Tesla applied in 1893 for a patent on an electrical coil which is his "Coil for Electro-magnets,", patent number 512,340. It is a curious design because, unlike an ordinary coil made by turning wire on a tube form, this one uses two wires laid next to each other on a planar form but with the end of the first one connected to the beginning of the second one. The Bifilar windings (Tesla type) are coiled in two forms : a- Bifilar coil in solenoidal shape (3 dimensional structure wound on cylindrical style) b- Bifilar coil in flat spiral shape (planar shape, which is called as Flat spiral coil) My questions are : 1- What are the differences of the physical properties between a flat spiral Bifilar coil and solenoidal shaped Bifilar coil ? 2- According to question (1) which type of Bifilar coil is better to use ? 3- Is it possible to use a Tesla type bifilar winding in a LC (tank) circuit, which interesting results do you expect to get if used in two different styles ? 4- Is it possible to use Tesla type bifilar winding in an RF antenna, which interesting results do you expect to get if used in two different styles ? 5- What happens if a Tesla type bifilar winding is used in a transformer ?
