Testing gap materials..
Why the copper straps? Looks like they make a "box".
Lay a 4ft flourescent bulb in there if you have one.
Notice the copper tubing - large surface area - uninsulated.
Lots of bad stuff coming out of the gap - don't look at it - I lay safetly sunglasses over mine when it is that bright.
Any difference which side of center the gap is placed?
No diodes? AC?
==========================================
EDIT: I wonder what Tesla meant by the term "conversion"...

Tesla has a "condenser"(capacitor) in his drawings. But without at least one diode on a rail, he wouldn't get DC. "D" are spark gaps. "G" is probably the load. They're in the correct place to be the load in the drawings.
Is he *converting* AC somehow with the capacitor? The patent should be read for more details.
Re-edit:
Here's the patent...
http://www.google.com/patents?id=66VeAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4#v=onepage&q=&f=false
Between Lines 89-95 of the second column, Tesla is converting the electrical impulses from a high tension and small volume, to a low tension and large volume.
I would only assume he was trying to use the invention as a coil-less transformer?

The copper straps slide up and down to tune the load.
What looks like a mirror is actually a gold coated welding shield insert.
There is quite a large electromagnet that sits over the gap and holds the viewer insert.. not shown..
Here is the full bridge diode I use when i need it 7.5k @ 1a but seems to work fine with the 15k NTS
With the carbon rods and the gap way off center, the spark is different...
Oops. Wrong circuit.
What Darkspeed shows is more similar to this "Magician circuit" to produce damped pulses:

Counsel
Did you find that that was the best condition for transmitting energy without the use of wire?
Tesla
No, I did not use that method when I was transmitting energy. I used it only in the production of those freaks for which I have been called a magician. If I had used merely undamped waves, I would have been an ordinary electrician like everybody else.

Your FIG 2 is the Erick D setup...
Everyone missed the fact the gap is in plane with the device.. and not strung off somewhere in front with wires...

What is that coil in the background, connected to bulbs (LEDs?)?
I have a bridge of 8 (2 in series per leg) NTE517's mounted to UHMW plate - working at 24 ma, 10kv from an ignition transformer.
With th gap off-center - how is the spark different?
Have you tried balanced gaps?
Check for nodes/antinodes perpedicular to the working circuit with a fluorescent tube.

Are you referring to the Dollard video? Yes, missed this detail. The cover of his book on the Tesla Transformer has them next to the primary of his magnifier, but the coils are rotated horizontally, so that gap is perpendicular to the coils.

Yes , two IB22's and a 1nf Faradon
I think I may be getting some degree of rectification through the difference in resistance.. needs testing..
Just watched the vid and spark gap tubes are angled and below the coils.

use a pencil lead (graphite) on one side and you have a point-plane gap - not quite a diode, but assymetrical.
Tesla mentions that the "magician" circuit was demonstrated in a lecture in April 1895. I found a copy of it here:

I showed stuff like this a couple of years ago. You would have seen it if you were not sucking the hind tit! HHO wanna-B
You know you are not in Kansas anymore when stuff start moving across the bench...or blows up.

I did try balanced gaps to start with but I did not have enough gap so I inserted a very short rod in one side to get more space.
With the balanced gaps the sparks were thin, blue, and if wider produced a rising yellow arc.
With unbalanced through carbon, sparks are much thicker , whiter, and you can feel it if you walk by it.
What about one doorknob instead of balanced? Just jumper it to see.

The rectifier made the arc a lot harder to start and I had to move the gap a lot closer.
With the rectifier you MUST discharge the transformer side of the circuit by shorting across the capacitors before adjusting the gap. It will retain a big charge, especially if the gap is too wide and you never draw an arc.
Still no electrostatic production.

Mankie,
If I was as pathetic as you, I'd hang myself and then shoot myself in the head before I choked to death. If you were the hot shit that you think you are, then you would know that HHO is "impractical" no matter how you do it.

The two doorknob caps are what is holding the charge. If they are on the transformer side of the gap, then they will discharge through the transformer when it is off. This configuration has bitten many people.
When the gap won't fire, you can hold a conductive object near it and sometime the change in the field will make it fire. If you connect a middle electrode to a small cap and then to a battery, you will get a single shot when you connect the battery. You have to discharge the cap to fire it again. A signal generator or other trigger source dumps the cap for you.
You can try making an iron yoke and magnets to blow the arc out, but I found that a coax cap is just as good and blows out the arc when it reflects and you can adust the length of the coax to adjust the on-time. Free-running gap is a real pain in the arse as you have to adjust capacitance and/or inductnace and/or resistance to get the right pulse rate.
How would go about proving that you are creating longitudinal waves?
Nipher used photographic plates - not exactly readily available.

