Kapanadze Cousin - DALLY FREE ENERGY

... and should not be limited to just drawing the 5 amps, no matter what load is placed on it.

Drawing constant input power power for various output powers is nothing unusual.
The basic regulated power supply depicted below exhibits this feature ...because whatever output power is not drawn by the load, is dissipated in the Zener diode instead.

  It's unfortunate that neither Ruslan nor Akula nor anyone else have shown their results concerning your favorite topic, input to output readings. This would possible help to show what I suspect, that there is no OU there either,  without enabling a feed back path, that allows for the system to self run.  IF that is true. 
  You can be sure that I will look further into this, although that is not my primary concern for now, as self running is.
  However, my interest also include finding and proving the existence of this elusive "extra energy" coming into the system, which I'm hoping that Verpies, yourself, or other experts in the field, will be involved with testing and proving its validity.
  As you may know I was an electronics assembler, mainly, not an electronics engineer, but what I've come up with is partly my own design, and it does work to the degree that I've shown in my last video. A work still in progress.

   Geo like some others has recommended that I use a TL 494 circuit, well, I certainly would, if one like his PCB circuits could be made for me as well. IF that were possible, I would be into buying it ready made and ready to go, along with a controllable Kacher circuit.  But, first we need to see any circuit self running, at least to the same or similar degree as the Akula or Ruslan builds have done.

  Hoppy, I also consider you my friend, no matter what discussion we may have on the forum. As I've known you for a while now, and have no dislike for any one here.

   Verpies:
   Don't you mean that the zener diode restrict the output, instead, and limits the draw to its working value, not by dissipating it? 
If it dissipates it, where does it go then, or is it just wasted somehow? Or not used, or not drawn from the PS?

   What I think is that the feed back circuit path or loop, also needs to be connected up, and the system re-tuned for best output with it running, also. Other wise the frequency can change, as it does when just passing ones hand over the antenna coil.

  It's interesting to note, that Geo's lights don't change now, when he shows the Kacher's output streaming to a metal object, as it did previously. Nor does it kill the output at the bulbs as it used to do. Why is that so, now?  His running frequency also stays very close to the same, without much change when he does this demonstration.  I do watch this happening on a sound spectrum analyzer.  But, would like to see some scope readings, also.   "It will come"?

   Hoppy, I did not say that there was something unusual or unconventional to these circuits, as we have them, now.
However, when a system self runs, that is unconventional.

Nick, The zener consumes power to maintain the regulated voltage out.  This is why they are rated in watts.. Extra power is converted and waist-ed as heat dissipated by the zener and the resistor in series with it. This is basic 101 electronics. w=v*i . So as the load changes the efficiency of the circuit changes as well. This is a perfect example of low efficiency operation vs the high efficiency we seek in the DC to DC converter. The ruslan device is a simple dc to dc converter looped back on itself. Since the the goal is to pulse width control the yoke driver, I am making an Arduino driven pulse width and frequency control to drive the yoke at its best efficiency so i will have complete control rather than depending on a pulse from a tesla coil to shut off fet and not being stuck with 50% duty cycle. I will then be able to control both fets in the yoke drive not just one as the ruslan device does. Just a variation that should show more brightness in bulbs with same input my goal is to work my way up in efficiency even if its 1% at a time.  At this point i see no use for the tesla circuit but will will trigger it also with the arduino in order to have complete control of timing and such. But will keep the nano pulse circuit since the arduino is not capable of nano second control. If i get stumped all i have to do is hide a battery in my garden before my demonstration anyhow. or maybe roll a drone battery inside some duct tape under a raised board to keep it in the shadows.

Does anyone know why the diode in the schematic shown below seems to be reversed the one near the drain of k2611 tesla driver.

No, in that power supply schematic, I had just posted, the transformer and rectifier, source much more than 5V but the Zener diode shorts anything above 5V to ground and wastes it as heat.  The Zener diode heats up the most when light load or no load is connected.  If a heavier load is connected then more energy gets dissipated in the load and less in the Zener diode.

Most likely you were thinking about another regulated power supply configuration, that uses a series pass transistor (often driven by a Zener diode, too) - in such supply, that transistor acts to limit the draw.  The venerable LM7805 linear regulator is based on this principle.
But that circuit is different, acts differently and is not what I had meant.
