why is this in the tpu thread?

Tesla or Special-Coil Magnet Setups or Half-baked ideas, not related to SM's work, how many spark gaps in a TPU, the TPU lit multiple 100w lightbulbs not LEDs... how is lighting leds on the cheap going to get people off grid?

If we are going to resort to solar panels we all might as well throw out the circuit move to Spain and connect the solar panel directly to the led  (or a wind turbine in less sunny climates) And we can store the excess energy in batteries for when there is no wind or light...

Originally it's in the TPU section because Zon wound the circuit on a toroid.  It's fine with me if Stefan wants to move the thread. 

But in broader terms, I think its clear this is all connected...  It's not just lighting LEDs, it's about doing experiments to understand nature.  For instance, Dr. Stiffler started with lighting LEDs and now he is doing one wire transmission of power to off-the-shelf motors. One must advance forward in iterations.

The spark gap was always across the NE2 bulb and as soon as it starts sparking, the light production doubles or tripels depending on the length of the spark.
I was always wondering if this was the radiant energy component i was looking at.

Hi Marco,

When you say across the NE2, which circuit are you referring to?

Thanks.

Amigo,
looks good your sparkgap.
Can you still adjust the distance of the 2 rods ?
Looks still a bit far away for lower voltages...

Anyway, just wind an additional coil with more turns onto the torroid
and use this to pulse the High Voltage pulse during
BackEMF back via the sparkgap into the battery.

So the additional coil is in series with the sparkgap.

So when the high voltage is about + 500 Volts from
this coil, the spark jumps and connects the +500 Volts to
the + 9 Volts side of the battery and the other end of the coil
is directly connected to the minus side of the 9 Volts battery.
This way you pulse in this example + 500 Volts pulses
onto the + 9 Volts side of the battery and charge it up.

Hope this helps.

Hi Stefan,

I think I'm getting the picture, though don't you need to rectify the output of the coil with at least a diode on one end of the coil (before the spark gap perhaps)?

Regarding my micro spark-gap, I can't bring the electrodes any closer, they are glued to the plexiglass, and I don't have a microscope to see if they would be touching...

Thanks.
