Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
What is a Tesla-Dial, TDC, and how does it work?
Answer: The Tesla-Dial Coil is a high frequency voltage pulsed wave generator. It takes 120 volts @ 5.8 amps (700 watts) and coverts it to a broad range of fluctuating frequencies and emits the energy out through the sides of the tall Coil.
Does the TDC take a special electrical outlet to use?
Answer: Yes, it uses a standard 20amp outlet with a good ground, one with a 3 hole socket. Do not plug the TDC into a 2 hole outlet. A 2 hole outlet will cause damage to the TDC because there is no ground. Do not plug the TDC into a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) circuit outlet. If the TDC is plugged in to the GFI it will blow the TDC breaker causing damage.
If you are unsure if you have a dedicated 20amp circuit contact a local electrician. Please keep in mind the TDC is like installing any major appliance and needs to be on the correct electrical circuit.
We cannot tell whether or not your computers or cell phones will work next to the TDC. Most do but some older computers and cell phones/equipment that have not been properly shielded might have problems. Most TVs, computers, and cell phones work next to the TDC but if you are experiencing problems move them at least 8 feet away.
Does it pass electricity through me?
Answer: No, you utilize the electromagnetic field it generates, there is no electrical contact while it operates.
Does it cost a lot to run?
Answer: No, it runs on only 700 watts. That’s half of what a room oil heater uses.
What’s that smell?
Answer: The TDC generates a small amount of ozone which freshens the air and reduces mold. If you are sensitive to the ozone, we encourage you to use the ventilation system we provide or keep a window open and/or run a small fan in the room when using.
What is Ozone?
Answer: This article was taken from the Promolife website. This is one of the best write ups I’ve seen about ozone so I am directly quoting them, Landi Dial.
Ozone, or O3, is a trace constituent that occurs naturally in the atmosphere. Oxygen becomes ozone when a third oxygen molecule is bound to O2 via oxidation. Ozone is a water-soluble gas with a very distinct scent. In lower levels its color makes the sky blue and the air smell fresh. Ozone is the second strongest oxidizer known (after fluorine) and the number one most powerful water sanitizer available. It can inactivate viruses and bacteria 3,000 times faster than chlorine. It is also unsurpassed for the control of bacteria like fecal coliforms and E-Coli, as well as deactivation of molds, viruses, fungus, cysts and mildew.
Ozone has been used for purifying water since 1893, and is also very popular for disinfection, air deodorization, detoxification and food preservation. It is formed during lightning and thunder storms, or when UV rays strike oxygen rising from sea plankton and plants. The natural ozone found in the Earth’s atmosphere helps block harmful UV rays that lead to skin cancer.
Misconceptions and “Ozone Alerts”
Ozone is easy to detect and is a readily created byproduct when the sun’s rays strike pollution’s hydrocarbons. It is not pollution itself, but can be used to better detect high levels of pollution. More pollution + more sun = more ozone creation. Thus ozone alerts are telling you there are more hydrocarbons in the air.
Ozone is not smog. Smog is a combination of UV light from the sun and engine exhaust. Ozone does not come out of car exhaust. Ozone research by the EPA with very high levels of ozone have shown some negative results, but no human being would subject themselves to these levels. Anything in excess can be a bad thing. Ozone is natural – it is nature’s way of purifying the air. If it did not exist, life would cease to exist.
So how does ozone work?
Ozone freely floats in water and air. As it circulates and contacts airborne pathogens, the third molecule of oxygen detaches and reattaches itself to the pollutant, turning it into a safer compound.
Ozone has a biocidal action that results from a reaction with double bonds of fatty acids in the cell walls and membranes of bacteria and the protein capsid of viruses. Oxidation results in a change to bacteria’s cell permeability. Ozone attacks these walls, breaking down the structure and membranes. In viruses, ozone alters the protein capsid which prevents other cells from taking up the virus. Normal cells are not destroyed by ozone. Ozone is so powerful in destroying bacteria that only small amounts are needed to show germicidal action. It obliterates all saprophytic and pathogenic microbes in water. Temperature, humidity, pH, the type of organism, ozone levels and time determine the pathogen’s kill rate.
