yes that was in book 5 final secrets Tom Bearden  complete with a circuit.  http://www.cheniere.org/techpapers/Final%20Secret%20of%2015%20Feb%201994/index.html

Do you mean these circuits? They don't exactly correspond to the description above (no coils, no diodes, etc.), but they are simple enough and the claim is robust enough (no depletion of the source while the "collector" charges up and discharges into the load) that it should be relatively easy to check out.

However I  know people who have experimented with these circuits in the past, and they found, unfortunately, that the source does in fact provide all the energy that eventually reaches the load.

But don't let that stop anyone from building and testing. Just please report _all_ your results, including the nulls.

Bingo! Nick you are on the ball. How can you tell it's running if there is truly no load? Thank you for that, no kidding, you have made my day.

Hold on a moment in the TB video he says you need something like 2 or 3 KV but I tried it at a much lower voltage and it didn't work GeoFusion used a spark gap and made a video it's on his web site.

By a curious coincidence I just happen to have a little oneshot multivibrator demonstration set up on a breadboard, using half of a 4013.
It has LED output and pushbutton clocking and at the moment is powered by an aerogel supercap stack.

Simple to connect it to a dedicated square wave oscillator (what frequency?) and the mosfet gate drivers/op amps/mosfets, whatever, on the output side instead of or in addition to the LEDs. And there is another whole flipflop in that chip that isn't being used.


But seriously... a multivib for that application? Better to use a modern half or full Hbridge driver, no? You have more control over dead time, shootthru, protection for the mosfets, etc,

Also I just have to point out that a single pulse charge with "no appreciable work" is not the same as with "no work" and all those little "not appreciable" steps of pulse charging to wind up with a _full_ charge do finally add up to appreciable work. Col. Bearden, nor any of his followers, have yet to eat that free lunch cake.

It would be nice if even just one person out there who says they have encountered unusual
results would demonstrate it in a reasonable way.

P.S. Itsu. Please stick around. Your efforts are always appreciated here.
