Kapanadze Cousin - DALLY FREE ENERGY

  Guys:
  I've got the SG now. It seams to work, and it did come with one set of the original clip probes, as well.
  I've also taken a look at some YT videos on function generator, signal generators, etz...to see how they work.
  So, I'll disconnect the grenade coil,  and see if I can obtain a self resonant frequency reading from it.
  Any advice is welcome, as always.

Since you don't have a digital storage scope (I didn't either until recently, thanks to this project), you probably want to check the output impedance of the generator and find a resistor of the same value; most are 50 ohm.  Then connect the coil, resistor and generator in series with the ground side clip lead directly connected to the grenade coil.  Lastly, connect your scope directly across the coil with the ground on the same side as the SG.  If the SG has an amplitude output potentiometer, set it down low and get your scope to sync to the signal if possible.  Slowly sweep the frequency manually until you get a maximum amplitude signal on the scope.  You can bump up the amplitude output of your SG a bit as needed, just be careful not to overdrive the scope or SG.  I'll be very surprised if you find the main peak far away from 5.33 MHz, provided your grenade is wound with 37.5 meters wire.  Do the first test without connecting your large grounding wire.  The second run with the ground wire should be a lower frequency.  I don't know by how much until I've had a chance to test mine.

Good luck Nick.  I hope this goes smooth for you, because this is just the beginning to really being able to see inside this device and get a feel for how it has to operate.

  Thanks Dog-One:
   This signal generator is a GoldStar FG-8002,  and it is a 2Mhz function generator. I can buy it if I want, but since it's just 2Mhz,
so, I don't know if it's going to work, if my grenade has a self resonant frequency of lets say 3.2Mhz, or higher.
   Here's clear picture of it, or one very similar to it, but possibly made by another make. I also downloaded the manual for it.

Crud.  I'm afraid it won't reach up there high enough to see the frequency response you are likely to need.  My BK unit goes to 10 MHz which is just barely enough to do the job.  I have both a BK signal generator and pulse generator--the main difference is the pulse generator can do duty cycles of less than 0.1 % which is good for "tapping" a coil, just like you would ring a bell.

As much as I hate to say it, this project has cost me a small fortune in parts and equipment.  My goal was to figure it out, tell people exactly what they need so everyone could order some parts and put a working unit together.  Like you, I'm still not there yet, certainly has nothing to do with a lack of trying.  If I could find me a good translator, fly to Riga, Latvia and lock myself in a room with Ruslan until I have successfully put a working device together, I'd do it.  I have many of the tools he has, but he has some concept in his mind I don't.  Until the light comes on, all I can do is keep thinking and experimenting.  Once I'm sure about certain things, I share it--does me no good to keep it to myself.

In the first of those two videos, the arc is happening when a formerly closed set of contacts, carrying the line current, is opened. The arc forms across a very small gap at first and sustains as the gap opens fully. When the air is ionized it forms a _low resistance_ channel which then allows the energy stored in the inductance of a very long length of wire (the transmission line) to discharge across the gap. It doesn't take anything like the great voltages cited by T-1000 to arc across a low-resistance channel of ionized air.

In the second video, some utter idiot is short-circuiting the transmission line with a length of wire, which instantly vaporizes from the high current. This again produces a _low resistance_ channel of ionized air (and wire material!). The energy which is so spectacularly released is once again the stored energy in the inductance of the long lengths of wire in the transmission line, plus whatever is being continually supplied by the power source, before the line's vacuum breakers (back at the substation) have a chance to shut off the current.

The problem with open air is, it is not isolated gas in tube like you have in CFL. The ions from surrounding air also are active in the process and if you start measuring currents, it is not same as you got on power line. Also voltage spikes there are as well to the range of millions volts.
So you cannot assume it as common wire. Now back to topic - the high stray frequency on top of the low frequency impose same circumstances on the wire itself and the conditions can easily lead to NMR process or similar which provide addional electrons inside of material and these was absent from the power source. This is where interesting things happen with power multiplication and even that is my personal point of view it still migh provide insight to what is happening inside of grenade coil.
