In fact in at least one of Teslas patents Tesla states that if the voltage of the source is not high enough, the properties of a choking coil may be taken advantage of. Wish i could name the patent off the top of my head, guess I better read them more Wink

The circuit including the motor is of relatively high self-induction, and this property is imparted to it by the coils of the motor, or when these are not sufficient, by the addition of suitable choking-coils, so that at each break of the motor-circuit a current of high electromotive force will be developed for charging the condenser, which may therefore be small and inexpensive.

Thanks, but i knew the answer to my own question. At least you were cordial so thanks. I just wanted to see if armagdn03  would see the similarity and difference from his previous vid and discuss it.


Instead i got
"The best advice I can give any person pondering the mysteries of...............whatever, would be,     Understand the physical aspects (physics, kinematics, etc.) of the components and interaction with other components.  A complete understanding of interactions, physical properties, etc, will answer all of your questions, Why ask questions, when the most qualified person to ask is yourself?"

@armagdn03 
There is this thing in life that humans do, they gather here and discuss topics of interest for a common good.  Now if you want to leave those kind of answers .. spare me the time man i'm not stupid, you could use one of these answers.. Hey im busy maybe some other time...  I'm too caught up in what I'm doing right now.....  I don't want to discuss this with you..... any of those things seems to be a bit more to the point than what you left.  Thanks for repeating yourself and IS. I have read the bio many of times and however clever it was a bit insulting .

I like your circuit set-up. Your 300uf cap maybe be the reason the relay is going very slow. Try under 100uf like we are doing here.

@AC

Thanks so much for your post and yes, you just confused the issue. Serious. Don't know were to start rambling on about this. Holly crap. What a post. So relevant.

Also, I'm puzzled, please see on your post the second figure diode seems to be in backwards given the direction of flow. I could be wrong but in wikipedia the diode current is shown going the other way.

@armagdn03

You're right but you are describing the ultimate goal. It's like saying why can't you just think about playing Mozart enough to just sit down and play it. The ideal is great but unfortunately, we're only human. Yes, creations must come from inspiration, but such can only happen when one has integrated all the knowledge, but part of that knowledge can only be attained by practice. Like I said, we're only human. I can't believe Tesla did not practice. And don't forget that Tesla had a mental disorder (or hyper order) that gave him the ability to see his creations as if they were real working devices. This had plagued him and anointed him, all his life.

Geez sometimes these threads move fast. Just saw @am1ll3r post. Well, redundancy never hurt anyone.

Never claimed you were stupid my friend, I am hardly here to play games.

You posed a question, I answered. Take it or leave it.

I have known and know people who could have given me the answer, and Looking back, I would have considered it, looked it up, googled it, etc.......and I would have moved on to the next thing that caught my attention. And would I have gained ground? a bit perhaps, but not only would I have not understood what was given to me, I would have taken for granted the little I learned.

A small nudge in the right direction can be inspiring. I am no better than you nor anybody else, what I realize is the joy of Figuring out something for myself!

If you do not wish to discuss, please do not leave messages requesting my answer.

@ all

Im not talking about "a mental disorder" or anything of the like! I am simply saying, if you dont understand it, think about it! long and hard, look things up, develop your own ideas, look to yourself, nobody will answer your questions better than you can, Im not saying anybody here is right or wrong, im just asking you to think about YOUR world!

I wish you all the best.

@Wattsup

Thanks, The cap has no visible effect on the circuit,It wasn't added till later with the diode in an effort to capture some of that little blue spark  . Thats why i thought it to be a little different.  Gotta keep playing with it tho and get a better brush or contact so i don't have to hold the thing. It sound like it wants to wind up.
