Meno:
  In the diagram that you just posted, that device does not use a 220v to 12v, or 24v power supply unit as part of the feed back loop?  What does it use for this loop?

  One thing I should mention, especially to any new guys, is that if your fets don't oscillate when you power on the device, they will overheat, and burn out in no time. So, if that happens, disconnect the power, immediately.  And only turn it on for a second, if no light at the bulbs still, turn off the power, again, A.SA.P. 

 
  Akula and Ruslan have both given instructions on tuning, which Ruslan has also used to build their device(s). Has ANYONE really tuned to those exact specs and ideas? Like tuning the earth ground line?, etz...

  I will continue with this project to the end,  and then some. I don't expect it to be soon, at the rate that we're going, or that I'm going, at least.
Unless someone comes up with a better idea.

While Ruslan is just blowing us away with his improvements and developments.
   Yes, John, in just one year.

Guys, is that Power Supply as much important at the moment?  I would be happy if my first build will work from battery , taking 20W and giving me 2KW

I agree !

Skywalker:  In the matter of that length of katcher  you posted above, I believe you need to tune it to your "Grounded" grenade. And the length of the  grounding cable is like an extension of the grenade which means you must adjust number of turns on your katcher - in other words- I believe it is very individual.

Well, that ground cable business seem to be a very sensitive mater lately, people tend to get excessive care about length, thickness, earth resonant frequency , and so on, of that ground cable while Ruslan seems not take care at all about his ground cable... Hi displayed many working devices , some of them with very short ground cable, other with unusual long ground cable, so where is the catch? 
It occurred someone that ground cable isn't that important at all what length is? Why is that ? Because  kacer and grenade coil share same ground cable, and therefore any influence would have that cable about kacer and grenade will be compensated, or will change in same proportions.  Remain to tune kacer relatively to grenade, and I think that a half length of grenade (18.75m) is a good start for kacer, at least for me.

Yes, it not use power supply. But in latter schematic modification author use step down transformer.
First he starts from 12 volts battery. Then it gose up and up and then it ups to 250-300 volts DC. For electronic, who need 12 volts it trought resistor and voltage stabilaser 12 volts put power to electronic (generators). Author use little other things to step down voltage for electronic, but I think, that resistor is simpler and better.

I try found ground frenquency, but not found. I only wound that longer ground  wire steps down coil frenquency.

Not exactly my friend. On the Skype chat with other guys he gave exact instructions.  1)  Make grenade coil  2) make kacher  3) check if bulb lights  4) connect ground to the last end of the granade coil -6th end 5) retune the catcher to see even more light   -   Done to this stage means the grenade works as it should and you can proceed to the next build steps.    Freely translated   In any case he said you might need to wind more meters of wire to your Kacher.  Ruslan and Akula are using 22 or 25 of meters of ground wire.

Thanks John. i didn't realise it was that simple. Sould be a doddle then.  What about all the testing for best 'earth frequency' as carried out by Akula. Does this not enter into Ruslan's procedure?

I'm set-up in the garden shed now and will be running out an earth wire shortly.
