Nuclear Resonat Battery test soon to come

Quick update.

I spent some time making different inductors, and the best, with a Q of 100 was an AM radio ferrite loop antenna. Others , including a pot core ferrite which gave me a huge  800uH with just 12 turns of enamelled wire had a Q of 50. The copper coil in the pictures  was much also better with caps of less capacitance than  the 0.25uF I previously used and also had a Q of 100. I only experimented with the AM antenna, which I resonated with a cap of about 100pF from memory.

Unfortunately, when I surrounded the coil  of the ferrite antenna with the U salt there was no improvement in the Q when the LC circuit was pulsed. 

I also tried putting the U salt in a plastic vial and waving close to an AM  radio tuned to a faint radio station, just as in the pdf I uploaded, but there was no improvement.

I had a quick look at the mCElrath cold cathode tube patent,  I was looking for some value for the current, between the cathode and anode, because the currents available with radioactive sources are incredibly small. For his tubes to be useful he would have had to have worked some magic as there is no way normal radioactive elements could give milliamps of current.  Any ideas...

Hi
I just remembered that Bruce Perrault was always saying that it never worked.

The pics show how there is no improvement in the Q of the coil when bathed in Uranium salt.

More tests!
Uranium salt now inside a coil. The uranyl nitrate is touching the bare copper. Thin wax tape on the outside keeps it inside the coil. LC Q is about 30x5 , according to kator's method,or 150.
C is about 300pF for best Q.

Compare decay of oscillations with and without the uranium.

Is there a difference?
