Dniester is known by his FE device: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ehz4MT8ec8
NickZ, this is something which can be of interest to you.
I know you are working on this type of device,
so maybe this can help you a little.
A few of technical info on your device.
Found this videos where Andrian Dniester disassembled his device and explaining
what frequency is his Kacher Brovina (2Mhz) and how number of turns are related
between Kacher and grenade coil.
Dniester device is same as Akula's and Ruslan, I believe.

I don't have translation from Russian and understand only concept as I don't speak Russian.
Dniester possible schematic:

Wesley, maybe you can assist with translation of those videos?
That is a spark gap device, which Adrian never had shown self running. Does it really work???
That schematic was from an earlier device.
He then went on the copy Stalker's version of Ruslan's 12v (TopRuslan 7) unit, self runner. And, later he built the interuptor Kacher 24v self running device. Which is the same as I have, but without the interuptor controllable Kacher, just the more simple version of the Kacher circuit. Which I have not built, as yet.
What about 2 videos where he is talking about components in his self runner?
Can you understand what he is talking about?
My knowledge of Russian is limited.
whatisit: Wesley has done some translation videos of Adrian's devices. Look for them on youtube. Under the name Stivep, I believe. I don't understand most of what is said in Russian.
So where is Adrian? Did he fly off with the ETs. Or...what??? I can't believe that he is not around, somewhere.
I maybe wrong, but as I understood from internet,
he is dead.
You are right, he is not around anymore.
I found some of the Wesley's translations on Adrian,
but not this 2 videos.
Anyway, thanks for help.
In video part 3, Adrian said that thick HV few turns antenna
should not have any kind of insulation.
He said that insulation kills the effect,
and antenna should be naked copper like
in Kapanadze device.
I dont know how much truth is in that claim,
but, that is what he said.
Even though the antenna's wire insulation may not be as good as a bare copper tube. I still can get 1 centimeter streams. Which equal several thousand volts. Ruslan said that the HV does not need to be strong to cause the needed effect.
So, as I see it, that wire insulation won't "kill" the effect.
What about mass of copper antenna?
Kapanadze has massive pipe, while on Adrian device it is thinner.
Could there be relation with the surface of antenna,
or it does not play any role?
No. But if you'd rather use a copper tube, that will be ok also.
What is left, is relation between antenna and grenade receiver.
Frequency of the Tesla and length of grenade, maybe?
Is there any?
There is no use in guessing about what may be needed, or important. Follow the schematic. That is my advice.
Which schematic, is up to you. I have already posted the one that I used. Everything that may come to mind, has already been discussed on this thread.
I am not guessing.
It is what Andrian or Adrian is talking about in his video:
Part 1
https://vk.com/video-109045246_456240064
Adrian or whatever his true name is, is showing his replication of the 12v circuit that Stalker copied from thRuslan's topruslan 7 schematic.. Look for Stivep translation on you tube.
And his replication works as self runner.
He obviously knew what he was doing.
He probably did not just copy ruslan7 and replicating it without knowing its essence.
Copying and replicating wont lead you very far.
Creating your own opinion and brainstorming will.
Essence of antenna and receiver is wavelength.
Why do you think that should be discarded?
Well then, brainstorm away. Looks like you don't value my opinions, so...good luck.

Nick, I value your opinion very much, and your work.
But you did not express your opinion about Akula, Ruslan... device.
All you said to me was:
Dont do anything, just follow any schematic on Ruslan, there is nothing else to talk, everything been already said.
So, where is your opinion??
I wanted to talk to you about subject because you are working on that type of device.
Your device is not yet self runner, and is obviously that something is missing.
I am still here to talk.
I already expressed my opinion concerning Akula, Ruslan, Stalker, and Adrian.
My opinion is that I think that some their versions work, and other don't. Which one is the real deal? I don't know.
Akula replicated his own version of the Kapanadze device. Ruslan copied the second Akula self runner device, and Stalker copied Ruslan's topruslan 7 device and schematic. Adrian copied the Stalker/Ruslan schematic. But, each one has made their own versions of the Akula second self running device. Same as I did. And itsu did, and Geofusion did, etz... and all ours work, but don't self run.
What is missing??? That is what we still need to find out. I may be the only one left with a still running version of this device on my bench. Running, but no cigar. This is not a simple device, at all. So, if you have no real idea of how it should work, better study up on that, first. As mentioned, Wesley has made several videos of Adrian's devices.
Here is one of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXuWHQ0wSRk
Agree,
It looks simple but is not.
I watched your and Itsu videos and Geofusion as well.
All of you did good replicas but something is missing in interaction between Kacher and grenade.
That is the reason why I posted Adrian videos.
He is talking about interaction of coils in his version of device.
And that is the reason why I was curious what is his explanation,
which can be missing link, but can be also mumbo jumbo.
It does not hurt to hear additional info.
I think, I will start to learn Russian, at least numbers and technical terms.
About your advice to study first.
That is exactly what I have been doing.
I did not posted Adraian videos to sabotage anybody,
but in a hope that you can listen his words and comment
does it has any sense in there.
Of course, nobody force you to do it.
It is just your choice.
It was simple thing. Watch video and comment, or dont!
You made whole book out of it, and numerous posts which leads to nowhere.
Conclusion.
You still did not commented that video,
because you did not watched them or
did not understand them, same as I, but we made 2 pages of nothing.
I am sorry that I even posted those videos.
It made me more trouble than expected and lots of empty writing.
You did nothing wrong, actually you did pretty good replica of Ruslan,
and invested lots of time.
I thought wrong. I was thinking that those videos can help you.
So, it is on me.

Please forgive me, I can only guess.... missing is strong magnetic field obtained without consuming large power from input.Of course if you properly replicated the "switch" factor like in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nxKqfkkndw so the Katcher can switch on and off the magnetic field of separated "grenade" coilSo imho the essence is the coil producing strong magnetic field probably pulsating at 50Hz or other low frequency with input power quite low due to resonance.Then somehow HV HF antenna is acting on this like in very old radio coherer receiver and turn on/off this magnetic field, the output coil catch it and form the proper voltage.

Ok, thanks for your comments. And good luck to you.
Sorry to trouble you. No more empty writing.

Forest: We are all only guessing as to what is needed, until we test the idea by building the device. We won't KNOW what is missing until we actually build and test the device. And even then, we still don't know.
What is missing is the proper sync between the two circuits. I would guess... Below is a scope shot of Stalker's two circuits, push/pull and kacher circuits, in sync.
