That is very cool. Especially that antique spark gap. You were lucky to get that. With you mentioning the transmitting frequency of your coil, , it makes me wonder what my horizontal coil was putting out. . The neighbours probably had Pirates of the Caribbean coming from their appliances !

Very nice work Garry. on the SPARK GAP TRANSMITTER". I would bet the new technology could learn a thing or two from the word, "RELIABILITY". I hope to make me one also soon. This is history in its purest form ever shown and demonstrated. Hope I am able to get some "period correct parts" to keep the unit "period correct".
Keep up the great work using videos

it is amazing how creative they were without the theory to drive the designs (in many cases).

Super interesting video, those are some beefy coils, must have taken hours to fully wind!

Would love to see the working receiver in use.

Could you please name reference books mentioned in video? Nevertheless - much kudos for presenting this monstrous beauty

Isn't a spark gap transmitter illegal to run now? In a Faraday cage? Doesn't change the fact that it's cool as all get out.

Isn’t it too low frequency to be anywhere near radio frequencies?
