My god what a pleasant surprise to find such an articulate and competent demonstrator & Such master-craftsmanship of the components speaks volumes to the understanding and devotion. If only a talent such as yourself might turn such attention and en-devour to make sense of Walter Russell's...'Polarity Controlled Electric Gyroscope'. Your curiosity would be most welcome.

I love that you actually understand what Tesla was doing, and that his coils weren't supposed to make big sparks! (though even he detuned his coils to take awesome pictures with arcs. His PR team insisted lol) Awesome work, beautiful design, you would make Tesla proud.

4 years later, this is still a video I enjoy coming back to

With all of the schools I have attended This IS the best straight forward presentation.

Wow, 85% of the words you are using are unknown to me, yet the way you bring them wants me to learn more. Thank you for being you!

People who can simply and clearly explain a difficult subject to laymen like myself are hard to find. You did a wonderful job and have gain a subscriber who appreciates your work. Nicely done. Thank you.

Holy Sh!t! I have heard so many people talk about Tesla coils and seen them use them to light, at a distance, CFTs, but I never believed them about using them to energize a distant coil and then light a CFT. It’s like you’re a magician, but with science. And your Tesla coil is so quiet and unassuming. The ones that throw sparks are fun to watch but they don’t seem to be more than parlor tricks. Great KZfaq!

Mr Carlson KZfaq is so lucky to have you sir!

Glad to see that Tesla's ideas are alive and kicking. He was the real genius.

The fact that you fix compact florescent bulbs makes me like you even more!

OMG!! I have learnt more about Electronics in just 3 days then i have, in the past 30 years. i was always wondering if there was ever going to be a Person, that could explain this Subject. You may never really know or understand how IMPORTAN'T you are to the Electronic Subject. This is "FREE UNIVERSITY QUALITY TUITION". I Commend you for helping the completely Floundering Electronic hobby-est who wants to do it CORRECTLY but is missing the finer points to finish the Job with Honours. I bought a broken "Yamaha Amp" today for $10... i'm going to use your methods to see if I can fix it. Also, I never new a Resistor could be Noisy and I understand how important Capacitor's are now. My brain is on Fire and I love it. Thanks again!!

J.P. Morgan: "Can you put a meter on it?" NIkola Tesla: "What? No! Of course not!" J.P. Morgan: "Well… wrong answer, buddy."

Mr. Carlson I never get tired of learning about Tesla's wireless energy system which you explained very well. When I see you sitting in your electronic lab I'm always looking at your large array of equipment, impressive.

the reason you popped up on my feed is beyond me...but i am pretty amazed.

Hi Mr. Carlson - -some years back I was standing in a church parking lot adjacent to my front driveway. Dark clouds were approaching. I was speaking with a number of younger folk when a burst of sparks came off a power line about 70 feet in front of me. A yellowish-orange "ball" floated across the street from those power lines and over a rat rod parked in my driveway. None of the folks with me knew that was a remarkable occurrence so didn't think of pulling out cellphones for a video. (I didn't and still don't own such a phone) Anyhow, as we expected to be rained upon, I walked with a friend back to my house (about 60+ feet) and when we went past the Jeep rat-rod there was a bright flash behind us. Another fireball had come off the lines, following nearly the same path. That driveway is cut into a hill so once the fireballs crossed the Jeep, they only had a few feet more travel before hitting that elevated chunk of land. The first ball which I saw looked to be perhaps 20 - 24 inches in diameter. The one which passed about 10 feet behind us hit higher on the hill. There was no ozone smell and no evidence of foliage being burned. The part which I thought interesting was that when the ball behind (and above our height) dissipated, there was a sound like a "ZZZzzzttttt" much like one would hear from one 60Hz Jacobs Ladder arc. Why might it made that "AC" sound? What might have happened if one of the balls had made contact with a person? It was interesting as I can't drive and go nowhere to have what I think was real ball lightning come to my place ;^)

Thanks for sharing. People like you make this a better world to live in! GENUIS

Great video! Your craftsmanship and teaching skills are always outstanding

That was cool! Thanks Paul. I would enjoy watching more videos on this.

