Pulling energy from the ambient energy field using a coil capacitor

[Jack Noskills]

Trying to answer all raised questions,
Cannot take pictures because my camera was smashed to pieces. Don't ask why.
I use GDTs simply because they are the only suitable option for me, I cannot do IGBT magic. GDTs are are good for prototyping but they should be changed to solid state. People build solid state Tesla coils so solid state should work also with this system.
I am not planning to do anymore tests. There are already plenty of interesting things going on that deserve another look. The next step is to study for resonance effects. This is beyond my level at the moment though. It took considerable effort from the WTF moment I had one year ago to get to this point. So it would be great to get help from other experimenters to reach the next level which is resonance study.
I stress again the importance of using low input power when playing with resonance. Do take safety measures written in the pdf seriously and follow them. This is to protect your coils, your equipment and even yourself. But as an experienced developer you already know this.
My net is still slow so I cannot follow what is going here. All the info that is needed for replication is in the pdf.
When you see and hear the white spark for the first time and you realize that it is energy without electrical current you have taken the first step. To achieve this is a very simple task to do and it will bring you to the same level with me. Then the road ahead is now open for you to explore.
Thx for paying attention, bye for now.[/font]

What would you say is the minimum in volts and amps that is required for the pulses fed into the final primary? What the min and max frequency? Is the duty ratio low/high in any way critical?


Should this effect be observable (even tho limited) when a trifilar coil is used, one winding as the primary and the other two as the open coil according to your design?


Would it make sense to try this with a 3vK HV module, directly over a sparkgap, with some heavily insulated wire?


Does it have to be a torroid core? Would a ferrite bar 12cm x 1cm work too?


thanks.

I cannot comment on the frequency as I have no meters of any kind. My guess is that pulse rate does not exceed 1 kHz when using 100nf capacitor and 220V 50 Hz AC drive.[/font]
It takes longer to charge the capacitor of the driver circuit than to discharge it, hence mark/space ratio is small. According to Maxwell induction effect depends on the rate of change of the current through the inductor. So, when the current in the capacitor discharge has reached maximum value it can be turned off. There is no need to drain the capacitor. Tesla used magnetically quenched spark gaps for this purpose but we can use solid state. If we could have a solid state circuit that can control the capacitor discharge time and the rate of these discharges then it would be perfect for resonance testing.[/font]


When you build your first test system I think it is better to make as close to original as possible. So use a closed loop ferrite core and enameled wire. When you got the basic effect you can then change the setup one part at a time and observe what is good and what is not. If this is not possible then you need to experiment with the parameters. I think this system will work with any kind of core and that the simplest coiling solution is the best. It is better to keep the primary and output coils separated. My opinion, not tested.[/font]

Hi Jack and all

Thank you very much for sharing your work and for your very interesting PDF.

As i have a very large air coil used for other experiment on the flyback spike, i dared to use it for attempting a réplication of your system.
As i use an air coil and not a cored coil, and some lower voltage and a mosfet switch. i hope i am not completely out of topic with this test.
But anyway i am very impressed to be able to light the bulb with an open circuit as secondary.

Here a video of the test

Will reread the PDF to better grasp your idea.

@Woopy, great video, thanks a lot! Very encouraging to see you actually confirmed the claim, despite the fact that your setup is rather diffrent from the original. From my point of view, the output is 100% reactive.


@Jack I wish I could stay close to the original, but I have to work with what is at hand.
I am replacing your entire pulse section by the 3kV module with a simple sparkgap. As I know that the module has a dangerous amount of power, I am pretty optimistic.


As the sparkgap may reach not more than maybe 50hz, I will use a steel core. They are ok up to 1kHz.


I wound one output coil (1mm enameled) right on the core, as in your pdf, one helix with 50 turns offset. Ontop of it sits the primary pulse coil, made from plastic insulated 1mm wire. Even if the distance between turns is big (2*0.5mm plastic), the flux will cut the outputcoil when linking with the core.
I've made the coil today, maybe test it tomorrow.
