Kapanadze Cousin - DALLY FREE ENERGY

  As Ruslan uses different diagrams, and specs on each of the different devices, it's hard to focus on just one of them. Or know just which one would be the best to try to replicate.
  I don't know if this hand drawn diagram by Ruslan, I took an image from was taken from the same source video, or not.
  But, here it is, if it helps.

I think Ruslan may have drawn that, but we would need to know what the coil represents there.
Maybe this is going back to an older version of Ruslan's circuits where Ruslan was not only
driving the 'inductor' winding and the series capacitor from a secondary winding on the yoke core, but he
was also driving the grenade coil directly from another secondary winding on the yoke core as well.
The capacitors shown there then might be for the purpose of bringing that loop into resonance.
I don't know why you would need two separate capacitors in that case however.

Quite a while back I did an analysis of how Ruslan had his full wave bridge rectifier diodes wired in
based on some screen shots showing those rectifier diodes and other parts they were conencted to,
and it did appear that Ruslan did have a capacitor across the input of his bridge rectifer configuration.
The only reason I can think that would be there would be to bring the grenade coil into resonance
at some desired frequency. Still I don't know how well that would actually work in practice if that were the
intention. It seems like an odd thing to do, but it is probably something that is missing from many
replication attempts so far.

All the best...

  I haven't tried either one of them, but I did try out a brand new IRFP260N mosfet, as my Kacher driver,  and burnt it out immediately. So, I'm back to transistors, for now. I may also order the fets that you mentioned.
All worth a try. But, those 2sc5200 are cheap enough to play around with. And with fairly quick free deliver.

  Believe me when I say my head is still spinning from looking at all the different options to analyze. LOL!

   Yes, but, in the diagram shown above i believe that the connection joining the two grenade coils, together, had been changed, back to how it was previously.  If joined together the grenade's 168 turns output coil, then become of the main magnetic induction circuit's inductor, as well. Stronger than the output of the 3 turns coil to the grenade resonant inductor,  by itself.
  But, when both coils are connected together, as shown in the diagram, by a jumper wire, and also an earth ground line connection, at the 0.47uf tuning cap, I don't notice anything to write home about.

   Yes, and that's what I mean, each version is totally different, and yet are all showing self running devices.
  The Ruslan's full bridge rectifier set up, at the grenade's output coil, is also different from how Akula has it, on his second video device schematic, as well.
  Many ways to skin a cat?  It would seam...

Nick, Void.
No, Ruslan didn't answer yet. I am giving a very very little chance I am flying to Latvia in September, That time we will have already working device anyway- or not???!!! 
Yes,  those are the pictures from the movie I was making my hand sketch from.  On Nick's pictures it is the original made by Ruslan. Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXXE4mwRiHU
He didn't speak about the details as the capacitors. His point was only to show the basic  principle of obtaining the standing wave between the Grenade coil and Current coil. 
In the corner of my sketch, I attached the detail how to find and tune to the standing wave according to this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn3jTa0VMb0
Basically a current transformer on the main ground with the scope connected to it.  On the scope you should see the "sperm" shape. But what is important- the distance between each peak has to be same. You can tune it with the number of turns on the main GND cable. Strait GND cable didn't work for that guy.  Has it something to do with the impedance? Does couple turns increase the capacitance?
Over the time I have downloaded many videos. I want to go through all of them and make important point.
On the picture below is my today's rework of my replication .  I am thinking about the antenna above the grenade. Ruslan calls it capacitor.   On this capacitor should be max voltage - The capacitor as an equivalent to standard Teslas toroid on the top- in other words there must be max peak of 1/4 wave.  I am going to experiment to make this "Capacitor" equivalent to Tesla's bifilar. The reason why I am thinking this way is I do not want that capacitor  (as a single wire)  to be just an extension of the Tesla coil.  As a Tesla's Bifilar it should have equal voltage between the turns and minimum capacitance between the turns...right?

Hi john.k1. Very nice clean layout there in your circuit setup. Good job!
Yes, I mentioned this a long time ago here, that what is being called an 'antenna'
is actually just a capacitive top load on the tesla coil. I did some tests quite a while
back that suggested to me that this short winding with heavy gauge wire is actually coupling to
the grenade coil/inductor coil primarily via the E-field, that is, it is coupling mainly capacitively to the grenade/inductor coil.
When a tesla coil is operating at exactly quarter wave resonance, you will get max voltage at the very
top of the tesla coil. Ruslan is just pointing out that for max voltage to be on the 'antenna' winding, then
you should be running your tesla coil secondary at its exact quarter wave resonant frequency.

A tesla bifilar winding increases the overall self capacitance of the overall winding by quite a lot, which allows more energy
storage in the coil. I don't know if it has any practical advantage over a normal single wire winding in this case,
but it is always worth a try.

Ruslan talking about a standing wave between the 'current coil' (also called the 'inductor' winding) and the grenade coil
doesn't seem to make sense, but maybe it is just Ruslan's wording since Ruslan doesn't seem to be formally trained in electronics
and seems to like making up his own definitions and explanations of things, which often doesn't seem to make sense.

Yes, the long ground wire may be acting as a sort of counterpoise wire for the whole sytem. When you add or remove loops in the
ground wire, you are changing the tuning of that ground wire by varying the amount of inductance in the wire. You can also do this by
varying the total length of the ground wire, but using the ground wire loops allows you to tune the ground wire without having to
actually change its overall length. This bit about Ruslan intentionally adding loops in his ground wire to tune his circuit
is the first I have heard this. There were hints already that the ground wire must be tuned, but I hadn't seen the ground wire
loops as being done intentionally mentioned previously, but this does make sense to me.

All the best...

  He also states that this coiled tuned ground line, does not then even need a ground rod, and can be left open.
  So, the ground line is acting as some kind of ground line/antenna circuit. Adding tuning caps on the ground line can also help to fine tune, or adjust for the best performance, at the grenade's output bulbs.
Or is that just my imagination going wild again? As I only understand one word out of ten, or more.
