Kapanadze and other FE discussion

[magnetstoo]

  After viewing the video, this schematic shows what I found to the best of my knowledge.I included the part# of the "Signal Transformer" and any pertinent info.I hope Im not chasing down a rabbit hole again or sending anyone else.Don Smith taught over in Europe and Asia after being rejected in the USA with his patents.I keep wondering if Terial Kapanadze was inspired at any point or if he even knew of Don Smith.Im still waiting for parts to come in so I can continue.The 4w Linear Amp (no brand name) came from EBAY for 88$ US out of China--took about 1 week.
  My work bench is a non-insulated wooden table which also lends to hv migration.I believe also the GND system had a lot to contribute,not that its poor but its a separate system.The ext. gnd uses a 60ft silver coated multi-strand 00 wire attached to a 4ft x 3/4" copper water pipe hammered into the ground next to the house.Also,the scope Probe was not even connected,just its GND..The probe end was sitting near the Trfmr.Also,the computer would not turn back on,even after I shut the VARIAC off.Only when the amp was turned of did it start back up and I found the USB ports dead..So I suspect the whole Gnd system was modified somehow.The computer is an old Windows ME Celeron 2.8 Ghz (it was,now its a 2.2 GHz Celeron)   that wont give up.The Vector Vid power supply was not affected at all.....This is all I can tell you because there is no more.

  Short update....the VARIAC, when I turn it on (set at 0%),I notice it sends out a single pulse into the transformer,probably due to the in-rush of voltage/current.This pulse varied in freq. but
I notice one was in the 44MHz-48MHz range (pulse too short to capture),some higher.So it must have pulsed at ~44MHz and started that avalanche...I also notice on my secondary 20MHz TENMA Palmscope, that ~18MHz is a more pronounced frequency and the 44.7 MHz,,,plus others,,, are buried in between these pulses....My conclusion is the ext GND was modified and caused all this that was connected  to it.--which interests me more, now that I know what to look for.
      If you have a 20 MHz scope with a zoom capability,look in the 50nS range,you may be able to measure up to 100MHz.They are at very small voltages.My house is presently at +3v 60Hz (voltage varies with day & weather) just sitting on stuff...That kind of voltage is not coming from a 120v 60Hz source.My house is also about 1/2 km from a small power station  and 3/4 km from overhead high tension lines.

  Here's the video if interested   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyrFFk7P0v4  some cussing at the end,,sorry for that..

EIO.com now informs me they do not have any PCSU1000 but are contacting the manufacturer (for a discontinued product? !!)--I ask "why advertise?"
I  find my ext gnd. is sitting at 330mvDC relative to the electrical ground,the wire measures 3.3M ohms and has at least a 180kHz frequency.
I have not been able to recreate  the surge or whatever you can call it.
I have repaired the 24v 5watt linear amp (scavage-ing parts from a 1watt amp)and running it at or near where it avalanched but the resonant frequency is now only at 41MHz to 42 MHz...not 44MHz or 52MHz? (where the bulb lit).I may have to buy another 5w amp or bigger. Here is another schematic that I made trying to make sense of this.
  I did find,when it is resonating,the transformer core ,the linear amp body (=24v power gnd),and the outside ext. gnd. all rose to .5v to 1v depending on the tuning.So I did have a positive voltage feeding back into the ground of the scope at some unknown freq.

 -This system had 60v-90v out of it to the bulb, though at a low current, I seen this when the  o-scope was working...  Well, my present idea on what happened was an oscillation got set up in the 10:1 transformer ,perhaps the VARIAC too,and then resonated into the 120v coil --this caused the 12v side to go to possibly 900v.Best  guess it is.I have had that OSC take high voltage surges and the most it would do was hang and tell me the USB could not be found...always a USB issue.That O-scope did not like static electricity.Ive had static settle on my table and it then took over the keyboard..opening windows,menus,programs,occasionally shutting down.... But I do not remember,a flat, shut OFF.I could not get that system to do it again.So Im now shoving--at 50MHz-70MHz-12v into a micro-wave trfmr using a different Linear amp and a bi-fi 38g antennae coil as pickup..,because my 30v amp got shorted out again and I do not have anymore spare parts.Brightness looks about the same as with  the disaster bulb but Its costing 11v @ 1.6a input to get it.....No VARIAC here.Variac was used to try and add a 60Hz to the 50MHz.