I really liked the fact that you are so knowledgeable on this topic and willing to go through so much effort, but it was still way over my head.

Of all the videos I watched..this is the best..simple, explained nicely

This was enLIGHTening! All the other Tesla coil demos I've seen have all been throwing sparks for drama, I had no idea that it actually had a practical purpose!

Real good demonstration on resonance! Tesla was way beyond his time and a lot of his ideas are still in use. Thanks for the video demonstration.

Great down to earth video as usual. Every one else would make a FREE ENERGY video out of this.

Just awesome. I've never seen such smooth Tesla coil presentation before. Thank you.

Many greetings from Serbia. Ideas and accomplishments of this great man are a part of our nation's lore for decades now. Congrats on your achievement.

Awesome!!! Yes, more please!!! Thanks for taking the time to make the videos.

First time anyone has managed to explain resonance to me in a way that made sense. Really good practical demonstration thank you.

I now understand how Tesla's system would have worked. Most effective demonstration.

That device is insanely cool. Also beautiful to look at.

That was really interesting. I think that Tesla was a very clever man, but also a little unbalanced. He was not treated very well by his peers and even worse by others, but he truly was a gifted man whose achievements are still underestimated by the science community today. Well done on this video.

Love your simplified presentations. Makes the more in depth knowledge more interesting.

I greatly appreciate you're focus to functionality as well as tuition, and not hyperbole, as a man with half you're intellect easily could portray, thank you Sir.

hands down one of my favorite youtube channels thank you, teacher (knocking on bannister)

Excellent video, as usual. I have watched many videos on Telsa coils and none of them have actually explained and demonstrated what Telsa was trying to achieve.

Tesla's work was, and is truly amazing.. Thank you for the well presented demonstration.. I hope that one day soon people make more use of this valuable technology.

Thanks for a great video. Just enough detail to make sense and a excellent practical example.

This was a great demonstration. Thanks for making it for us.

Awesome video, really love the term of "RF Firehose". Also one of the few examples I've seen with a fluorescent tube off a tesla coil without any coronal breakout.

Very clear explanations, very easy demo. Hats off and thumbs up Mr Carlson!

Excellent demonstration. Makes for clarity.

I have been subscribed to your channel for a little while now, have watched many of your informative videos, and have come to the conclusion, you are a master at what you do. Troubleshooting parts, circuit diagrams and creating your own workaround circuit diagrams, I am impressed sir, well done :-)

Nearly a 3 year old video, but timeless in the essence that it sparks (ha!) curiosity in young minds. Using the light bulb to illustrate your point is brilliant, as opposed to simply droning on about the underlying technical aspects, which obviously demand more advanced electrical knowledge. Electricity and magnetism are awesomely fascinating, and videos such as this one serve brilliantly to power up the minds of tomorrow.

The tuning fork equations are the best analogy for this demonstration, would love to see more on this subject. Thanks for sharing.

This is the Holy Grail - there are precious few others that could come anywhere close to your abilities - thank you so very very much for sharing

everything Nikola Tesla related is value added. a man so under valued, he was truly brilliant. replication of his work would be a great video series.

Wow - one of the best demos I have ever seen on big coils. You could sell these videos. If you augment it with a complete mathematical breakdown it would be worth even more. Thank you for sharing !!

Another excellent demonstration.

Very nice presentation and fine example of vacuum type coil. I really enjoyed watching it. Thank you.

what a great day for science! yes do more of these

Great presentation!

Extremely well-presented demonstration and information!

I think your presentation was just perfect for all most anyone to understand.

This is the coolest thing I have ever seen.

You sure make some cool looking stuff. Excellent video. Tesla was a brilliant man.

