Bedini Energizer Coil Question

[mscoffman]

Like with audio crossover electrolytic capacitors you can make an AC electrolytic
capacitor by placing two equal electrolytic capacitors back-to-back with opposite
polarity. Oil filled AC capacitors are another possibility. We have been through
enough LENR to know that it may very well be that special processes happen in
water based acid/lead batteries (and not lithium batteries for example) when
presented with high voltage pulses.

Since hydrocarbons repress LENR you would not expect to see LENR based OU
conditions happening in oil-filled capacitors. Electrolytic capacitors are simply
too funky to be used as an experimental metric component. (LENR conditions
may be what is making them act funky.)

Check out using an "antenna" of "dead" sulfated acid/lead batteries as a sensor.
These could very well work by coordinating HV pulses applied to an acid/lead
battery in conjunction with other external processes.

Thank you both Paul-R and mscoffman, for pointing out these important differences on certain capacitors. I have been writing notes on multiple concepts about different primary things involved in learning about concepts surrounding OU, including coils and their design, differences with capacitors, radiant energy, magnetism, back emf, circuit types. So many different things to incorporate into one's repertoire of new knowledge. I appreciate all of you all's knowledge and expertise, both theoretical and experimental.

So back to the capacitor question:

In order to maximize the use of this design with dc capacitors then, since this is a dc circuit [as most of the designs I have seen, and we'll go on that assumption for now, otherwise a bridge rectifier would have to be used] it seems that:

1. There needs to be a high voltage electrolytic capacitor to intercept the radiant energy spikes right off the bat coming from the Main coils, then
2. A lower voltage electrolytic capacitor(s) [acting as a storage bank] that can be filled by these spikes from that high voltage via some sort of a switching circuit [mechanical, Arduino, 555, comparator, etc], and can be used to provide excess energy back into the circuit or
3. Used to charge a battery of the correct voltage level
4. Or routed to an inverter, etc
5. Or ?

Do these conclusions seem accurate, although facile?

Also, from what I have read other than electrolytic capacitor type, the right capacitor needs to be used at the right point in this setup. The concept of low-ESR vs high-ESR seems to come into play. Add to that the value for Farad also. I have seen some values of uF being as high 200000 and maybe 80-100 volts, and then some being very low fractional uF with very high voltage, then moderate value uF and low voltage anywhere from 2.5 to 50 volts, and it seems everything in between.  I've also read of Super and Ultra capacitors, and also photo flash capacitors.
So all of this can be very confusing in trying to work through the logic in the analysis and understanding of how to implement intelligent design here, especially for those of us not skilled in the art. I just want to thank you all who are proficient and schooled. People like me need your help a lot. I know coming to the forums takes time out of your lives when you could be doing other things.
