The Concentric Capacitor - Key to the Kapanadze Device and similar FE Concepts?

Those motors are rather large.

Wouldn't it be better to just buy one and then to connect it to custom-built capacitors?

As a said, it was built just for test. Th motors are 1/2 hp and with VFD , low voltage connections and low RPM, the system is pulling about 75 Watts.

I built my test bed based on a Voss machine style
As I found very little information on the Pidgeon model
      used in Linden.
That and I had issues with the belt mechanism on the Whimhurst...
It's much simpler with only one spinning disk.
This machine runs on a 5c Dc motor
Pulling 0.51A @ 6V.  ~ 3Watts input
After about 30 seconds of flipping it on
I punched a hole through plastic rated for 700Kv


I don't know the upper limit, from what I read
  This machine is based in the size of the capacitors.
But my goal is to keep it low, steady and somewhat stable.


The outside plates of all capacitors are linked to a common ground rod.
Which is connected to Earth Ground. (This is for safety not functionality)


I made a 4 "Mr Teslonian" step-down transformers, they do work but generate not much current.
I can get a steady 30v out of mine but are otherwise useless. At least to me.


The main jars on the machine collect the charge, they are currently 'leyden' with 1/2 inch of saltwater
and the 4 smaller capacitors in front are for stabilization


Output voltage and frequency are controlled by a spark gap

I am toying with several styles of concentric capacitors
I also have a pair of perforated ones

Ok well I can't seem to resize photos on my iPhone for some reason
So I went with a short video showing my ion generator in operation

I will send an update soon with a few different capacitor designs
That I am currently experimenting with

[sm0ky2]

This is a rudimentary concentric capacitor
Made from plastic cups


This arrangement has 6 plates.
With just the outer two plates connected


The second test has all 6 plates connected
  Higher voltage is obtained at the cost of lower frequency

I've gotten my machined tweaked down to the point where it
is only pulling 1.5 Watts through the motor.
Friction on the brushes is about all I can improve at this point.
After turning it off it will continue to spin and spark for about a minute.
