The secret to Overunity

[D.R.Jackson]

This is interesting because I think I was doing this very thing, I replaced a capacitor with an inductor, in fact a transformer to make use of the power level I saw in the capacitor.

This version shows the capacitor C1.

Actually I see that in re-reading the first post in these threads the ideas are not the same but they sounded similar to mine.

Can you beat that with any ferrous material on Planet Earth?

sounds messy....

the HV source will of course have current but you don't need significant current to push charge into a low ESR high voltage capacitor. If you have doubts try it for yourself. And the time it takes for full recharge is 5*RC time constant which is doesn't depend on current either its formula speaks for itself. It is only function of the resistance and capacitance.

As example 3kv cap of 1uF with ESR of 0.3 ohm can store 4.5 joules in 0.000000015 s. This technically means you can charge it and recharge it 333k times per second. with a frequency up to 333khz. The time can be made shorter still by increasing voltage beyond the rating of the capacitor.

I do not discharge the cap into a resonating tank circuit as you stated, but I discharge it into inductor forming together the tank circuit only during discharge then the circuit is opened to recharge the cap again.

There is such a system called the E-stress amplifier which works by electrostatic induction. Its both practical and economical. Use it, share it, build it or do what you want.