After oxidation, ozone simply returns to oxygen, leaving no residues or toxic byproducts. Ozone will oxidize organic compounds like oxalic and acetic acids, as well as chloro-benzic and nitro compounds, herbicides, detergents and composite pesticides. It oxidizes manganese, iron, heavy metals, sulfides, cyanide and nitrates in water. By washing vegetables and fruits with ozonated water, levels of lead can be reduced as well as many soil and air pollution contaminates. Ozone destroys bad odors and ethylene gas which allows vegetables and fruits to last longer.
As an air filter, ozone is much cheaper than replaceable filters and more effective. Filters can only clean the air that passes through them, and filters, sprays and ionizers don’t eliminate the causes of odors. Ozone will. When the cause is gone, the odor can’t come back unless the cause is reintroduced.
Ozone and safety
At very high levels ozone can be harmful, but it is safe for humans at low levels. No deaths have been attributed to low level ozone use since 1885. It is not listed as a carcinogen by NTP, OSHA or IARC. The irritation threshold in humans is around .06 parts per million with no evidence of damage to health via continuous lower level concentrations. Steady concentrations between 0.01 and 0.045 ppm are well below safety limits, and these are the levels most often used. When higher amounts are needed, many devices will come with a timer that will automatically shut off the machine.
Thousands of chemicals are added to foods sold to the public, with over 700 found in drinking water in some cities. Ozone doesn’t produce chloroforms or trihalomethanes like chlorine does. While chlorine can be blamed for deaths worldwide, there is no evidence of deaths attributable to ozone. Chemicals can cause rashes, personality changes, cell toxicity, cancer, aging and more. It is thought that around 30 million people get sick from foods every year. Reducing these pathogens is essential and ozone can do that safely. Spores, molds, bacteria, viruses and other single cell organisms decrease shelf life and cause spoilage. Bacterial or organic growths on refrigeration coils, produce, drain lines and pans cause cross-contamination. Ozone can destroy bacteria in a matter of days. It doesn’t harm good cells or alter food chemistry. It will actually improve taste of many foods by oxidizing herbicides and pesticides and by neutralizing ethylene gas and ammonia made by ripening. Like irradiation, ozone can improve the food supply by lessening waste, while increasing exports due to extending the shelf life of perishable foods.
Unlike radiation, ozone is natural and much healthier. Large doses of radiation forms benzene, which decreases levels of vitamin B1 in foods. Ozone does not. Ozone changes the complex structure of the chemical to its original basic and safe elements. No bad residues are left behind and when oxidation is complete, ozone reverts to plain oxygen. Scientifically speaking there is no dispute: ozone is the best natural viricide and bactericide available.
The legal aspects of ozone
Ozone predates the 1906 pure Food and Drug Act and has Grandfathered Legal Status. It has prior Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) affirmation as an antimicrobial agent. The Functional Use Of code 170.3 (o)(2) supports it as an AAS, or Antimicrobial Agents Substance that can be used to preserve food by preventing the growth of microorganisms. While this does not say the only functional use of ozone is for water, it does affirm that it is safe to use on food. The USDA approved ozone in 1957 for use in meat aging coolers. It was also approved by the USDA in 1991 for use in recycling poultry chill water.

How do you use it?
Answer: It’s easy, set your timer for the length of time you would like, push the blue button on the box to turn the TDC on, and kickback in a recliner or go to sleep. Since the TDC is on a timer the Coil will shut down automatically or push the red button to turn it off. Having your feet up, uncrossed, about a foot away from the Coil and pointed at the TDC seems to be the most effective way to receive its maximum benefits.
I’m a sensitive person so if I want to start slowly or I feel the TDC is too strong what should I do?
Answer: If you feel too many changes in your body and you want to slow the process down sit further back from the Coil, like 2 feet or more depending on your sensitivities, it’s still effective but softer. As time goes on experiment with how close you can be comfortably.
When should I use it and how often and how long?
Answer: Most people are using the TDC when they are trying to recovery from an injury, trauma, PTSD, depression, or when they’re sore or tired from working or playing hard all day.
Evening is a good time to use the Coil for it tends to make you relax and get sleepy. Length of time per session is also variable, 1 to 2 hours of quiet sleeping time seems to work the best for short usage but there is no time limit for the person or the machine. Putting the TDC at the foot of your bed, setting the timer and sleeping is very beneficial.
We recommend you start with 2 hours and see how you feel and then adjust your time accordingly. Trying to “get something done” while sitting/laying there in front of the TDC is not advised. Even a lot of talking seems to affect the bodies “willingness” to shut down and make the proper adjustments. No matter what you are in the energy field and receiving benefit but the people that are “shutting down” and sleeping are reporting the greatest changes.
