I believe he came here to help, otherwise why would he waste his time posting here?  Who's side is he on? After all the information he has freely given out..What good is giving people the answer, when they don't even understand the question?  I believe he is willing to show the way, let him, and give him all the space he needs..

Jim,
I will now direct my question to you since you make good drawings and seem to understand the part of the bucket brigade that eludes me.

I look up oscillators and caps and inductors and never get to HOW they are connected so that the output of one goes nicely into the input of another.

I understand the concept, and I have been trying to make it happen, but when a youtuber has one it is blurry and when it is visually clear it is not what I want. I gave up looking for this over a year ago, but John's comments have restarted my search.

Could you please make me a drawing?
I made your diamond bridge easily and I think this type of drawing and input from you is what I need.

I do not  have a  drawing   but I will try to explain it  the best I can..

In general  I see 2 basic ways to do it.

Lets  say wer are using Gadgetmalls   Ucpa charger.
The simple easy way is  to  take  the  ultra cap  from the first unit  and  use it as a battery for the  second unit.
Doing it like this  all you have to worry about is not taking to much or  to little from the  U cap.

But those  U caps are not  cheap.

It  can  be done  with  only  one  Ucap at the end.................but  at each  junction  between  circuits   you  need a cap.....if that cap is to small it  will act as a current limiting cap........if it  is  to large   you  will loose some of your voltage.
You also  have to keep  all the  circuits synchronized  so that when  a pulse  arrives at  the end of  one  circuit  the next circuit  will  be  ready to receive it.


I think for  most of us here the  first way  is the way to go.......it costs more..........but it is easier and more flexable.

One  thing I really like about it  ......is  you can add any power source you have.     Anything  you  can  charge the U cap with  can be  used as part of your power supply........

I do not  believe that anyone  but  John can say why he is here.

I will give him some space.   

I will let him answer as he sees fit without  further  comment on it.


I just had to state my position  on a few things.

I do  think it is a good thing that he is here...........even if he insists on  answering questions with riddles ........ Someone will gain something.
I have grown very tired  of that kind of thing on the JT threads.........
If he wants  to answer like IST Sr ....I will just skip over most of his posts

Thanks Gary, but that is not the question.

John suggested that we can make a bucket brigade from cap to cap getting bigger until we have a lot of power.
I think he is right and I have in fact tried to make a brigade before, but I could not get the thing to move.
Now, I understand that the cap and inductor dance together and this is what we need.

But, what I have yet to do is get the output from one capacitor to go into another.

[well, this is not true, I made an astable multivibrator with caps and resistors--- no inductors. It is a similar but different scene, because it uses 2 transistors . I think it is I am close, but not there yet.]

It is the connections from one oscillator to the next bigger one that I am asking about.

Do you know how I should do that?

thanks,

jeanna

I thougt that  what I wrote covered that ........I was using   gadgemalls cap charger as an example.......but the same thing applies to astring   of  oscillators .

You said something about  yopu can't  get the charge  from one cap  to go into the next cap........ are you talking  about having an input  and an output cap  side by side?........... If so...... you will lose half  your charge........   You need one  cap between stages..........the right sized  cap
