOUS AND EVEN FATAL INJURIES TO PERSONS,DAMAGE TO PROPERTY!
