ENERGY AMPLIFICATION

[Magluvin]

I Have finished reading of that PDF. Have to say I need to read it probably more times as I do not fully follow. Long story short I have made extended TBC ( by using 0.127 mm thick brass sheets, thick plastic tape between ,height is around 50mm and the length around 200mm- making me 4 turns of spiral) and I am feeding it with HV from the flyback. I have also putted the 120W 220V halogen lamp in series with the spark gap between CD points. I can see nice very bright  sharp and load sparks (SG is not heating-possibly because  cold electricity) and the bulb brightnesses corresponds to the power in ( I go up to 18V @ 2.6A) How can I see a benefit from using this device?  The same effect I can get by using standard capacitor too.
The first thing I was thinking when I saw this special coil is the Vasmus device. He has something similar in his device too. Just he is using some permalloy or mu-metal.

Good luck

Hey John

Did you make the opposing coils also?    Im trying to use a bifi coil in the same manner as the cap coil in the pdf, where the spark happens where the bifi coils join in the middle. Only using about 1kv source.

Just trying things. I intend on making the cap with foil as in the pdf. Need  to find the insulator/dielectric material. Might have to get online.

Hi Mag. What you mean opposing coils?  I have made the same as on the picture in pdf.  Like a capacitor - two brass sheets and the insulator between rolled in to the free spiral.

As the insulator I have used some heavy duty foil duck tape. It is as thick as a capton tape.

In the pdf there is mentioned ground - no picture there how to connect the ground. It might be it.  Could the location of SG be important too? I putted it beside my coil. Maybe it shout be somewhere in the middle? It could make a sense as sparks emits particles.

Good luck

I like the flicker...for output...

yeah....funny how incandescent bulbs are frequently broken when someone flip the switch

You know that's because of the mechanical stress caused as the filament rapidly heats don't you?  They used to sell button shaped NTC thermistors that one placed in the bottom of a lamp socket that limited the inrush current and associated mechanical stress to cold incandenscent bulbs.
