Hi AbbaRue

Forgot to mention that I re-wound the microwave transformer because it was faulty when I acquired it.

It is more like 2:1 step up.

I think people need to be a little cautious before running away to install circuits on their engines.

The reason I say this is that the only circuits I have seen that produce he radiant effect utilise a large electrolytic capacitor.  The problem with this is that large value capacitors are not suitable for higher frequencies because of their charge/discharge times.  The circuit needs to operate well into the range of 50-100 Hz to be useful in an engine. 
(3000 rpm = 50 Hz).

My findings so far indicate that the effect does not work at these frequencies.  I have only so far seen videos where the circuit is switched by a relay at say 1-2 Hz.

The principle needs to be developed a lot more and we need to find a way to replicate it without a large capacitor.  Hence the reason for trying my circuit.

Hi there everyone!  Newbie here.  Fascinating stuff this.  Everyone is so enthusiastic about replicating here...wow!

I'm wondering what the real basic idea is...maybe I've gotten lost in reading so many posts about details of circuits and far-out terms I don't know like "radiant energy" and all that.

Can anyone sort of explain what the basic hope is on this?  Am I correct in thinking that the "promise" of all this "work" is that, eventually, someone will demonstrate that they can extract more thermal energy from water than they use in electrical energy to extract it?  Or is it something else?  I confess I'm classically trained in physics and engineering, so I naturally drift toward wanting to know what the goals and basic operating theories and all that boring stuff are about before I set out to physically experiment.

I appreciate anyone's input on a basic science level to help a befuddled but curious old engineer understand what is so exciting about this particular area of endeavor.  It sure seems like there's a lot of replication being attempted and that's great.  Is there some "measure of success or failure" that one might use to evaluate:

a) whether a given setup is reproducing the desired effect
b) a quantitative, objective standard method by which one might determine energy input vs. energy output?
c) what exactly are the perceived effects and results that appear to be "classical physics" anomalies

Sorry if these kinds of questions come off as "skeptical", but scientific research and advancement depends on this kind of "harsh light of day" analysis and straightforward simple questions.  I want to understand what I'm looking for before I start searching

Hi,
Is anyone having success with a submerged plug? If so what modifications to the circuit were made.
Thanks. I am building a test bed to measure variables.

I had a little success....here is a vid on youtube

It is Cap70's coil design....
