Frequently Asked Questions

Tesla BioLights, answered.

Biophotonic plasma. Tesla coil-derived pulsed electromagnetic fields. A 130-year scientific lineage. Honest answers about what Tesla BioLights is, how the S.E.A.D. System works, what a session feels like, and where this all comes from.

The device

What is Tesla BioLights?

Tesla BioLights is a biophotonic plasma + PEMF therapy device — the modern iteration of an electromagnetic medicine lineage stretching back to Nikola Tesla. The full system is called the S.E.A.D. System — Subtle Energy Adjustment Device.

It combines noble gas plasma light emission with Tesla coil-derived pulsed electromagnetic fields delivered in a 15-minute non-contact session.

What is the S.E.A.D. System?

S.E.A.D. stands for Subtle Energy Adjustment Device. It's the proprietary Tesla BioLights system integrating a high-voltage Tesla coil resonant circuit that drives noble gas plasma tubes.

The combination produces a coherent biophotonic field with a broad-spectrum PEMF component. Sessions are 15 minutes, non-contact, fully clothed.

What is biophotonic plasma therapy?

Biophotonic plasma therapy is the use of ionized noble gases — argon, neon, xenon, krypton — driven by a Tesla coil to emit a specific spectrum of light (biophotons) into the body's surrounding biofield.

The field includes the visible plasma glow as well as the pulsed electromagnetic component of the resonant Tesla circuit. The premise builds on Fritz-Albert Popp's biophoton research, Antoine Priore's plasma device work, and Georges Lakhovsky's multi-wave oscillator.

How does PEMF therapy work?

PEMF — pulsed electromagnetic field — therapy delivers low-frequency electromagnetic pulses that can interact with the bioelectric properties of cells.

The Tesla BioLights system delivers PEMF as a byproduct of its high-voltage Tesla coil circuit, producing a broad-spectrum field rather than a single tuned frequency. This distinguishes it from single-frequency PEMF mats.

The session

How long is a Tesla BioLights session?

A standard session is 15 minutes. You stand or lie within the field of the device, fully clothed, with the plasma tubes approximately 12 to 24 inches from the body.

No physical contact with the device is required. Most users report feeling a subtle warmth or tingling, but the field is non-contact and non-invasive.

What does it feel like?

Subjective reports vary. Some describe a subtle tingling, warmth, or a kind of "settled" feeling. Many notice the deepening of the breath. Others feel nothing in the moment and notice effects later in the day or after several sessions.

Tesla BioLights makes no claims about what sensations any individual will or should experience.

Is Tesla BioLights safe?

The Tesla BioLights field is non-ionizing and non-contact. The plasma tubes are fully enclosed glass. The high-voltage circuit is fully contained within the device housing.

As with any electromagnetic device, users with active implanted electronics — pacemakers, defibrillators, neurostimulators, insulin pumps — should consult their physician before use. Pregnant individuals should also consult their physician.

Tesla BioLights is not a medical device and makes no medical claims.

Does Tesla BioLights make medical claims?

No. Tesla BioLights is a wellness and frontier-science exploration device. It is not FDA-cleared as a medical device, and it does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

The work is positioned as honest frontier research in the lineage of Tesla, Lakhovsky, Priore, and Popp — exploratory, observational, and biofield-focused.

Comparisons

How is Tesla BioLights different from red light therapy?

Red light therapy (photobiomodulation) uses LED diodes at specific red and near-infrared wavelengths. Well-studied, well-mainstream.

Tesla BioLights uses ionized noble gas plasma — argon, neon, xenon, krypton — driven by a high-voltage Tesla coil. The result is a broader, more dynamic biophotonic spectrum coupled with a pulsed electromagnetic field. The older lineage (1890s onward) and the less mainstream of the two.

How is Tesla BioLights different from a regular PEMF mat?

Standard PEMF mats use copper coils that pulse at a fixed low frequency, typically 1 to 30 Hz.

Tesla BioLights generates its PEMF as a side-effect of a high-voltage resonant Tesla coil, producing a broad-spectrum field that includes higher harmonics and the simultaneous biophotonic plasma component. The fields are categorically different in spectrum, geometry, and intensity profile.

The science

What is a Tesla coil and why is it used?

A Tesla coil is a resonant high-voltage transformer invented by Nikola Tesla in 1891. It produces high voltage at radio frequencies, capable of ionizing gases and driving the noble gas plasma tubes in the S.E.A.D. System.

The Tesla coil is the heart of the device — it is the same fundamental circuit Tesla himself proposed for what he called wireless transmission of energy.

What are noble gases and why argon, neon, xenon, krypton?

Noble gases — argon, neon, xenon, krypton — are inert atomic elements that, when ionized by a high-voltage field, emit characteristic spectra of light (their plasma states).

Each gas has a distinct emission spectrum: neon emits red-orange, argon emits violet-blue, xenon emits white-violet, krypton emits pale violet. Tesla BioLights uses these specific gases because their emission spectra overlap meaningfully with the biophoton wavelengths Popp identified in living systems.

What is a biophoton?

A biophoton is a single photon — a quantum of light — emitted spontaneously by living cells, primarily from DNA and mitochondria.

The phenomenon was rigorously studied by German biophysicist Fritz-Albert Popp beginning in the 1970s. Biophotons are emitted in the visible and near-UV range at very low intensities, and Popp's research suggested they may carry information in coherent patterns across living tissue.

The lineage

Who built Tesla BioLights?

Tesla BioLights was developed by Doug, founder of the company. The device builds on a 130-year scientific lineage:

Nikola Tesla's high-voltage resonant circuit work in the 1890s, Georges Lakhovsky's multi-wave oscillator in the 1920s, Antoine Priore's plasma-tube device in mid-20th-century France, Fritz-Albert Popp's biophoton emission research starting in the 1970s, and Michael Levin's contemporary bioelectric morphogenesis research at Tufts.

Who was Antoine Priore?

Antoine Priore (1912 to 1983) was a French electrical engineer who built a large plasma-tube device in the mid-20th century that produced documented effects in animal studies funded by the French government.

His work, conducted with several CNRS researchers and supported by French Prime Minister Jacques Chaban-Delmas, remains one of the most rigorously documented historical precedents for plasma-based bioelectromagnetic devices.

Who was Georges Lakhovsky?

Georges Lakhovsky (1869 to 1942) was a Russian-French engineer who developed the multi-wave oscillator in the 1920s — a multi-frequency electromagnetic device.

Lakhovsky proposed that cells function as oscillating resonant circuits and that broad-spectrum electromagnetic fields could restore cellular oscillation. His core 1925 book on the topic remains a foundational reference for the biofield lineage.

Who was Royal Rife?

Royal Raymond Rife (1888 to 1971) was an American inventor who developed a plasma-tube device and proposed that specific frequencies could affect specific pathogens.

His work is historically controversial and contested. Tesla BioLights references the broader lineage of plasma-tube and resonant electromagnetic devices honestly, noting that Rife is part of the cultural history without endorsing his specific clinical claims.

Who is Michael Levin and how does his work connect?

Michael Levin is a Tufts University biologist whose contemporary research on bioelectric signaling in morphogenesis has revolutionized the scientific understanding of how cells communicate via electromagnetic gradients.

His work — published in Nature, Cell, and other top journals — provides peer-reviewed scientific grounding for the broader idea that bioelectricity shapes living tissue. This contemporary science contextualizes the Tesla BioLights premise within rigorous current biology.
