we need big BUUUM !!!! that means we need higher voltage and low resistance to get kick , right ? and Tesla knew what to look for because of BUUUUM !!!
you cannot do that with low voltage, why ? there is no inertia, because pressure is low, volume is big but not pressure, got it ?

so you should be closer to the kick now I think

Just a thought.
Lets say that we want. to charge rapidly a micro wave oven capacitor and fire it through a spark gap. To do it fast we usually use a power supply of not more than 2kv and with much current so to recharge it quickly after each discharge.

What if we shot this same cap with i.e 40kv impulses, or even better with 80kv with minimum current consumption, and set the spark gap for 2kv discharging. Theoretically by creating  a higher pressure than normal, it will fill the capacitor  as fast as with the conventional way, and the same time the current consumption will be very low. And in addition no need for making very high voltage caps to handle all this hv. And I am referring to Tesla coils and capacitor filling from earth.

What is your opinion?

This is what you should do with the secondary side of the high frequency transformer, charging multiple caps.

You sound like Tito

Good day


Now i can see that this thread is now in right direction. 


happy experimenting.


BALANCE IS ALWAYS BE YOUR POINT OF CORRECTION


God bless and goodbye
Take care everyone

Say the cap is charged to 10v, for example. The zener is inline with the discharge switch in reverse bias to the discharge current. Close the switch and the cap will discharge through the zener because the voltage across it is above 3v and when the voltage gets down to 3v its cut off. Or like I said in my last post, it is possible that the reverse bias across the diode(3v) might dissipate before the cap gets down to 3v. Just thoughts so far.

Been thinking about the zener diode. Tito said 'at least 3v"

1 of 2 things it could possibly be used for.

1  Which Ive always thought might be the case was that the 3v was used as a trigger, to discharge when a cycle was at that point. But considering the simplicity of the circuit he had shown at the time, Im not really sure.

2   Could it be used to stop the discharge of a cap when it gets down to 3v? Maybe in the flow of things the zener cuts off due to insufficient reverse bias, but the cap is not down to 3v yet.  Could this be a way to disrupt the discharge, blow out the spark?  The  discharge could be through the zener in order to stop the dc current mid flow, or at least before the cap reaches zero volts.

Still contemplating what wire and no. of turns for this lil bugger.
