ENERGY AMPLIFICATION

@ watt & everyone else
There is a fundamental difference between the connections
On the rotary containing the spark gap
The upper point (near G) is a gap
The lower point is a connection
The motor is always on, it's dc........

Dear sm0ky2.

I have to disagree with you again.

The motor IS controlled by the rotary switch. You have source " A " onto " K " ...... " G " connects to the series windings and armature of the motor finally ending up at source " B " .

As the source would be relatively low in voltage I would consider it " in automotive " parlance to be the " LT " circuit.

Been doing some research. The line level could be around 500vdc then. Some places higher, closer to the source, and lower into the 200 to 300vdc at the furthest reaches of the system. Thats where the advantage to ac comes in. The source voltage is boosted via transformer and can be sent long distance to step down transformers. Even before it gets to homes it is around 1500vac till it hits a transformer near the home and brought down to 120vac. DC could not be transformed down the line as ac can, back then. 

Imagine having 500vdc at an outlet. Was not a very safe system in my opinion

If when the H controller switch opens, the motor could still be powered some till the cap is full or say at its max voltage level in operation. Still wondering if the large depiction of the cap means a large cap. What was large in those days?

I think people are confused about what is actually going on
The way he is using the motor to charge the cap
The commutator in the motor breaks the dc and inverts it
Forming ac
All dc motors do this
thats what the brushes and slip rings are for
The brushes on the +side of the motor (G) are the opposite
of the commutator
When one is "off" the other is "on".
The dc current from the source is not interrupted
Meaning the source does not see a "pulsing load"
Like the way I keep hearing people try to imagine this


The capacitor picks up the pulses that the commutator creates
Not the commutator at brush G, but the one inside the motor
All motors do this
Don't get caught up on his trick to make this one be the way it is


The capacitor Does see a high frequency pulse
Which is amplified by the low self inductive Primary.
The dc commutator lets the field go
It "interrupts" it
Because the field coils in the motor have a high inductance
It dumps to the cap when the motor switches


He's not "turning the motor off and on"
