The scope, in the video above, is indicating + and - peaks of 470 volts. The peak-to-peak voltage indicated is 940 volts. This voltage is full-wave rectified (the flat tops of the peaks). I should have shown the DC side of the FWB too, sorry. It's not nearly as exciting, being a totally flat line that goes from zero volts to 470 volts at the discharge, over and over again.
My capacitor is only rated 500 volts and I don't want to blow it, so I don't really know how high the peak-to-peak voltage can go, as I am operating with the 470 volt limiting GDT in there. It looks like it could easily go to 600 V, or 1200 V p-p.

"When alternating current passes through a component that contains reactance, energy is alternately stored in, and released from, a magnetic field or an electric field.  In the case of a magnetic field, the reactance is inductive.  In the case of an electric field, the reactance is capacitive.  Inductive reactance is assigned positive imaginary number values.  Capacitive reactance is assigned negative imaginary-number values".


"Reactance is a form of opposition that electronic components exhibit to the passage of alternating current because of capacitance or inductance".


The opposition to A.C. is assigned an imaginary number value. A Negative Micro Henry is a measure of opposition to A.C.

The quotes are correct, your conclusion is not.  Inductance is not reactance.  Inductive reactance is also positive by convention.

You're putting along fine then a spring pokes out and jams the works up. Look, now another Windmill tilting on the Myth Bust the biflar crusade!


Look, the series bifilar has zero reactance unlike the single wrap that produces a directional field. The cancelled fields don't exert opposition forces like the field that produces Negative Microhenries in the single wrap. This is a measure of reactance. The series biflar does not impede A.C. like the single wrap with Negative Micro Henry reactance value. This value generates waste heat! That's the major difference between these types of coils!


This is a very real and important difference!

Don't be silly. I measured the inductance of the BIFILAR COIL as something between 4 and 5 microHenry on my cheap ProsKit RLC meter, which only has 1 uH precision. I measured the tank capacitor on the same meter as 64.5 nanoFarad. I measured the oscillating frequency using the Philips counter, which is my master instrument, has an always-on oven stabilized crystal oscillator and is precise to NINE significant digits. The frequency measured at that time was 303.45 kHz. I invite you to plug some numbers in here:

Try 4.25 uH for the inductance.

Now... reconcile this result with your last post.

Look.... you know that I know that the true TBF winding on a flat pancake coil or a many turn solenoid form does have a difference, due to its greatly increased distributed capacitance. It requires _less_ external capacitance to resonate at a specific frequency and in fact can self-resonate at its own LC frequency without external caps at all, just as any other coil can. The TBF's no-cap resonant frequency will be lower than the straight winding's no-cap resonant frequency because of the increased selfcapacitance.

HOWEVER: in this particular case the TBF winding is a RED HERRING! There are only six turns, ffs, and they are separated by two layers of heavy plastic house wire insulation! The increase in selfcapacitance is not measurable, much less can it be significant or have any detectable effects _in this case_.  Don't forget that I am "replificating" the FTW QEG, and I needed to put in some Tesla patents! Right?
