This demonstration elegantly visualizes the displacement currents and ground return paths that are often overlooked in conventional circuit theory. It serves as a lucid reminder that high-frequency energy transmission is a complex interaction with the environment rather than a simple linear flow.

The Energy that flows through a Tesla Coil and the ground.Added:
It is already known that a Tesla coil creates longitudinal or dielectric electromagnetic waves.
Knowing of course that these electromagnetic waves are always transverse in the nature.
In this slayer exciter or catcher, which is always a self-oscillating resonant transformer, the reason that in the coil creates a current in not conducting conducting in other coils, I mean the primary and the secondary coil is because the principle of the Lenz's law, which exists here.
The secondary coil is drawing power from the primary while the voltage is changing and the current is always dropping from zero to a But this is not the point. I want to demonstrate you something else.
First of all, I would like to show you the circuit diagram of my Tesla coil I'm going to use in this experiment.
I'm using an IRF530 common MOSFET and some other components.
It's nothing special.
But it is good enough to show you what I mean.
Now I'm turning on the device.
High voltage at the output.
This is the output.
1 MHz.
But the most important thing is the ground.
This is the ground.
This is an inductor of 350 micro Henry and the LED LED lamp.
And as you see it's glowing.
That means that it flows current inside the cable here.
And this is what I'm trying to demonstrate you now.
I interfere now a light bulb, a light filament bulb between the end of the secondary coil L2 and the ground.
Right there.
And see what is going to be happened.
I'm turning on the You see?
The lamp lights up.
And if for any reason, if I disturb the resonance with my hand, let's say with my hand, the bulb lights up better.
Mhm.
That means that we have electron moves between the ground.
In this case, the LED lamp is not is no more in use.
This is the setup I showed you before.
At the ground of the Tesla coil is connecting this bulb of 10 W from a microwave transformer directly to the ground.
Also, the ground goes through the lamp.
And down I changed the the setup.
Instead of the lamp direct Instead of the lamp directly, I connected the variable coil of 14 taps altogether 140 turn.
and then the ground and the bulb I'm going to connect it not not between at the very end of the coil.
Also from the Tesla coil and the ground.
This is the coil.
The tabs I showed you before.
I connected the power supply.
As you see we have the current at the the ground.
Okay. The bulb.
Mhm.
See.
The same result.
At the very end of the coil. Now if I choose another tab right here for example it is less.
Lights up no more just a little bit.
So that means that using this coil I can variable the index of the coil and I can use it as a variable transformer.
with a high voltage See it again.
Right here. in the middle it on the end just a little bit Yeah.
And of course when the bulb lights up the the LED is signal so as it was before.
Just a little bit.
Knowing that the energy flows through the ground from the Tesla coil, I changed the setup to this.
First of all, I changed the coil.
And instead of the coil, I have a rectifier consisting of four diodes, four fast diode UF 5408.
And the condenser of six microfarad at 450 V.
Right here.
Capacitor, the diodes, and power it on.
Wait.
What I'm doing now is that the capacitor is being charged very, very rapidly from the Tesla coil and the ground.
Tesla coil at the very end, the L2, and the ground.
And right here is the energy.
Thanks for watching.