Its in the works.. longitudinal detector.. need more time..
Three shells of almost no impedance and one of impedance.
Each shell can be connected to a channel of a four channel scope.
Ya I know what it looks like ;D
Are you going to pulse the outer coil and watch the inner rings or set the entire detector inside your copper pipe loop?

I have a RCA Senior VoltOhmyst - tube , and a pair of HP 3456A's - non tube
It actually could be used either way but it was built with the intention of putting the gap inside.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalar_field_theory_(pseudoscience)#Scalar_antennas_and_detectors
Theory of scalar field detection by normal RF antennas
Even though a scalar wave train does not contain the regular EM components that are used by radio frequency communications, it can still be detected by a normal RF antenna, if that antenna is in the presence of some other static magnetic field. When the scalar wave train passes through, the theory states that the wave train will create a disturbance in the field surrounding that magnet and make the field lines move, which will impart a small electrical current in the standard RF antenna, as if the magnet itself were moved.
Since all normal RF antennas are immersed in the magnetic field of the planet, they can serve as crude scalar detectors, though the reception will be extremely weak and washed out by any normal RF in the vicinity. Detection ability is greatly increased by enclosing the antenna and circuitry in a faraday cage so as to shield it from ambient RF energy, and by placing a very strong magnet near the antenna inside the cage.

Thanks for the info...
Im starting simple and just looking for penetration, I will scale it up from there if I get any results.
OK, but don't let it take several years like it is for the rest of us. There is an uncanny sense of urgency that now accompanies this work.
How are going to vary the rep rate of the pulses?

The plan at the moment is to start with MIL SPEC G811 Triodes driven by a Power Design 0-10k supply and a Wavetek 5ns pulse generator.
The photo is G811 on left and RCA 8020 Diode on right.
Ya I kind of feel that too.. iv taken a month off to get my hands dirty..

It is interesting that it is two complete triodes in one tube.. hmm....
A little more work
Wow Darkspeed , even I am impressed by your pace .
You are a fast builder , I am used to being fed with slow BS and fast theories .
Almost done...
The two electrodes are slip fit so you can position the spark gap anywhere in the cylinder for different tests..
is that tungsten rod?
Quote from: Grumpy on October 08, 2009, 08:24:28 AM

Yes at the moment they are .125 Tungsten TIG rod. I have some silver rod the same diameter but i did not want to burn it up until I get closer to some results.
This whole rig can slip inside my Litz tank for better detection.
I have a cylinder jacket of RadMax that can slip over the tube for testing under a vacuum.
DONE!
Demo run...
And the money shot ;D
Getting a pulsing 2-12vac between the outer glass and a large metal object sitting on the table running off a 9volt battery..
120v neon bulb flash...
120v neon bulb movie... << listen to the bulb, its much louder in person..
Lookin' good...
Now crank it up.
Don't think that an "unusual oscillation" that looks like noise is "nothing" - this may be something that just needs a little push to become an "unusual current".
@all OScope question???
Bandwidth: 100MHz - 349MHz
Does this mean that the scope can only read that? Or does it read Hz Khz...up to 349Mhz?

Thanks, I wanted to see a result with the 9volt before I push it.
On an interesting note.. there are a few volts difference between each shell when measured with the meter... including the outer coil shell.. so it seeing a coil the same as a plate. There is also no measurable difference in voltage between legs of each shell. Seems the expanding field is static..

If static, then modulate it.
You can modulate another field in the same space such as with a large solenoid around the whole thing or capacitive plates or modulate the fields causing this static field by varying the current or voltage or timing. How 'bout them triodes?
Wrong timing with strong modulated fields or containment failure and BAM!
Also, if you do modulate it, effects may vary with frequency and tuning may be sharp for particular results.
Hole a conductive object near a conductive point of the circuit on one side of the gap and then the other and look for a thin whisp of a spark to the object in your hand a tingling or prickly or painful sensation. Get a pic of this if you see it.

