Kapanadze Cousin - DALLY FREE ENERGY

[TinselKoala]

Close to the modus operandi of Kapanadze? Difficult to say. Here the spark gap dissipates the energy (not collecting it), but since it is impossible to measure the total energy radiation of that spark precisely, it might be the case that the antenna collects additional energy from the environment in order to create that spark. At least I can't think of a method other than this, that creates such a huge spark by means of an inverter rated at 100 watts. Strange indeed.

I can.

Watch this video, and note that the power supply is delivering between 1.5  to 5 amps at 18 volts DC, with most of the high-energy sparking happening at under 2 amps, that is, less than 36 Watts from the power supply :

No antenna, no Earth ground in use. You shouldn't let yourself be so impressed by a few sparks.

What's really impressive about the video you linked is the way the video maker is so casual about his circuit, touching it with both hands in that way. No wonder you so seldom hear about further updates from people like that -- most of them have probably electrocuted themselves.

  There is no shock, from any of the TK, Akula, and Ruslan devices, at the output. As far as I've seen, or felt on my own unit. As magnetic current is the main driving force, at the output.
   
   SR 193 had mentioned that the spark gap does not need to have an "intense spark", to do it's job. Although he only was able to light a 150w bulb, and not any higher wattage bulbs at that time.

    Both aquarium devices, use that type of bleed off spark gap. To drain excess charges, not to cause the spark. If there is no excess to drain off, due to higher loading, the discharge spark won't fire.  That's my theory, for what it's worth... Or why would you allow the spark to discharge like that and be lost? 

   Ruslan has shown a mayor spark when shorting out the rails on his 0.47uf tuning cap, but, no shocks from the output coil.  As it's mostly magnetic current, with only very little hot electric current, comparatively. 
  Akula's spark on his second video device (1500w) , was barely visible.

  The expensive 0.47uf caps used by Ruslan is the trick there. A similar WIMA 0.47uf snubber capacitor cost $30, each.  Non snubber 0.47uf 2000v (below) cost 12 to 15 dollars. And, Ruslan uses several of them in parallel. He is also now giving the Kacher a 53 volt input, he mentioned was needed to obtain the higher output effect shown in his last video, of 4000w output.

   Building up a Kacher circuit that uses real high voltages may not be necessary, nor is there a magic frequency that works best. The spark gap is only needing to exert a high voltage at a matched frequency to trigger the proper heterodying effect.  Since the band width is very, very narrow, most people will not find it, or be able to tune for it, even guys with all the test instruments, like Itsu. He could not reach the right frequencies.
   
  Spark gaps are easier to tune, than electronic circuitry.  But, they are noisy, let off smelly ozone gas, and effect nearby electrical devices. Up to 1 kilometer away, according to Akula's third device tests.

  Ruslan said that if he takes his device apart, it won't work the same if reassembled by someone else.
   Well, I wish that he would let us "fools" be the judge of that. And just make a long instructional video, to show us all HOW he re-tunes it up, again, so that it works like before.

  TK:  Interesting video.
      That's why I think that the 0.47uf WIMA caps are so important. Otherwise using caps of lesser voltages, and values, will filter out too much of the HV that gets radiated into the grenade's inductor coil, and also into the rest of the HV 2000v caps on the 3 turns yoke coil, as well as to the rest of the whole entire circuit.
   Also a 0.47uf cap is much more expensive than a similar 0.33uf, or 0.22uf, or even a 0.68uf, 2000v WIMA cap.  Why do you think that is???
 
   If the HV is filtered out to a sufficient degree, by improper tuning caps, you can't hit on the best resonant peaks, and have to down tune to find a lower harmonic or peak to tune to. Which can cause the device to not be able to self run itself.
  Using the right bulbs, is also very important. No self runner of the Akula/Ruslan devices has been shown self running, when using small wattage bulbs. Please correct  me if I'm wrong.
 
   Gegene, also had to use over a 500 watt input, on the induction cooker circuits, to be able to light 2000-3000watt worth of bulbs. He couldn't do that when drawing lesser currents/voltages.
Of course those bulbs were not fully bright, nor was the output really fully comparable to the normal grid source.

Its interesting how fierce the spark was when Ruslan attached the second array of lamps to the device in the 'forest' video.

Fierce sparking occurs when the current is smooth DC not AC, because the polarity change of AC (also pulsed DC) extinguishes the spark 100 times a second. With DC you can draw very long sparks once the spark has been ignited.

OK,  if you were deep in the woods and you would want to simply illuminate some 220V light bulbs, would you need an inverter? Not really. Connect 16 batteries each 12V in series and then you have 192V DC in total. The resulting brightness should be sufficient for a video camera. Hmmm ...

Hmm... getting rather close to the truth maybe with 16 batteries or batteries and an inverter buried under the haystack.
