Negative resistance via pyroclay.com material ?

One other thing I think is very important to this....resonance is key to a good constant spark...If you are out of resonance a spark will still occur but intermittent. The power supplies that have worked are very high frequency, The ones that worked the best are PWM's they have a sensing loop that triggers discharge of a small cap giving the sharp impulses....But if you are interested in just making the n-type diodes, A high frequency pulsing circuit would do the trick..it just wouldn't be COP>1...resonance holds the input electrons in a kind of "flux" they are not allowed to leave....this then lets ambient energy come in. But anyway I need to get back to my work.

Regarding the link about plasma arcing to make diodes...I just want to make it clear that I am not saying that's exactly what I made...simply that is the proscess...the intense heat of the plasma and the aperance of smoke tells me that CO2 is the gas here...as I used stainless steel...there is probably some Feo2 and Cro2 in there as well....but non the less it was excited in one direction, meaning the layering is atomically aligned, most likely making a type of semiconductor.

Hi RadiantEnRg,

please, if you have a minute,
could you please draw up at least a block circuit diagram,
how you connected the clay bead and the transformer
between your Power supply and the fan motor
and specify the fan motor.

Maybe you can do this in a more slow video, where you
describe and show in detail,
what you are using and where all the cables
go...
From all your videos you make all very fast and
assume, one knows, where the connections are,
but we as the viewers are "newbies" to your setup
and can?t exactly see where all theconnections go,
so it is very hard to follow, what you are exactly doing...
Also the youtube quality is not very good, so
sometimes one is missing a cable..

By the way, the video with the running starter motor, where
is went boom, did you drive the starter motor with just one wire
or was it hooked up between fan ground and power supply ?
What was the power supply ? AC or DC and what voltage ?

Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.

sorry didnt mean to imply that you had claimed the idea or stole it or anything like that, I was just pointing out the how visually similar your setup looked to naudin's, so I was trying to say you litterally stole it, sorry joke gone wrong. But, I am going to pulse charge a 5kv cap tonight, get some silica dust from the enamel shop, and try making some beads on different metal surfaces and see if I get similar results.  Well see what happens!

Also you mentioned a PWM circuit that had a sensing loop. I have never seen a PWM built this way, usually they are motor speed control circuits that use a 556 chip (dual 555) set up in comparator form using a capacitor and potentiometer to control the CR timing (which is a function of the charging and discharging of a capacitor at a given resistance) They set out whatever signal you tell it to using the pot. Thats why its called pulse width modulation, because you vary the width of the pulse, which is almost always a square wave. If you had a feedback loop you would probably find the resonance of the motor, (if set up correctly) but you would not be able to "control" the speed of the motor efficiently which is what PWM is all about. Sorry if Im being picky, its just that I dont want people to get confused, its dificult enough to communicate over these blasted contraptions.
