Lords of the Ring

hello all me agin

well in my post a few pages back does it light a bulb the answer is yes it has the power to light a blub i used a 120v blub ay 60w and discharged the cap to the bulb and it was lite up but will not stay lit ofcourse  ok so what i see it it now must spinn and it must have more controls filling the cap faster than the light bulb can drain it and the bulb will stay lit i inputted 12 vdc @1amp to the coil it can fill the cap fairly fast bout 8 seconds or so i will be playing around more

gk the oreo cookie 

does the alum work as a deflector dirrevting the re  to the easy flow collector ? that is wraped between to 2 alum plates if so that tpu kind of works like a tube ? no?

ist

hey gk  the turbo cookie alum ring  lol!

has it ever glowed with plsma? or can you see any re sparks or bursts when it has been run? it looks so kool the re with the magnets any way

Yes to the alum deflecting. The signal did appear on the EZflow. That would be normal. I got shocked and did not want to do any more unforeseen damage. There was no visible energy. There are 2 things now that scare me. Women with guns and live coils. LOL. This morning I removed the EZflow and am going to hook it up to the Tri-Fet drivers to test for a rotating field. I will use the ECD pvc-based holder to suspend the Turbo coil with the tri-fets inside the coil like Turbo had showed originally. Plug -n- play time.

Both of my controllers have a fault that I need to engineer out. That is the signals are not coupled for synchronizing. Simple patch. But with discreet freqs I have different capabilities.

GK:
   Think thats scarey? Just let the wife get ahold of the credit card and a store full of sale items.   ^_^

One up on me. No shocks yet but a tingle or two.

@all coil dudes

I said I would do some research on ion collectors and maybe I hit the jackpot? for you more electronically knowledgeable guys to judge 

This device is definitely worth checking out as an ion collector. It's potential is kind of scary given the amount of ions the TPU can generate. An interesting excerpt from the article which drew my attention:

Therefore, another name for electron multipliers is avalanching ion detector. 12 stages of acceleration will usually give a gain in current of 10 million.

Maybe we don't need 12 stages!

and this:

The avalanche can be triggered by any charged particle hitting the starting electrode with sufficient energy to cause secondary emission. Hence the electron multiplier is often used as an ion detector. It could also be triggered by a photon causing vacuum photoemission of at least one electron. In a photomultiplier tube, a photo-emissive surface is followed by an electron multiplier with several sequential multiplying electrodes called dynodes. Because these electrodes are separate from each other, this might be called a "discrete-dynode" multiplier. A voltage divider chain of resistors is usually used to place each dynode at a potential 100-200v more positive than the previous one.

One of these things with two or four 100v stages (possibly powered from the phase and zero outputs) might be useful?

for complete details see:

and for details on the Photomultiplier tube see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photomultiplier

The above page has a couple of links to excellent PDF's giving circuits etc:

Chapter 12 of 'Photomultiplier Tubes Basics and Applications' from Hamamatsu Photonics seems very relevant to me...


Eeek, maybe lightning strikes are not so bad after all!
