@Void: the guy in the video lighting the incandescent bulb is holding the outer terminal (the screw part) with his fingers. This provides a capacitively-coupled ground return path through (or rather over) his body. The reason your bulb isn't lighting is because you don't have this return path.

Not quite the same thing, here I don't have both sides capacitively coupled, but the principle is the same:

I used to do a demonstration using my big SGTC where I would take the secondary discharge into a wrench held in one hand, and with the other hand I'd take a 25 watt incandescent bulb, held by the screw part, and touch the center terminal to an innocent bystander. The bulb would light up fully, yet neither I nor the other person would feel a shock.

   Void, and All:
   What I'm after is the "effect". First, then later to improve on this "effect", and further to produce the self runner.
   That is what I've been working on for a long while now.

   There is a reason why you can't light even a small 5 watt bulb.  Your voltage is high, yes, but at the expense of the current. mAs will not light an incandescent bulb. Also your frequency is probably not right, for incandescent bulbs. So, working at those power levels, won't produce the results that you're after.

   I had previously posted a video showing someone's Kacher circuit lighting an incandescent bulb. It had a TL 494 circuit controlling the frequency. Even though Itsu mentioned that the Kacher frequency is not adjustable by anything other than adding or removing secondary wire turns on the Tesla coil. Looks like it can be done, although I did not see the Kacher frequency being tuned on that previously posted video.
  Don't we need the Kacher to have adjustable frequency at the output, also? As just fluffy voltage at the wrong frequency, and low wattage just won't cut it, for proper heterodyning.
  Like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8QAL1KNad4&list=PLOeVeYsJt073WcUhcwRYKWA3usD8jMP9G

Hi TinselKoala.  Duh! You are right of course. I should have figured that out.
Instead, like a dumb ass I was trying to light the incandescent bulb by connecting
only one lead on it.  I will give this a try tomorrow and see if I can get the incandescent light
bulb to light.

The interesting about that video where that guy is lighting the incandescent light bulb against
the shovel blade, is that the light bulb seems to be lighting very brightly, but he seems to be only
drawing a very small amount of power from the power supply. Maybe one of the Russian speakers here
can confirm what the voltage and current was on the power supply, and what the wattage rating was
on the light bulb he was using.

You seem to have been driving that tesla coil with a lot of power. I would be worried about getting a shock
at that power level, but I guess as long as you hold on to the metal wire tightly before touching the bulb
to the high voltage output of the tesla coil you will be OK if the frequency is high enough.


@Nick, I will experiment with this some more tomorrow. I will let you guys know if I can get the
incandescent light bulbs to light at all at that low input power level to the kacher driver...

  Void:
   Maybe, try to connect the other side of your bulb to earth ground, instead.
   Remember, that the idea is not to light bulbs with the Kacher, but to produce the right voltage, current, and frequency to provide for an adequate sync.

Thinking about my experiment described above a little further, it may be that to get
some sort of OU effect out of a tesla coil you need to be driving it with some sort of
very short duration pulses, possibly in a pulse train grouping, rather than trying to run a
tesla coil as a resonant transformer, like a kacher driver (a type of blocking oscillator) does.

@Magpwr, do you have a circuit that creates shorter duration pulses in a pulse train out of a
longer duration pulse, for use in driving a tesla coil? Is that what you mean by your 'Sergey transponder
circuit', which I think you have mentioned here previously?

Hi Void !
What I see in that video, is 2 tesla like coils, one horizontal on table with primary around it, other hanging vertical from first as a secondary extension, plus a lot of messy circuitry on the table near the PS.  Hard to conclude something useful from such damn blury video, much less to replicate.
One thing I'm sure from that video - you need a russian shovel made from whatever exotic mater for effect to take place
