Single circuits generate nuclear reactions

Groundloop's nice drawing of carbon cylinders and idea of FETs mounted on toroid PCBs does clear up some of my concerns about the pic. It would make sense to have the FET switching some output back to the rod, and of course you would want the FET as close as possible to the toroid/rod to simplify the wiring in a 10toroid unit and also it should sharpen the rods rise time due to less wiring capacitance.

I'm trying to get hold of bigger caps so I can use some of my bigger carbon battery rods. I will also be ditching my neo mags for now and will try different levels of DC bias in the collector toroid as per Juan's document.

I'm about to pick up some of these and make a configurable discharge array

One more thought: If the beta manifests after 20ms and that power is fed back to the rod then the system will oscillate at around 1s/20ms=50Hz.... coincidence....

I'm going to try to scope some beta rays with photo paper.  I only have 200V ~1200uF, but perhaps if I discharge it into a small cross sectional area with a strong field I will get some particles.   

This will at least give us a clue to what we are dealing with.

Fingers crossed!
