Tesla Coils in the AMS Framework

Tesla Coils in the AMS Framework

Resonance, Displacement Current, and the Geometry of Energy

Tesla coils have always occupied a strange place in electrical science.

They are capable of producing astonishing voltages, visible plasma, and non-contact
energy effects that feel, at first glance, like violations of common sense.
As a result, they are often pulled into speculative narratives about free energy
or dismissed entirely as laboratory curiosities.

The AMS framework offers a third option: understanding them correctly.

The Simplified Story (and Why It Fails)

Traditional teaching often frames resonance as an exchange between:

  • Electric field energy in a capacitor
  • Magnetic field energy in an inductor

While technically correct, this picture is incomplete. It hides:

  • The role of displacement current
  • The importance of distributed geometry
  • The reality of field-extended system boundaries

Tesla coils expose these omissions dramatically.

Geometry Before Components

A Tesla coil is not “just a coil.”

It is a structure deliberately designed to maximise:

  • Inductance
  • Voltage gradient
  • Field coherence
    while minimising:
  • Lumped capacitance
  • Conduction current

The small capacitance of a Tesla coil is not a missing component — it is
distributed between the turns of the winding itself.

This geometry matters more than any schematic.

Displacement Current Is Not Optional

When voltage changes rapidly across a capacitance, energy flows even if
no charges traverse a wire. This flow is called displacement current.

In AMS terms:

  • Displacement current is real substrate motion
  • It is an energy transport mode
  • It is inseparable from time-varying electric fields

Tesla coils operate deep in this regime.

Why the Field Extends Into Space

At sufficiently high voltage gradients, electrostatic fields cannot remain
confined to conductors. They fringe outward.

This does not represent leakage or loss.
It represents the natural extension of the system boundary.

When a bulb lights near a Tesla coil, energy is transferred through
field coherence, not through harvested ambient energy.

The system includes the surrounding space.

Open Circuit Does Not Mean Open Universe

A common misunderstanding is the belief that because a Tesla coil is open-ended,
it escapes thermodynamic constraints.

It does not.

Conservation laws apply to systems, not wiring diagrams.
Once the surrounding field volume is included, the energy ledger balances.

What changes is not the amount of energy, but how it is organised.

Why High Voltage Does Not Mean High Power

Tesla coils excel at:

  • Creating extreme voltages
  • Maintaining coherent oscillations
  • Demonstrating non-intuitive coupling

They perform poorly at sustained power delivery.

This is not a limitation of engineering skill.
It is a consequence of high-Q geometry.

The moment a Tesla coil is heavily loaded, the resonance collapses.

What Tesla Coils Actually Teach Us

Tesla coils reveal that:

  • Displacement current is central, not secondary
  • Geometry defines electrical behaviour
  • Fields are extended, not localised
  • Simplified models hide important dynamics

They do not reveal:

  • Free energy reservoirs
  • Thermodynamic loopholes
  • Violations of conservation

They reveal something more valuable:
a deeper picture of how energy reorganises itself under extreme constraint.

Closing Thought

Tesla coils are not miracles.
They are mirrors.

They reflect the parts of electromagnetic reality that simplified teaching
has trained us not to see.

AMS exists to make those parts explicit.

Validation vs. Valuation

Validation vs. Valuation I recently found myself reflecting on the difference between validation and valuation , and I realised that although the words are often used interchangeably, they point to very different things. Validation, at its simplest and most innocent, is a form of support in the moment. It says: you’re seen , you’re heard , you’re not alone right now . In practical terms, validation is important — we validate work to ensure it’s safe, correct, or fit for purpose. In relationships, it can be reassuring and kind. But validation has a shadow side. When validation becomes something I need in order to feel whole — when my sense of self depends on it — it quietly shifts from support into something corrosive. In its more sinister form, validation can become manipulation, or an inadvertent tapping into a core wound: without your approval, I don’t exist . At that point, validation no longer supports identity — it erodes it. Valuation is something else entirely. Valuation ...

Newton, Einstein, and Gravity Revisited Through the Aetheric Magnetic Substrate

Newton, Einstein, and Gravity Revisited Through the Aetheric Magnetic Substrate I recently watched a video titled “There Is Something Faster Than Light.” The specifics of the argument aren’t the point here. What caught my attention was the familiar framing that followed: Newton versus Einstein, non-local versus local gravity, classical intuition versus modern physics. This framing is common. It’s also misleading. What follows is not a critique of either Newton or Einstein, but an attempt to understand what they were actually observing , why their descriptions differed, and how those observations can be unified under a single, coherent ontology — the Aetheric Magnetic Substrate (AMS) . Newton: Gravity as Non-Local Action Newton’s law of gravitation is often caricatured as “action at a distance,” and historically, Newton himself was uneasy with that implication. From a modern perspective, Newtonian gravity is described as non-local : Two masses influence one another instantly N...

Frame-by-Frame AMS Narratives of Basic Circuits

Frame-by-Frame AMS Narratives of Basic Circuits The following descriptions assume: The Aetheric Magnetic Substrate (AMS) is a continuous tension-bearing medium. Matter consists of vorton lattices embedded in AMS. A battery imposes a sustained AMS tension gradient between its terminals. “Current” is the rate of coordinated vorton slip/reconfiguration events that allow AMS tension to relax through a material path. Time is described in conceptual frames, not absolute units. 1) Battery + Resistor (DC) Frame 0 — Battery alone Inside the battery, chemical processes maintain a persistent torsional imbalance in the AMS. One terminal enforces higher AMS tension; the other enforces lower tension. No external relaxation path exists yet. Frame 1 — Circuit closed The conductor connects the two boundary conditions. The AMS immediately attempts to equalize tension along the conductor path. A longitudinal AMS tension gradient establishes itself almost instantaneously along the wir...
