Homopolar Generators (N-Machine) by Bruce de Palma

You're welcome. I've seen the working prototype of that machine, and it works a treat.

Tesla also had some interesting ideas for homopolar dynamos.

I'm looking for someone who can help me to answer simple question about DC-DC converter ordinary old boost type. Do you know DC-DC converters or maybe do you know somebody here who has experience practically AND theoretically in that topic ?

Indeed, his US406968 design appears to have had true OU potential, but look at the date - 1889.  His polyphase works earned him his living.   Why did he abandon something that might have COP >1?

I will try to find out by building this stuff, as my time, tools, tenacity, talent and turtlebuks allow. That's a lot of T's

Turtle, slow

I'm not much of a theoretician, I mostly just do actual builds and I analyze them according to the theory that makes the most sense to me, that is, conventional electrical theory. However, I'm sure that if you post your question in a thread here, you'll get all kinds of interesting analyses. Some of them will be more "correct" than others, though.
I don't want to mention any names, but there are some real experts reading and posting here, so you will probably get the information you need, from them, or at least references that you can study.
Sorry I can't be more help, good luck in your search. I'd still like to see the question, though.

Here is the question : ordinary boost converter with no load but only a bufer capacitor on output - as you see nothing new.
However what I need to know is the voltage in output capacitor after single cycle of switching : ton + toff.
We know that output cap is charged first to the power source voltage minus voltage drop on diode, what would be the final voltage on that capacitor after ton and then toff passed ? Of course power source voltage is given, also inductance of coil, ton and toff also.
