NRG,

Those values are way off, so something's really wrong. Just -->

1. Measure the caps voltage and quickly remove the DMM.
2. Connect the resistor across the cap for a timed period. A 0.1 second resolution timer should be good enough, but you'll need larger R than 5.5K because 2.2 seconds is a bit fast. If you don't have a timer, then download one on your computer. Or if you have a digital time and perhaps a relay or transistor, then you could get better timing.
3. *Quickly* measure the caps voltage with your DMM.
4. Calculate the voltage drop percentage.
5. Enter the resistor, percentage, and time in the calculator and it will tell you the capacitance.

Try to use a DMM that has the highest input resistance, at least 10Mohm, so as to minimize cap voltage decay while you're measuring its voltage.

Paul,

The replication in that video is incorrect, and you will undoubtedly refuse my reasons for why..

Hi NRGFromTheVacuum,

I would not mind hearing the reasons why my replication is incorrect since I believe I'm the first to take the time to replicate your setup and to also make a video.

Thanks for sharing.

When Bifilar is implied, the relative winding direction must be specified:  Are the two wires connected in parallel opposition(maximum capacitance, minimum inductive impedance) or are they in parallel co-linear(minimum ohmic resistance, maximum diverging flux density)?

The coil was made with the wires wound loosely around the core in a parallel co-linear fashion. The ends are then twisted and connected together.

In this case you do not want the wires wound in opposition to each other. The capacitance that builds in the coil causes the relaxation time to increase, which leads to a poor gradient. Without that increased flux density and low resistance, your gradient will be to insufficient to gather the output you desire.

Hi Luc,

Without getting into details, your capacitors voltage values are incorrect.

You did a great job building the circuit from the looks of the video, but the results are poor for the following reasons:


For the source capacitor you need a lower voltage value with high Farads. <-------(This caps written voltage value must always be lower then your collector caps)

For your collector capacitor you need a higher voltage value with low Farads <-------(This caps written voltage value must always be higher then your source caps)



Keep building, the best results will come in due time. I found so far that brass is the best metal to make & break the connections on, copper is only second best.

Paul,

Just please be patient, I will try and get the proper measurements.

I will include measurements for both capacitors directly before and after the experiment takes place.
