Part 4/10:
Tesla's historic experiments laid the foundations for our world's electrical infrastructure; however, Hutchison believes these principles can be expanded further. He demonstrates the use of vacuum tube oscillators—an old but reliable technology—to explore the possibility of transmitting energy wirelessly over significant distances with minimal input power.
One of his signature displays involves the Jacob's Ladder effect, where electrical arcs leap between electrodes, illustrating high-voltage phenomena. But Hutchison's true fascination lies in leveraging his makeshift Tesla coils—some capable of producing up to 1.5 million volts—to generate effects that challenge conventional physics.
