Disadvantages of Hartley Oscillators
The output is rich in harmonic content and therefore not suitable where a pure sine wave is required.
it is the circuit that is responsible for producing oscillation.In hartley it is two inductors connected in series and a capacitor parallel to this series connection.Without tank oscillator tends to act as as an amplifier.
Self-tuning feedback
The high frequency oscillator was invented by Nikola Tesla. Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor, engineer, and physicist, pioneered research into high frequency alternating currents in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which led to the development of high frequency oscillators.
The DC voltage for the amplifier (transistor or FET) runs for a series-fed oscillator through the inductance of the LC circuit. A shunt-fed oscillator uses a radio-frequency choke or a resistor to deliver DC voltage to the amplifier. For an oscillator the difference between serial-fed and shunt-fed is small. The choke resonance frequency can interact with the LC circuit resonance frequency. This problem happens only with shunt-fed. Furthermore series-fed needs less components. Therefore it is prefered for (low power) oscillators. The output circuit of an amp can be series-fed or shunt-fed, too. The additional DC current through the coil will drive a iron or ferrite core earlier into saturation. This is an disadvantage of serial-fed. At a high-voltage tube RF amp with say 2000V DC voltage, in the shunt-fed amp only the choke and the DC blocking capacity have to withstand the high voltage. This is an advantage of the shunt-fed solution.
The expectation value of potential energy for a harmonic oscillator is equal to half of the oscillator's spring constant multiplied by the square of the oscillator's displacement from its equilibrium position.
Colpitt oscillator is better than hartley because colpitt produces less phase noise and uses capacitor instead of inductor as used in hartley oscillator which means that area is also saved.
A Colpitts oscillator is the electrical dual of a Hartley oscillator. The Hartley oscillator is an LC electronic oscillator that derives its feedback from a tapped coil in parallel with a capacitor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colpitts_oscillator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartley_oscillator ~MECHASUN~ A Colpitts oscillator is the electrical dual of a Hartley oscillator.

colpitts oscillator has two coils in series and one capacitor in parallel. hartley oscillator has one capacitor and one coil in parallel
No because hartley uses inductors which are bulky and economically not feasible to obtain tuning inductors as compared to colpitt's which uses capacitors which are relatively very cheap and small.
Several oscillator designs use a tapped coil in the tuned circuit. The most common is the Hartley oscillator.
it uses the noise in air.
Self-tuning feedback
An oscillator has a tuned circuit (inductance+capacitance) to determine the frequency. When the inductor is tapped to give the required phase-shift for oscillation it is a Hartley oscillator. When the capacitance is tapped it is a Colpitts.
i will put tank ckt and give it to transistor via positive feedback
basicaly the two inductors work as an autotransformer,providing a phase shift of 180 degree
advantages over what? Colpitts? Mostly the fact that it does not require a choke. A Hartley is more harmonic-rich than a Colpitts, so the main reason it is used lies in its (relative) ease of construction.
