Shorting coil gives back more power

My thought : schematic is correct but not all elements are detailed shown

Just a  reminder that Patrick Kelly who posted in his extensive Energy book showing the Electrodyne OU Tesla Switch arrangement that he initially had the diodes posted in a way that looked correct (after being told they were backwards) only to find out later that the apparent backwards orientation WAS correct all along.  He has since corrected them so they now look backwards but this is the way it worked (and worked very well).  So if someone has diodes that look backwards I don't automatically assume they are wrong.  It's probably worth trying both ways if possible.

That was my feeling also, but it was said in a previous post that some diodes were incorrect and when corrected it worked.

Thought I would clarify a bit why I got so excited with this EMP stuff.

What was the party trick of Ismael Aviso?
   Shooting stuff up in the air.
How you do shoot stuff up in the air?
   EMP pulse.
How to make one from tiny average input?
   Capacitor discharge OR flux compression generator!

Also if one really wants to negotiate with strong neoydmiums on equal terms
there is need for another strong neodymium OR EMP pulse.

And the fact that I "discovered" with my pulse motor is that when you
drive it with mini-EMPs and very low resistance coils then for
short period of time one can treat ordinary wire as superconductor.
Meaning you get your EMP and also almost all of the energy is left,
because it will not dissipate in resistance like in classical approach.
And you can do with it all you want.

Also I would point out the Time Constant graph...

0.7TC point looks nice cut-off point for drive coil, doesnt it?

Could you please explain somemore details of the setup. Is there a basic arrangement which one can use do understand the effect ? Is the flux compression achieved by shorting a magnetized coil step by step over the coil distance and so forcing the magnetic flux to create a bEMF in a "shorter coil" and lower inductance?

Indeed very intresting. Please keep this up.

Thank you

Any ideea why Richard used so many bridge rectifiers?
