Dr. Stiffler's "New" Quantum Energy Reciever.

[synchro1]

I think he is using a high voltage cap from http://www.amazing1.com/capacitors.html. I have several like it, but that specific capacitor is no longer available. There are several similar cap.

@Xee2,

Thanks! This is the kind! It should make a big difference to replicators to use the correct part:

01 µfd 40 kv 8 Joules Large Capacitor with Radial Leads, 1.3" OD x 0.55" with heavy #16 leads. This "beefy" capacitor can be used for many high voltage applications such as potted CR multipliers, Marx Impulse Generators, Shockers and many other high voltage applications requiring low inductance medium/fast high- voltage discharges. This is a real beauty of a brand new capacitor.


- .01µfd 40KV 8J Ceramic Disk Capacitor ... $24.95   (10-24@ $22.95ea.   25-49@ $20.95ea.   50-99@ $19.95ea.   100+@ $18.95ea.)

The DX84-N52 is an incredibly powerful disc magnet.  These discs pack an incredible amount of holding power.  Two of them stuck together will be *very* difficult to separate.  These mighty, magnetic discs are no joke.  Be sure you understand the manner in which large neodymium magnets behave around metal objects and other magnets before ordering by reading our Neodymium Magnet Safety Page.

This size is also available in Grade N42 as part number DX84.

Price: $16.36

Nearly $320 for the 18 magnets and capacitor. The cap would need protective compression bushings.

These magnet are so extremely powerful, it may only take two! That's $58. for the 2 magnets and capacitor!

You could start with just the capacitor and a vise.

@MarkE,

No physical pressure what-so-ever needs to be applied to the capacitor. Two play token "Dominos" one on each side of the capacitor can entirely transfer all the uneeded pressure away from it and keep it completely protected. The pressure is an unwanted side effect. The Gauss on the collector plates remains intact without any physical pressure on the capacitor. Alternately, the capacitor may be hard to crush.

The diisc capacitor's 1 1/3'  in diameter and the disc magnet 1 1/2"'. That leaves 1/6 " for a pressure collar around the rim to protect the capacitor. A snug fit would work best.

Just did a quick test using a 10nF 30kV ceramic disk capacitor, similar to the type Dr. Stiffler
shows in his fourth video, and I only got a few mV across a 47uF electrolytic output capacitor.
I tried using a power bridge rectifier module and I also tried using four UF4007 fast diodes
as the bridge rectifier, and still only got low mV at a very slow charge rate. However for the magnets I was
just using a few ceramic block magnets that I have, but they are fairly strong.  It would be very helpful
if Dr. Stiffler would show the difference in charge rate with the magnets present compared to the charge rate
with the magnets removed, and also show the charge rates when starting with no magnets and step by step
adding a pair of magnets at a time, and showing the charge rate after each additional pair of magnets is added.
I suppose my test setup may have failed if having a very strong magnetic field of some minimum strength is required
to start seeing the higher charge results. Another possible explanation is Dr. Stiffler may have something like a
cell phone tower very close by. If Dr. Stiffler could do the charge rate comparison tests that I suggest here
by starting with no magnets and then adding a pair of magnets at a time and comparing the charge rate
after each pair of magnets is added, that could help clear some things up.
All the best...