How long do I have to use it before I see changes?
Answer: It really depends on what challenges you are dealing with and how open your body is to change. Change can sometimes feel uncomfortable and it takes a while of consistent use to help the body to feel safe enough to let change happen. Most people are noticing changes right after their first time with the TDC. Subtle changes can continue for a while after using the TDC. For example, people that are working with depression report a major difference in mood for a few days after a session and currently they are working on how many sessions a week they need to do to keep their depression at bay. So far it appears that 2, 2 hour sessions in front of the TDC a week is working. We look forward to more data coming in!
Will those changes stay or will I have to use the TDC for the rest of my life?
Answer: Since this model of the TDC has only been in service for a little over 2 years, the answer to this question has not been established. What we are seeing is that it is dependent on the type of challenge being worked on, is it a busted knee from a riding accident, depression, PTSD, a car accident. Again were look forward to more data.
What are these sensations I feel going through my body?
Answer: This varies greatly from person to person, generally the sites in the body one “feels” is usually where the tissue has been damaged in the past. As the TDC resonates the person’s body, it appears the body slowly corrects itself using the body’s original patterns according the person’s genetic code.
Do I have to stop my other therapies to use the TDC?
Answer: No, it can actually improve the performance of the other therapies.
Can I use the TDC if I have internal metal parts?
Answer: Yes, the internal metal parts are inside the person’s field so they act like a bird on a power line (I.E. nothing happens to the bird because it is in within the field with no ground paths.).
Can I use the TDC if I’m taking medication?
Answer: Yes, the Coil appears to assist the body in utilizing the medication more effectively. We do advise that you take medication a few hours before or after you use the TDC. We feel that this is just a general safely rule of thumb with any resonate device.
Can I use my Molecular Enhancer while in front of the TDC?
Answer: Yes, the two units work in conjunction with each other so there is no conflict between them. The two machines do different jobs, the Enhancer charges the cell structures up so they can resume normal chemical operation whereas the TDC resynchronizes the processes in the cell to use energy more effectively.
Is there is a maximum time exposure to the TDC?
Answer: No, not that we’re aware of. Currently Dan has used it up to 16 hours in a day. Unlike conventional Tesla coils that can only run 5-15 minutes before they overheat, the TDC can be run continuously with no damage for up to 18 hours. The 5 hour timer was installed as a safe guard.
Does the TDC put out 60 cycle AC?
Answer: No, the operating frequency is 5000 Hz a bit higher than the standard 60 Hz line frequency. In addition the output of the TDC is unstable so the frequencies constantly drift quite a bit and never lock on to any particular cycle.
Does the TDC require much maintenance?
Answer: The TDC has been engineered to run for an extended period of time
with no maintenance. The first time any internal work was required on the first
prototype was at 804 hours, a small modification has now extended that time to
over 2000 hours. In time the rotary spark gap will require an electrode change.
One electrode set can last 2000 hours or more. The bearings in the rotary spark
gap will need replacement but at what time that will need to done is variable due
to environmental factors. The rest of the machine should last the life of the
device.
Can I bring my animals with me when I use the TDC?
Answer: Absolutely! They benefit too. We bring our horses and dogs consistently with us when we use the TDC. There’s been everything from tarantulas to horses, in various states of need, in front of the TDC and all have shown marked improvement. Even aging animals appear to get relief and perk up. We encourage people to allow their pets to be with them when using the TDC, ours just fall asleep. It’s a family affair.
What is the difference between electromagnetic pollution and the earth’s energy field, how is the coil different from cell phones and other AC sources?
Answer: Electromagnetic pollution is the reoccurring pulses of a specific frequency being struck over and over which saturates tissues and causes negative reactions(I. E. power lines, cell phones, any other steady pulsed electromagnetic systems). The TDC amplifies earth waves to a higher potential and is random in frequency.
What’s the difference between the TDC and other Tesla coils?
Answer: One major difference between conventional Tesla coils and the TDC is
that conventional Tesla coils can only operate for 5-15 minutes before they
overheat, the TDC is engineered to operate continuously. Also, the TDC does
not produce lightening bolts just radio frequency waveforms.
The Tesla-Dial Coil does not heal or cure, it is an experimental device currently undergoing research.
