Howdy Khabe,

We didn't stop.  We need rest, been working hard!

Howdy Grumpy,

Guess what?  I have been experimenting like a crazy man.  My analog driver board wasn't doing it.  It was generating about 12 watts, way too little.  So I built a power inverter board.  The first time I hooked the inverter up to the Infinity Transformer I blew up all the semiconductors with the inductive kickback from the Infinity Transformer.  So I replaced all the semiconductors with hardcore parts and the inverter works with a regular transformer, but will not drive the primary coil on the Infinity Transformer.  So, then decided to use a Relay Oscillator, which did oscillate and drive the primary,but I didn't like the wave symmetry coming out of that one.  The last setup was a Digital Driver Board driving my relay at about 20 Hertz.  The Infinity Transformer Primary was hooked up in a way that alternates the positive and negative side of the battery on to the primary coil of the Infinity Transformer.  This worked for like an hour of playing, and made some brilliant blue sparks on the relay contact.  Albeit it annihilated the relay.  The drive current and radiant kickbacks made the contacts so hot that the solder connections melted, and the plastic of the relay socket melted around the conducting terminals.  This last setup made some impressive high voltage spikes on the oscilloscope also.

So, Grumpy I have come to the conclusion that I need a motorized commutator to switch currents into the Infinity Transformer.  AllCanadian suggested that I use information from an old Tesla Patent where he is using a DC motor to provide the switching for the Infinity Coil Primary which dumps the inductive kickback from the motor windings into the Infinity Coil Primary.  Is this something close to what you were suggesting with your proposed setup for the Hubbard Coil?  I am studying the Tesla Patent now.  Quickly getting past the point of "off the shelf" components, I am...

Nice progress report Z.

Well, what I suggested does require a commutator or other switch if driven from inductive field collapse or HV DC, but not if driven from capacitor discharge which would require spark gaps or other fast switching - HV and very little current.

Hubbard reportedly used 11.25 kv DC and no capacitors, and a distributor (8 cylinder type).  Some speculative reports said his cores had radioactive materials, some say iron, some say they were magnetized - what I suggested requires magnetized cores.

Entirely different approach really.

I have an inner coil and outer coil wound on magnets but have not tested it yet - been doing other things.

EDIT:  By the way, a distributor will not handle much current, so I doubt the device requires much current to operate.
