jim,
The second video is the same as the first!

thats a nice idea using the transformer as a set of probes nice and compact and

could be a way of using that transformer as an earth receiver as well ;  )

keep  on tinkering

Jim:

I think I have an idea why no volts and just freq.  Your MOT is in the ground but it is not grounded itself.  To complete the circuit, I think maybe one lead from the MOT needs to be attached to a rod in the ground.

Just a thought.  I hope you are well my friend.

  @ All

I want to charge my 1-F Cap from an EER (EB), do I just connect cap + to EB + and cap - to EB -
or do I use a diode etc.??
please could someone explain the best way to do this, thanks.

I posted the 1st video, then did the second without checking the 1st one, then remembered, went back and checked the 1st.
Found the jpg numbers were wrong, changed it, saw it was OK.
Went away for an hour or 2, came back and saw it was back as it orig was. hmmm.

Anyway, I have re-done it again, it took much longer to replace than before though.
Thanks jeanna for letting me know.

@All,
I just blew a diode on the MOT, ha ha.

I just shuved a 12v DC pulce through the primary of the MOT, the display on the scope changed, so I disconnected the scope, placed the secondary output wires 1mm apart and did it again.
Got a jucy blue spark to jump the gap, no wonder the diode fried.

Tought me a lesson, I betta wear rubber gloves mucking around this thing, this MOTs got energy when it fires up.
