Kapanadze Cousin - DALLY FREE ENERGY

Hi Jeg. 

Possibly you are right.  Let me to show you one of his older setup ups (4 month back)  which has been made by Ruslan himself and confirmed as working.  http://realstrannik.ru/forum/39-kapanadze/134930

This is an initial test of putting a 15W light bulb across the grenade coil output leads and driving
only with the kacher driver.

This testing was done with no tuning of the kacher frequency yet. May give better results once I
tune to a more optimal frequency.

The bulb doesn't glow unless earth ground is connected.
The bulb still glows, but glows less brightly, when only one lead from the bulb is connected to one lead on the grenade coil.
This is similar to what John.K1 reported.

My kacher driver is drawing about 0.9A @24V with the 15W bulb connected across the grenade coil,
and drawing about 0.5A when I disconnect the bulb from the grenade coil.
Kacher frequency was about 1.6MHz in this test, but as mentioned this is with no tuning at all yet
for an optimal frequency.

If I connect earth ground, which is also connected to one lead of the grenade output, to the supply negative
of the kacher driver, output voltage of the tesla coil drops quite a bit, as does the current consumption of the kacher driver.
Placing a diode in either direction between earth ground (which is connected to one lead of the grenade coil) and
the kacher negative does not have any effect. I am using a bench power supply however so a ground loop back
to the power supply may be affecting results. If I connect earth ground to the kacher driver negative only
and not to an output wire on the grenade coil, it drops the current consumption of the kacher driver a bit.

The bulb is glowing brighter than it appears in the attached pictures.

I also tried to take a picture of the arcing to a screw driver from the 'antenna' coil, to try to
show the color of the arcing, but it didn't come out well. Maybe I need a shorter exposure time.
I don't know much about photography. The arc color actually has a bit more reddish color
in it than it shows in the picture, but the reddish color is getting overwhelmed in this photo
by the brighter violet color.

All the best...

Hi Void. 

Good job!    Now to sort out how to make it even more briher with granade on the ground.  As you say everything drops down. I tried to calculate he frequency with the added ground wire and from my previous 1.87MHz it should be now 1.38 MHz.  I have it tuned to that frequency but no effect so far.  I only registered you get a little bit more if the Kacher's emitter's ground is the common with that on the grenade. ( I used separate before)   

I also added some more turns on that ferite rod, but again I do not see any difference on the output.  This is pain in an ars   Need to more work on it as I believe in it

Hi John. I get no glow on the 15W bulb unless earth ground is connected to one lead on the grenade coil.
With the earth ground not connected to the kacher MOSFET Source (supply negative), I get much higher
output voltage on the tesla coil.
With the 15W bulb connected to the grenade coil and lighting up, kacher driver is 0.9A @24V.
With the 15W bulb disconnected, 0.5A @24V.
Yes, I only have a small heatsink on the kacher driver, and it gets hot fairly quickly. Need a
better heatsink and a fan for continuous use.

All the best...

Regarding what people are calling the 'antenna' winding, I believe that you can use a piece of aluminium
or copper foil in a cylinder shape over the 'inductor' winding and it may work just as well.
From my own testing, this 'antenna' winding is acting as a capacitive top load on the tesla coil
and its primary mode of radiation is via the electric field. So I think it is primarily passing
energy to the grenade coil though capacitive coupling (electric field), rather than through magnetic coupling.
If this is correct, and my own testing seems to confirm that it is primarily capacitive coupling to the
grenade coil (it works about the same with an aluminiun foil sheet in a cylinder shape as the radiator),
then it may not matter much at all in which direction the 'antenna' winding is made in. You may
get just as good results with an aluminium foil cylinder as the radiator. Since we don't know
what makes this device work however, you should probably stick to the way Akula and Ruslan did
it until you get over unity, then you can experiment as you like. 
All the best...
