Testing the TK Tar Baby

What the hell is the matter with you anyway, Wilby?

Read my original post to which you are objecting. I am ASKING if they are claiming the oscillations cease immediately... as their theory requires... or if they continue for some time. They definitely are implying that the circuit will not run on a capacitor and they are saying that it does not because the oscillations decay. They do not specify a time but the use of the word "collapse" definitely conveys the sense of abruptness or immediacy. "Decay" would have been perfectly appropriate... but that was not the word used. Hence we can reliably conclude, you logic-impaired cricket-chirper, that the capacitor used simply wasn't of great enough capacity for a real test, SINCE these other similar and identical circuits run perfectly well on large capacitors.

yes, let's recap...

In the quote above, it appears that the NERD authors are claiming that their circuit will not run using a capacitor bank as the main power supply. Or does the phrase "the oscillation then collapsed to a zero voltage" mean..... the oscillations collapsed once the capacitor voltage had dropped below that necessary for the circuit to oscillate?  The two interpretations are very different.... and lead to different conclusions, don't they. What would happen if one used a really _large_ capacitor bank of several thousand _Farads_ charged to 48 volts? Would the circuit run for a while, thus falsifying the conclusions  in the above quote, or would the oscillations collapse immediately to a zero voltage, as required by the NERD "theory"?

i bolded where you are asking the question you claim exonerates you. clearly the word "immediately" is strangely missing...   oh look, LIAR, it's at the bottom of the paragraph in glow!
so it's clear to anyone who can read english you added the qualification of "immediately"... and then tried to imply "immediately" was required by the NERD "theory" when it is obvious by your first question in the paragraph IT WASN'T.

i snipped the rest of your post and didn't respond because it was just more of your logical fallacies.
i'm not quite sure why you think i should comment... you "experts" can't even agree on KVL...

Is there a mute user function in the forum software? Maybe a greasemonkey script / Chrome plugin?


ETA: to be more specific, can some reliable source such as a moderator point me in the right direction if one or the other features exist?

yup

try RTFD once in a while.

For that, I thank you.

TK:

Great clip.  Finally we get to see negative computed power while the capacitor discharges.  An oxymoron!

I jumped a little inside when I saw that you were working with one-farad capacitors at five volts!  They have been upping the voltage I see.  Good old technology.

Isn't a one-farad capacitor supposed to be the size of a steamer trunk?