Dam Grumpy your in my head again...
If you connect the shell to ground it dumps like a cap
If you leave it grounded it wont build up a charge.
If you get really close to ground it pops really fast and you almost cant see the spark..
The closer you get the higher the voltage between ground - and shell.
By the way the brass rods that are on the outside of the glass will shock the crap out of you - like a cap.
Tried modulating it with a 120v neon and it just shorts it out, next step is a triode > 1:1 transformer > full bridge > battery?
The cylinder is dumping ozone..
This is getting interesting...
This may not look TPU related.. but it is..
Time to move up to the 12v and bigger caps

Sorry bout the mind stuff - I tend to do that
Connect each leg of an incandescent bulb to a diode (two diodes total), opposite polarity and then connect the diodes together, like a Y - connect the joined diode ends to the shell - no ground - see if the bulb lights. Can also try a resistor or neon or whatever you have a for a load. Let it build up a little before you connect the bulb. Might try a 12v car bulb or flashlight bulb first. Better dielectric may stop it from dumping (did for me), but if the dielectric fails (saturates) - big BanG! Sheet of UHMW PE? PTFE would be sweet.
Shell is collecting the source free thingies, but is not a current - yet.
Very intuitive build - KUDOs!
What are you detecting? Should see the oscillation now.

I will try the incandescent bulb.
I know it will fire a 120v neon nicely
I put a 63vdc cap between a shell and ground, no diodes, and it does charge the cap.
I have it cycling slowly but every time it fires the meter shows the cap charging.
Only works when shell is cap+

Human nature is hilarious.
You charge caps straight out of the gate, the "pièce de résistance", and everyone else is google-eyed over at Otto's Geheimnis Stube (Mystery Lounge)...classic...
If you use negative pulses, the shell should become negative and this is far more important than it sounds.
Try the diode thing too. Worked for the Russian that invented it.
I just ran to the bench and threw a bunch of stuff together - not optimal - pretty ugly. I can put some charge on a non-electrolytic doorknob cap (about 140pf) on the shell (my shell is fine mesh - using my Ed Grey left-overs) with the other lead of the cap to ground. Enough to get a small spark.
Electrostatic action to a moth's wing is very nice - same as styrofoam - at the shell.
So, if the cap has to be grounded, is this just capacitive coupling?
nice work darkspeed, I'm impressed. Looks like you have resources including time on your hands, and your puting it to good use.

Well if the shell thinks its a cap, and the cap thinks its a cap, then maybe the wire between thinks it is a hairpin?
questions:
what is the resonant frequency of the one turn copper pipe loop, in series with the two ceramic coated HV capacitors?
I'm assuming you guys know how the tesla disruptive technique works, if not here's the basics, which may give you insight.
Tesla found he can create very high frequency oscillations, more than can be achived with rotary/mechanical means, this is the bottm line.
How?
By using sudden breakdown and discharge of current through an air gap or dielectric, which is part of a resonating tank circuit.
Your high voltage source is 60 Hz, and as a cycle begins that increases the voltage in the capacitors, it reaches a point at which the air gap breaks down and it's resistance is then very low, now the stored energy in the capacitors begins to discharge and oscillate with the inductance of the loop untill all the energy is depleated via the air gap or other coupled circuits to this main one. (like in a tesla coil secondary)
So, darkspeed, Looking at you circuit I don't see what you do with the energy besides letting it burn in the air gap. You do know you have high frequency oscillations in the loop and capacitors, right? Also, if you use only one capacitor (and that's all that's needed) you will have more capacitance, hence a lower frequency of oscillation (since capacitors in serious have half the capacitance).
In the Tesla patent 462418, his inductance is that of the generator windings (labeld as G) and they resonate with the capacitance F. Since motor windings have a large inductance, this particular circuit arrangment is one of low frequency, but other patents make use of the disruptive discharge for higher frequency (tesla coil)
Anyway, some of my ideas if they help at all. I am puzzled by your "detector" with the nested coils, what's the idea there? I admit I haven't looked at this stuff in a while.

It will, the shell cap will also be exquisetly punchy and produce a real high Q LC with low damping, I'll bet it rings quite long. Hairpin freqs are always limited by crap caps not enabling short hairpins to swing with vigor. but your shell capacitance will be very fast!
p.s. I'm awed with your build, seriously great research, this is a thread I will continue reading!

Well I tried to sneak this in under the Tesla Technology so as not to confuse everyone...lol..
Doing work and pulsing dc on the shell.. getting better and the big caps just showed up..
When say that the capacitor is connected to "ground", do you mean "earth ground" or circuit negative side?
If earth ground, then this is interesting.
In the ball bearing movie, is the other side of the spool of wire connected to earth ground?
That's "Avramenko's plug" (the diodes), so are you bouncing the bearing with a single connection to the second collector?
