OU/COP>1 switched cap PS cct like Tesla's 'charge siphoning'

[Grumpy]

I am familiar with some of Catt's ideas and he has some good ones.

I don't suspect that the energy is reflecting back and forth, but I have heard of charging in discrete steps and tend to agree with that.

I think what the jumping coax shows is that the displacement current is real and that it exists just after initial connection of the circuit to a dipole - even if the circuit is "open".  So, one could say that displacement current is induced when a dipole (i.e. having an energy source - transformer in this case) circuit is "changed" - in this case, the switch was the "change" and the diplacement current went right across the gap since the displacement current resides in the dielectric which is continuous even though the gap is open (as if the gap were a cap).

There are several things I have not verified such as what sort of energy, if any, remained in the coax after the displacement pulse, and what relationship "current density" has to the energy stored in a capacitor.  In any even. if you can store a large amount of energy than you apply then you can discharge this energy to your advantage.

However, even if you can store 10x the energy you apply, a battery is still a better power source, so charging batteries looks interesting too.

ALL RIGHT EVERYBODY!!!!

I HAVE A STUPID QUESTION TO ASK EVERYONE!  i have a crane that is currently recieving  59 volts and recieving over 11 amps off of a radio station next door,  stupid question is how do i stop this?

lol

2 pounds of sugar in their generator fuel-tank should do the trick

...y'see Grumpy, THAT'S what i call a knife!

nul points and grumpy,

i don't know where else to turn!  i know this may seem a little weird, and i can guarantee you this is very strange to me as well.  all i want to do is stop this effect so we can han iron.  we have a job that has a am radio station right beside it, and the load line of the crane is "HOT" .  what can we do to stop this problem?  we can light two 40 watt florescent tubes, taped to the load line, and still have 59 volts at the ground point. 

we know that it is the radio station because we hooked a speaker up to the headache ball and you can hear the broadcast.  that is without a radio.  just curious if this could help you guys or if you could help me?  no pun intended!

ps:  that was a five watt speaker that we were using for the test and we are at least 1000 yards from the transmition towers.  last hope thanks for any info!

What holds the polarization of the dielectric?  What force keeps the material stressed?

I know it is not electrons on the plates because I can remove the plates and replace them with other plates and the energy is still stored in the dielectric.  Most dielectrics will not hold a state of compression so spare me the mechanical explanation if you think of it.

There is something very subtle going on in a dielectric.
