  He also states that this coiled tuned ground line, does not then even need a ground rod, and can be left open.
  So, the ground line is acting as some kind of ground line/antenna circuit. Adding tuning caps on the ground line can also help to fine tune, or adjust for the best performance, at the grenade's output bulbs.
Or is that just my imagination going wild again? As I only understand one word out of ten, or more.

Hi Nick. I don't know what Ruslan has said in that regard, but a counterpoise wire does not need to
be earth grounded to be effective when used in certain antenna configurations, so this might possibly be the case here as well.

@John: Your setup looks very nice and neat. This is the way to avoid confusion and to get consistent results. A maze of clipleads strewn haphazardly all over the place is not only unsafe when HV is concerned, but also hard to make stable when HF is concerned because of stray inductances and capacitances. Since these devices are both HV and HF it is important to use clean, logical layout, with minimum interconnecting wire lengths and solid connections, not cheap Chinese clipleads.
I like your 3-d printed supports, too. That's a nice touch.

@Nick: The fact that you blew out your brand new 260n mosfet means that you must be doing something wrong. Those are pretty robust, I used them for my induction heater that I've demonstrated before and I also use one in my latest SSTC, the one that is driven by the PLL with interruptor to make a train of pulse groups. Particularly, the layout can cause mosfets to fail by having too much inductance in the gate drain and source wiring, which can cause excessive ringing and unwanted voltage spikes.
Also... you have pointed out what I call "Violation of Conservation of Miracles". How is it that these fellows have _so many different_ designs that all "work", when honest sincere researchers like yourself, John, and others on this thread cannot duplicate any of them? I know why, and I think you are beginning to realize why.

  It would be good if Ruslan showed the difference the output can have, by tuning the coiled ground line, then showing the same tuned coiled line connected to a grounding rod. Then uncoiling it and show any differences, when coiled, or when not coiled, and connected or not connected to the ground rod.
We'll have to try it out on our own in any case.

It would also be very helpful if Ruslan showed what happens to the ligt bulb brightness when he powers off the tesla coil driver, and
what happens to the light bulb brightness when Ruslan places his hand near the tesla coil or near to the 'antenna' coil, or what
happens to the light bulb brightness when Ruslan draws an arc from the end of the 'antenna coil'. There are actually lots of other
simple things Ruslan could do if he wanted to makes things much clearer for other people. I have little doubt that if Ruslan
really wanted to show exactly how he connects everything up and exactly how he tunes everything up to get his devices self running,
he could do so with one single 20 minute or less video showing this all step by step. It seems that in reality Ruslan doesn't really want
to make it so easy for people to replicate his setups, assuming that at least some of his setups really do work.

    TK:
    Have you even tried to make this set up work yourself?  Or, do you think that it's not even possible?
So, why even try... You might learn something, if nothing else. Or is there another better device to replicate?
   
   Neither John, or myself nor anyone else has actually replicated any of the Ruslan/Akula devices, not one person. That may have something to do with why the results have not been anywhere close to being the same.
Everyone is making their own versions, and no one is getting anywhere at all by doing so.
Years are starting to go by.

 
  I am currently using the IRFP260N fets on my modified Mazilli induction crt. And have been for a long time, so I am familiar with using them. And yes, obviously I did something wrong, but I don't want to blow any more of those fets, by playing around, for now. Until I get some of the 2sc5200 transistors to test out. I was surprised by their price, with free shipping and all. But, Ruslan did say that fets may work better for the Kacher crt, at some point, Don't know if he still thinks so now.
   I was going to make another Mazilli, to connect up as a new Kacher crt.  But, I have not done so yet, as I still have some doubts about that, and I don't know if it will be able to reach the 1.5 to 1.7mhz running frequency.

  My main concern for now is obtaining those 2000v WIMA caps, and the best working transistors, and mosfets to use, as well as also obtaining a 120v to 24v 10 to 15amp PS for the feed back path.
