Otto,

Where did you put them and what values did you use? 

It's just a noise filter - should not stop anything from working, unless you use both diodes and not the single one to pass only the positive spike.

Well after reading this thread for two days now (not wanting to miss anything) I figured I might as well register an account. Interesting... now I can see a lot of images that were not there before. Back to page one I guess.  :-(

Glad to see I'm not the only one trying to get things done in this field.

Guys,
I have something to report.

Last night I was busy pulsing my big coil with many differnt frequencies and different wave shapes...I looked at my incomplete tube amp and wondered if there would be any difference. Im using ss max308 sources.

I connected the output of the tongtail phase splitter...very low level. Then observed the wave form on the collector. I freq only. the other amps are still not quite complete.

what I saw at 30 khz was a little waver....just a tiny waver.like an impedance mismatch. I scanned up and down and found a few more that were less significant.. I did the same thing at 250 odd...and there she is again. I switched back to my ss function generator which has more output and found that I could not see this waver..no matter what level the harmonics of the function generator must  masked it.

The effect is about 6 -9 hz wide and very hard to lock to with the sources that I am using.

I then switched my input to the collector itself and there it was again i switched to the feedback and nothing significant...This is like tuning into a radio signal...not like pumping a coil with spikes...I feel that it is significant.

This little waver is not energy yet it is a reaction that is due the the curcumference of the collector that happens under the conditions that the master has described.

Theres a lot more to do yet but I just thought that every body should know  SINE....perfect sine. Other wise you would not see this particular reaction. Tubes! Im sorry I dont know why,Steven was a pains to explain it...perhaps,just perhaps when the resonsnce or whatever it is happens the tube responds differently to the condition and supplies more little electrons..a guess.

This could be nothing but.....it aint there with ss thats for sure.
Ever seen a radio tuner that used a square wave as the oscillator?...or the mixer ..or the if stages.

I suggest that pulsing coils with spikes may go hand in hand with bicycle wheels amd magnets.

Mannix,

We don't see any tubes in SM's video's.  Just coils and capacitors - not even anything that looks like a semiconductor.  Coils and caps - like an LC or LCR circuit of some sort.
