Single circuits generate nuclear reactions

Hmm... so do you think I will I see any particles or not?

I always mean magnetic flux - i.e. moving/varying magnetic field. In fact, I personally do not differentiate between magnetics and electricity since in my book magnetic flux is created by electron's electrostatic field, or by any electrostatic field for that matter. Due to its static nature it should be moving/varying to induce electric current. Otherwise there will be equilibrium between electrostatic fields leading to motionless state.

Maybe you could help me out here. So if I have an electro meter  (old technology) an impart a charge to it so the foils part, then if I understand you correctly I should be able to detect a time varying magnetic field? Or would I see a field similar to a PM, or would I even be able to see the field without disturbing the charge on the foil?

This has always bothered me..........

hi guys,

just a slight distraction, is there a circuit diagram / parts list floating about
somewhere for the pulsed discharge of the cap bank ? i need a reliable
circuit so i don't fry anymore bits.

about 'the box' with the 10 units in, maybe all the switch gear turns on one toroid
at a time depending on demand, can't see it idleing at 60kw with little or no demand.

I'm sure someone will come forward with a switch for you, but I might suggest on your cap bank, use 1/4" Cu tubing and place your caps in a ring with two 1/4" taps at 180'. This will give you the best discharge of the caps. Even if you use a large Cu plate you will get hot spots unless yo are very careful in how you pull the pulse out. Charging is not as important as you will not charge at the same rate as the discharge. Keep in mind symmetry in pulling the pulse and at least a 1/4" Cu for the rails if you are going to at least 1F.

I'll wait and see if you get some help on the switch........

Asking for a purpose, eh? The problem here is directionality: if you will be adding charge to the foils the charge will be saturating the foils evenly, without any directional charge movement while that means detector won't gain any directional movement as well. As for the detection of magnetic field, I think it will be too weak since electrostatic fields of charges that stand still are detached due to electrostatic repulsion. When charges are moving they are likely to collide with each other and create a bigger "tensed" electrostatic fields.

But if you will be charging quickly you'll probably see some magnetic field ripples with your detector.
