What does a "kick" look like on an oscilloscope?

[poynt99]

Is everyone sure that is a kick and not just a compressed pulse or measuring anomaly?

Attached is a compressed pulse - for example.

Credit goes to BEP for the "soliton" insight.

All efforts are being made to determine that this "pulse" is not some measurement artifact, and so far all indicators are that it is real and that it is a Soliton Pulse. Whether this pulse is ou or abnormal in any way is still to be determined.

I would assume that the late-comers are also making these efforts, and not jumping to unfounded conclusions.

Nice 1 Compfield Love the name LOL

I notice your timing is slightly out hence your little second pulse after it.I guess your controller adjustments are quiet coarse. i have the ability for 250pS adjustments.

nice observations peter

you are correct about the timing issue,
coarse indeed (1-5 ns stepping),
needed better resolution,
which is coming

Isn't a soliton pulse a closed current, same as a travelling wave?

The JLN example - http://jnaudin.free.fr/spgen/index.htm - is using a primary and secondary. The firing pulse and Solitons are not in the same coil. The JLN layout is difficult to derive any usable power and allows the easier method of firing with a single pulse.

That one uses a coil that forces extra nodes/anti-nodes by the winding method.

The one posted by .99 uses a solenoid wound coil. No trickery in the wind. However, you can get the same results on this type of coil by jamming one pulse after another. The main difference is no secondary is required and it can be a closed circuit.

My goal on such an arrangement would be to have two or more such coils compressing the space between them and driving all coils with timing that would continue the same sequence. This should cause the lowest point of the waves to continue away from zero. In other words - DC.

Like .99 has said - this still can be a wiring or device anomaly - at this point I doubt it.

Yes, this thing is an oxymoron. It is a traveling standing wave with no reflected wave. Very little, if any flyback should be visible. The reflection of circular polarization is reverse rotation. The wave and the reflection should pass right through one another, if you can find something that will reflect it.

OU or not these waves are interesting to work with.

is it the end or the means to an end?
