Thanks Groundloop for your clarifications regarding your circuit.

@all
I was wondering why Kapanaze employs a spark gap.
I think he uses it as a source of current and here is my theory for how and why (I will first attempt to state the basics according to my understanding. Please point out if I am in error):

- The strength of the magnetic field “emanating” from a conductor is dependent from the strength of the current flowing in that conductor (not dependent from the voltage).

- A transformer couples the magnetic fields of two conductors so that alternating signals in one of the conductors induce alternating signals in the other conductor.
The higher the rate of change of the CURRENT/amperage in the primary conductor the stronger is the change of the magnetic field and the stronger is the signal that is induced in the secondary and the more electrical energy is available on that secondary.

- High voltage sources available to us (Tesla coil, joule thief) can usually not produce much current.

But high voltage from such a source can be applied to a spark gap. If the voltage is high enough â€" i.e. if it exceeds a certain strength - or if the spark gap is narrow enough, the dielectric (air) will “break down” and a plasma will form.
Commonly such a plasma is called a spark or a flash.
This principle is applied in arc welders.

Such a breakdown of the dielectric will stop and start, and this alternation (stop/start) will repeat with a certain frequency (= at a certain pulse rate).
The breakdown will always restart, once the high voltage source regained its strength, i.e. its high voltage potential (The voltage source gets depleted during the time span of the dielectric breakdown, because the plasma which forms in the spark gap is superconductive, allowing unhindered flow from the source).

However, during the breakdown a very high current (at very low voltage) flows on the secondary side of the spark gap (i.e. away from the spark gap). Thus the fat cables used to ground the metal when welding, to accommodate that current.
So a spark gap can be seen as a kind of special transformer which transforms high voltage (no/low current) into high current (low/no voltage).

Again: There will be high current spikes in the cable coming from the spark gap. The frequency of these spikes will be the frequency at which the dielectric breakdown occurs.

- If that is true, then we can transform these high current spikes to a normal electrical signal. For this we can use a transformer. In fact a transformer will be ideally suited for that task, because the high current spikes mean strong changes in the magnetic field of the conductor and thus transform very well (see above).

But such an “output transformer” must be suitable for such signals. The primary windings should be of very thick wire or copper pipe (for the low voltage high current signal coming from the spark gap). The secondary can be wound from wire of normal thickness.
On top of these factors we also have to take into account the frequency that was created at the spark gap (= the frequency of the dielectric breakdown).
This frequency will most likely be higher than 50/60 Hz and consequently an iron core will not be suitable for the “output transformer” as iron does not have the capability to change its magnetic alignment quick enough (hysteresis) and will also saturate already at low magnetic field strength.

I wonder if the wattage available at the output of such a system would be bigger than the wattage on the high voltage input side.
My hope to find a higher wattage on the output are based on the superconductive properties of the spark/arc/plasma where “additional” current (at low voltage) will hopefully be created due to the special characteristics of a plasma. This signal just needs to be transformed.

Great post!

Best theory yet!

@oscar,

Great theory. :-)

I must add that most (smaller) Iron core transformers can go as high as 1 - 2 KHz. One easy way to find the resonant point of a transformer is to use the attached circuit. (Only work on transformers with two separate input coils.) With this circuit the transformer will always resonate at is best frequency. You will be surprised to see that this is not 50 or 60 Hz.

Other than that, I very much agree on you theory.

@sterlinga.
the method of stealing power from the grid
was already proven not to work with this method, cause he is using only
1 earth ground connection.

@groundloop,
please use this edited circuit to try light up a bulb.

You must play with the LC circuit at the output to see, how best you
get high currents.
I have drawn the LC circuit as a series resonance circuit, so the highest current
will be flowing at resonance.
Maybe you don´t need to connect the output LC circuit to the sparkgap
LC circuit, you have to find it out via experimentation,
then maybe a parallel LC circuit will be better ?

Please try this and let us know.
Many thanks.
Regards, Stefan.
