Didn't NS once say "you have to prime the pump" ?

To me that suggests you may need a pulsed charge to get the earth to 'bounce back'.

Cap:

Yes, he did say that somewhere.  Good point.  Kapanadze also primes the pump with a car battery when using his device.

I think he made them charge cap banks to some level then used it in a resonant spark gap circuit ... ala Dynatron Or tesla .

But i am seeing something like this for now.

I don't remember hearing NS say that.

I ordered a ...well 10 ... pieces of the core thursday. When It comes I will make one or 2 of these.
I think I bought enough cotton covered copper to make 3, but 2 for sure.

I have a recently broken cd player.
Is the motor in that a candidate for the speedy bearing I need to run the reed switch?

Does anybody know?
I have been trying to make a copy of the reed switch motor I bought but it is floppy and slow and doesn't work yet.

thanks,

I noticed on part 4 that lasersaber connects the inner of one wire to the outer of the other, which is the joule thief connection.
I am so glad to see this working!

Could have also been Ed Leedskalnin who said it jeanna...but the principle may also aply here.
