Not quite. There is a 555 but it only provides the "gating" at audio frequencies. The actual resonant oscillation driving the system is produced by a Phase-Locked Loop circuit that keeps the oscillator tuned to the resonant frequency of the secondary. The PLL chip (4046) picks up the e-field oscillations by an antenna loop at the bottom of the secondary, and this is used as feedback by the PLL circuit. The pulses from the PLL are connected to a current amplifier to drive the Gate of the single mosfet power transistor. The secondary circuit is operating at about 736kHz, and changes by a few kHz either way as the PLL circuit keeps the coil in resonance. The 555 timer just gates the output of the PLL circuit in order to produce the staccato sparking sound at audio frequencies. It is not involved in the actual resonating of the circuit, and without this gating the arc is constant and silent.
If nothing is connected... the frequency and voltage are so high that the environment itself completes the circuit, either by direct ionization or by capacitively coupling between the top of the coil and the Earth.
Yes, you could think of it as a magnetic field from the primary, "jumping the gap" to the secondary. Since I am using air-core coils, there is no magnetic core saturation or power wasted in eddy currents heating the core to worry about. The collapsing field from the primary, each time the mosfet turns off, induces a voltage in the secondary, and since it is tuned to resonance, the secondary voltage builds up to a very high value-- as high as possible, in fact, limited by the spraying off of charge from the top terminal as corona.
The input voltage is 30 volts DC and the output voltage is just over 30kV, as measured with a sphere gap: a voltage amplification of over 1000x. The "turns ratio" is only 84 to 1.

TinselKoala,
To clarify... I am specifically referring to the circuit Patrick Kelly has on his website for the Figuera the 555, 2 CD4017B s and the gate CD4081................

If you have a specific circuit diagram that you're using I would gladly like to pe ruse it...

I particularly Liked His circuit as it was easy to build, I didn't have an arduino ( Yet ), and I didn't want to go down the road of using a UFOpolitic motor or contraption as I am easily diverted into re wiring the RS motor ( I still am waiting to re build it )...

Lastly...in dealing with air gaps...is it better to use an air gap or an insulation ( tape, paper, paint or whatever )...how do you calculate the gap...and will the iron saturate to point of heavy heat ( fire )...

all the Best

@A.King

Sir..Thanks for pointing out 30378 where the poles are defined as opposite poles and also for providing for the attractive forces. Whereas the induction coils are based on repulsive forces the Figuera Generator is based on Attractive forces. You are quite correct in your statement about the interrupter but where is the capacitor in the Figuera patent. I do not see any capacitor arrangement there and no tank circuit there..I apologize if there is a mistake on my part and it is due to my lack of knowledge. I do agree that I modified the primary to have a higher frequency so the input cannot go up beyond calculated limits but I do not understand where is the capacitor in the Figuera circuit..Please advise. Actually this is the patent that convinced me that we must use only opposite poles and not identical poles and in any case I was not getting any voltage in identical pole arrangement of NS-SN-NS as suggested earlier in the forum..I then used not only the attractive force but also the repulsive force to make the modified device. I do not have any oscilloscope and I'm a poor researcher using my own small money to do these things but I cannot afford any thing any more..I came out of the vacation to thank you for your postings on this point.

@TK..You seems to be the most prolific poster knocking out free energy device claims but thanks for acknowledging or indicating that while the input wattage is around 60 watts the output wattage would be far higher in your demonstration of the Tesla Coil..Can you please do an experiment..Put Water in a copper cylinder with open top and surround it with plastic and then copper and secure it well.. Place the water container at some small distance to the Tesla coil so the spark will hit the outer copper. Take a very thick probably 6 inches thick copper rod well insulated and put it to ground. Make the ground point also wet. Can you find out what is the Amperage and voltage from your 60 watts input..I think it will not be 60 watts but way more higher..Do you disagree? Be careful though. I have made a low voltage high frequency circuit of Patrick and we did not find any current coming from the two electrodes.  Then I put two Tens carbon electrodes and held them in my hands and nothing and let the electrodes slip..You know what the carbon electrodes got fire and burnt to my shock. While High Frequency electricity is safe even at high voltages a slight drop of water can change all that and can make deadly current..Water contains a lot of amperage and you may please test it and tell the forum if this is true or not..May be Ramaswami is bluffing you see..It is your equipment..your place and your measurements and Ramaswami cannot deceive here..But please be careful..High Frequency or otherwise once the circuit contains water the electricity is deadly..So please be careful if you elect to do this experiment. I do not have the facilities to do these things.

Hello All,

@TK..You seems to be the most prolific poster knocking out free energy device claims

Rams,
There is a phrase from the State of Missouri and it goes like this... " show me "... when I was building the circuit in November 2013 my electronic engineer friend examined the papers that I had copied from Patrick's website... He too told me it wasn't overunity as He calculated with calculus the circuit and the transformers...subsequently I couldn't get the circuit to work and rebuilt it only to lose Him to a rehab from Hell...Anyway my point is this...my circuit and your apparatus is just a claim until you/we prove it with scientific tests...and I really don't care about scientific tests if my electricity bill goes lower.........:-)

All the best
