    This is all doable.  The currents circulating in the capacitor inductor network can be millions of times the currents circulating through the battery input circuit.

Thanks A,

This is clearly a cap in a parallel circuit, that being said I have been charging my caps in series.
So I will need to change the configuration around a bit to get it right.
I was under the impression caps only charge when they are in a series configuration. When they are in parallel they go + and - back and forth. is that correct?
I will redesign my brain and see if I can accomplish what you have shown.

Oh! before I get too carried away with this analogy I want to clearly state the protocol of my objective. I do not want disregard anything you or anyone else has to offer, at any time or any place, unless you are a smurf. then I would not care to let you fall off a cliff before I rescued you.

# 1 First of all I would like to learn to pump an enclosed circuit using the plasma globe. I have demonstrated on the utube videos I can build up verifiable amounts of electrical and magnetic matter. 
# 2 I simply want to pulsate this energy through the IT in this closed circuit.  I do not want to harvest this energy by utilizing it to power a bulb, motor, or other device unless it relates to achieving #1
# 3 After achieving #'s 1 and 2, I will search the annuls of time or heaven itself to figure out how to push the water up the hill.
it may be as simple as DS has said.... let the more negative come from the earth to the circuit with use of a veractor on the output side of the IT ground.

Now back to your advice.
As I hopefully understand your drawing correctly; the pm would be positioned at the precise distance to move the weight / needle along its path to its maximum travel and this would be the greatest reading that the shunt/ resistor/ wire would be exciting the pm. thus when the circuit is in operation driving a HF motor , a light , or other device the magnetic effect will be greater or less pulling or pushing on the pm (amperage).
and displaying a calculable difference to the zero position.
If this is absolutely correct I think I've got it.

This tact of mine is probably all incorrect as I think about it.
There is a possibility I am searching for the wrong information.
DS has shown and mentiond umpteen many time he uses an electrostatic voltmeter to determine if these devices are working as designed. Even though I have one, I have not taken any readings lately on my circuit operation. Just thinking out-loud

Thanks Sparks.

I have posted another two video's one showing 800 V cap charges and 1000+V cap charges being charged from the plasma globe.
I have determined one cap is not working like the other three and nearly blew another cap apart, but didn't.

I know I have a very long way to go here but I am satisfied for now.
I just needed to let you know.

I am going to try to learn how to use the parallel configuration to get me back to AC. going through the caps.

I just needed to let you know. untill I can get some much larger caps I cannot try to go any further driving this plasma globe energy into these caps in series.

I am going to try to learn how to use the parallel configuration to get me back to AC. Or said differently, I think this will froce me to go back to A/C

I know Don was manipulating the electricty from AC to DC and bach in some of his devices, again not sure if I need to convert to AC. just yet.
One of his plasma globe pictures suggests yes, and the directions suggest not.

You should remember that you are dealing with an LR circuit driven by an alternating driver source.

There fore, there will be a resonant frequency. You need to run at that frequency.

Question @ Paul,
http://www.whatcircuits.com/lc-resonance-frequency-calculator/
This link has to do with resonance of an LC circuit. This calculator will convert all values relating to directions from DS. Proposed directions are in the handbook of electronic tables and formulas. The nomographs...
As I read up on the LR circuit:
An RL circuit is one that contains only resistors and inductors. The simplest possible RL circuit is the series circuit.
I am wondering if this is an out of place comment or just how did you propose I understand this information?

I am not being flippant I just want to understand how to apply what you have suggested. On the other hand if this was an attempt to see if I was thinking ... it worked and I appreciate it. Theretoo if this was a ploy to see if I would try to take advice and learn more, that worked too.
Below is a list of measurements needed to accomplish my task using the above mentioned book and calculator in the link. This objective has taken quite a while to validate mathematically the Nomographs in this book. As I cannot do the math longhand.
# 1, The 120 Hz for the IT (This calculation gives me the required Hz to pump the IT with magnetic flux.  Requiring one resistor. This may be an LR circuit.
# 2, the resonant freq. of the plasma globe. with the L-2. This is as accurate as I can get at this point. "22,525 Hz", 
# 3, The HF need to pump the L-2 to accomplish the 240 Volts using the Globe, this will take 1.7 MHz .. The previous two I think would include the capacitors, making it an LCR circuit.

Quote from DS. The Farads and Henrys of the resonant system provide the
resonant frequency when pulsed by an external energy system.
  A system shunt in the resonant circuit sets the containment
level for energy potential.

Don states this as a timing formula T = RC   and    T = L/R   
    T = Frequency   in cycles per second
    C = Capacitance in microfarads
    L = Inductance  in millihenries
    R = Resistance  in Ohms
And this:
           Desired Voltage     
      _________________     = Required Frequency in hertz     

Capacitance in Microfarads

Now, above are many gaps in my knowledge base and structural writing. Instead of trying to fix all of that first may I ask you a theoretical question.
Would you determine the closed and open parts of the plasma globe circuit  as you understand it.
yes it sounds like a test question but simply it is strictly for a conceptual understanding for me.
This will tell me what I am not understanding of your post.

For instance the way I see it the plasma globe itself is a closed circuit.
The crown on top, I call my L-2 connected to my capacitor bank and resistor would be another closed circuit. "LCR".
Third, the IT, the spark gap and resistor would be another closed circuit. "LR".

If I have written the answer and don't understand it, so-be-it no reply necessary.

Thanks Paul