Your lab os just....astonishing!!!!! Thanks for the video

Nicely done Sir ! This is where you do a mic drop and walk off the stage !! Again , well done Paul 👏

Awesome project. Thanks for share! 73's

Wow that is really something. I would very much enjoy more videos like this one.

Great build - and great video. Thanks for sharing.

Very nicely done! Thank you!

Great video. Thanks for doing it. This stuff is fascinating!

Great video. I'm always excited to see what you will do next.

Subscribed. I can already tell you, that i am going to LOVE this channel!

Thank you for taking the time for all the videos you make. I have learned so much from them.

Hi Paul, wow what a awesome presentation on resonance and Tesla technique! But beside that- great device what you build! That alone is a piece of art which is beside the genius technique a very nice device for decorating your living room..Take care!

@Mr Carlson's Lab - I've been anticipating this video since videos became a thing. All I can say is: Nice work, kid, Nickola is smiling.

excellent demonstration

Great demonstration....loved it!

Very informative! I love your explanation on RF and what it can really do, the same thing happens when you bring a florescent tube underneath a 500kV power transmission line, and it lights up!!!! Amazing!!!!

amazing. thank you for the godly explanation.

Great demo. I love the quality build. Thanks for promoting electrical science!

Nicely done. Clear and concise!

really nice device, a work of art, it is beautiful, well explained, even me can understand!!!!

Awesome, That was very informative and really cool stuff. Thank you for sharing.

Superb demo thanks Mr Carlson

Great demonstration, thanks!

wow I never knew such a device existed this is just amazing !

Very cool! Thanks for the demo :)

Very professional work, explanation, and education! Thank you for sharing!

nice construction on the equipment. Great show and tell

Very cool! Keep em coming!

Thx man , love your channel .

Mr Carlson, When you brought that compact fluorescent tube near the coil it reminded me when I was a kid, in the 60s. I was helping my older brother tune up a high-power CB radio antenna whip at night time on his car. I had a 4 foot fluorescent tube next to the whip and saw it glowing in my hand looking at the swrs in the tube. It got me interested in a career of electronics. Keep up the great videos.

You are the coolest fellow! LOVE watching your latest videos. I don't understand most of what you are teaching but... am learning tidbits each and every single time I watch! Kudos!

that was one of the best videos I have seen, thank you for sharing.

This is fascinating, please do more related videos :)

Fascinating! So well explained. Beautiful Steampunk equipment too. I was on the edge of my chair worrying that Mr Carlson might start to sizzle from RF heating. Enjoy your videos. Thank you

Once again, very impressive in all aspects. Thanks

Love the video hope to see more.

That is a gorgeous oscillator. Love the glow of tubes and stained wood.

Amazing 👏 I've seen these before but nothing like the one you have. Excellent work. Take care, Mike

Great video, demonstration of resonance. Thank you.

Thank you for a well made video and clear intelligent information.

Hi Paul - I have to say I really enjoyed this video and it proves that electronics and electronic devices are really pretty cool when explained with your method of teaching. Keep it up and educate us with your knowledge. Kevin - KG0MN

Finally I understand, basicly, what, how and purpose of Tesla and his experiments. Thank you.

Excellent demonstration and an absolutely beautiful design on your set up!

Amazing. This is almost like a magic trick.

WoW... What toys you have Paul! Great demonstration in the transmission of RF energy using tuned coils. That Tesla transmitter is visually stunning. Looks like it should belong in a museum somewhere. Beautiful job in building it. One thing that I did notice right away was the distance from the transmitting coil that the bulb would fluoresce compared with the distance of the remote coil to do the same. Very predictable of course, but interesting to actually witness. J. Paul Getty canned the whole Tesla transmitter project because he couldn't charge anyone for its usage, as we all know. The he should have realized that the rotary spark generator was so broadband RF noisy that he could charge people for cable radio service instead. LOL Love the demonstration, and YES, I for one, would love to see more of this setup in action. Fantastic stuff! 73s Tom

Very interesting demonstration, I always like to see more about Tesla's work
