I'm lost. See some stupid schematics modified by many people and flooding this thread. What do you expect ?

Do you have CONFIRMED schematic of the most simple (latest 300W) Ruslan circuit to replicate ?
Maybe I will try to build one. I have a katcher from old experiments and 10 russian paper 1.5kV 0.1uf caps. Is 1uf cap enough to power like 100W bulb  ?

Most important is to know if katcher circuit need attunement in frequency.

Hi T-1000. The current does fall off as the capacitor charges, but the rate that the capacitor voltage increases 
also falls off. So even though the capacitor charging current is less, the voltage on the capacitor is increasing
slower and slower as you get closer to the max voltage, so a given amount of voltage increase takes longer in the
upper charging range. I don't think there is any reason to think the capacitor charges faster if only half discharging
the capacitor and then recharging it. See the capacitor charging voltage and current graphs attached. It would seem
that to get excess power out, something completely different is going on.

P.S. The second attachment is an actual scope voltage charge waveform using grenade to charge a 1uF cap.
It's rate of charge slows down quite a bit in the upper charge range.

All the best...

Hi,

You can try with 2kV+ spikes to charge 2kV rated capacitor from 0V up to 500V charge then from 500V to 1KV then measure charging time for each half. The high voltage spikes are usually what you do get from Tesla coil.
Then you will see something interesting going on there and also reasons why Ruslan used 2kV rated capacitors...

Cheers!

  Hoppy:
  Have you connected your switching power supply, back to the input, yet?

  Forest: If you are looking to replicate, the only verified schematic is the Akula second video version diagram. Shown working, and verified by Tiger, and others.

  But, as practically no one is really making an exact replication, of any of the self runners. What do you expect....

Hi T-1000. That could be, but I think you need some sort of sparkgap to create those voltage spikes.
I don't know for sure, but I don't think Ruslan was using a sparkgap on his tesla coil output in his latest
video. I am still experimenting with this arrangement, so we'll see if anything interesting turns up.

P.S. I attached a scope shot showing what happens when I manually do a sudden discharge across the 1uF output cap.
Slow as molasses in January.

All the best...

I have a 60W, resistance is 21.7 approx...


so you have... 768V @ ( 2A ) ? or even 240V @2A is 480W? 


how many bulbs in parallel?  that just increases the current...
what is your input?  1KW?


capicitors need to be higher than the voltage they collect... because not only do they have the DC bias, they have a voltage wave common to both sides...

'Hot' resistance of my bulb is in the order of 750R at the brightness / temperature level I have. Cold resistance is a lot lower than 'hot' resistance for tungsten filament lamps!

There is no DC bias on my caps.
