Ed Gray's Magic Tube

[Belfior]

Have you read Lindemann's book on free energy and cold electricity?

http://www.teslasociety.ch/info/NTV_2011/free.pdf

I think he explains Tesla's disruptive discharge quite well and says that Gray's invention is just mirroring that. When the 50-100us impulse is fed through the spark gap a longitudinal wave propagates perpendicular to the current. This means it will hit the grid surfaces. Tesla said this would change the "voltage only" pulse to manifest as charge on metal surfaces.

I'm just wondering how big the voltage must the for this supercharging effect to manifest? Is the gap enough to keep the impulse unidirectional pulse train? Add high voltage diode maybe?

It is truly amazing that Peter has all this info about free energy machine's,and yet,has not been able to build a single device.

Yeah I do give him credit for a long career in the field of free energy, but he is just showcasing plasma injection systems in every youtube video. If Gray's machine is so simple, then where the fuck is the replica?

He has not even put out a simple schematic on how to produce these Tesla's unidirectional impulses. If they are so simple to produce we should have DIY kits all over the place

It's sad how the internet is full of crap yet the most important topics are hidden under the mystic statements like unidirectional pulse :-(

Actually it's not that hard to understand, or mystical. The "secret" is to arrange your L, C and R values such that all the power in the impulse is dropped into the load (the "R") in exactly the first one-half-cycle of the impulse (critical damping). This is to distinguish it from the underdamped High-Q case where a long ringdown of many cycles occurs, in which a little power is dropped into the load on each cycle until it is all dissipated over a long time. And also to distinguish it from the overdamped case in which a lot of power is dissipated and wasted in less than a half-cycle and the voltage never rises to a decent peak.
The critically damped case is considered unidirectional (DC) because all the action happens in the first half-cycle and no voltage or current reversal happens.
The disruptive discharge of Tesla's patents is so intense that much care must be taken in constructing the transformer to prevent internal breakdown. Somewhere on my shelf I have detailed instructions for building such a disruptive discharge transformer. It's a lot of trouble, much harder than making an ordinary Tesla coil (which is a high-Q, underdamped, quarter wave air-core resonator operating in HV AC RF mode). While the underlying principles are the same, the actual implementation of the disruptive discharge device in hardware is quite different.
