Thx, was too blind to look at video description

Well, if you are measuring the voltage across the resistor, as long as the capacitor is large enough to keep the voltage across the resistor stable, then you can simply calculate the current in the resistor. No need for second meter to measure current.

hi Mags and Deepcut

Yes if you know the resistance and voltage, its easy to caculate the amps too, in order to figure watts,
but 99 percent of average people dont "get" for example, that you need a resistive load in order to calculate power/watts output,
and maybe 90 percent of people dont know what ohms law is either and how it works, but maybe 70 percent of people understand that volts X amps equals watts, (maybe) ....so when showing some sort of system to average joe, you can explain things better with two meters, one current, one volts, and leave out the ohms law - it all comes out the same anyways...

Do you remember Romero stating he is getting a parallel sinewave back in the coil shorting thread? I put a small AC cap in parallel to the singing driving coil. Now I can also see that parallel sine wave. With the DC converter ( and a few LEDs) connected to the output set to 12V the output cap fills to 38V. When I short the DC converters output the output caps voltage drops just a little to 35V.

Update: I just switched the rig on again. Now it fills the 40V cap to 50V almost instantly... even with shorted output... But this is just because battery of the meter is empty. Other one shows 35V with or without shorted output.

Hi chal

When you short the output of the DC convertor into cap, try shorting the cap out first to zero volts, and then have the DC converted shorted into the zero-volts cap, in order to bring up the voltage from zero volts in cap  - see if then, the cap goes to 35V - that would be something if that happens.

I think right now, the cap is "already filled" up to 38V, and it drops to 35V but that is because the DC convertor stopped putting out any juice to fill it since it was shorted...but I dont know I might be wrong as usual -

maybe the AC cap in paralell is making a seperate "echo" like power source? 
Does this "35V into cap with DC convertor shorted" thing only work with AC cap in paralell??
