Single circuits generate nuclear reactions

[Yucca]

Yucca,
yes a spark gap could work, I am thinking of using a mouse trap with a couple of fat copper contacts possibly amalgamated on the surface with mercury, where the mouse's neck would go. Mechanical switches are electrically noisy, but mercury gets rid of that. Unlike expensive FETs this type of switch is cheap and is also very fast closing, in less than a nanosecond, and pretty well indestructable.

I still believe Naudin's results so somewhere I must have done something stupid.

Best of luck with it Mike, your mousetrap & mercury idea sounds ingeneous and fun

Mouse Trap $1 at dollar store, ingenious!
To get a quick pulse place the contact point before the trap is fully closed,
so the contacts just touch momentarily.

Now with this idea there is even less of a reason why more people can't test this themselves.
I know mosfets can get expensive after a while if you keep frying them.
Once the rest of the circuit works then we can come up with the perfect mosfet setup.

Now you just need to worry about the cost of the capacitor bank, and toroid.
Both of which are very unlikely to get fried.

I can't stop thinking about "The Michael Meyer and Yves Mace Isotopic Generator"
and the similarities it has to this circuit.
It uses 3 coils mounted on an iron bar.
1. magnetizes the bar and could be replaced with a perm. magnet.
2. oscillates at the Resonance Larmor Frequency of 21 MHz AC. 
(I don't know were they got that freq. from but is there one for carbon?)
3. Picks up the power produced.
This setup claims to extract power from radioactivity as well.

Maybe we don't need the capacitor bank, just the right freq. of oscillator.
Or maybe incorporate the oscillator and still use the cap. bank.
Perhaps an oscillator can replace the radiation from the Th.Tungsten rod.

You see how close the two concepts are to one another?
By the way this concept isn't totally off topic, it is the #2 concept mentioned on page one of this thread. 
For those who want more info on it, just go to page one, and read up on it.

If I remember correctly, the Larmor frequency only works for isotopes/elements that have an odd number of nucleons,  protons or neutrons. So common carbon 12 would not have a Larmor frequency but C13 would. C13 exists only at a concentration of about 1% in common carbon. I  looked it up recently and its Larmor frequency is in the region of 100 MHz.

I am afraid I am one of those people who does not give up easily on technical issues.
I want to find out why I cannot repeat Naudins VSG tests irrespective of whether it is due to the beta/Prolef effect or not. Suppose Naudin's claims for the cause of the current gain are in error, then what must be done to repeat the spurious effect of current gain, within the constraints of what he has published and demonstrated in his series of three tests?
For example one possible cause which might be suggested is that the first impulse through the tungsten/carbon junction improves the conductive path so the next pulse has a lower resistance with consequent higher current and the the presence of the imposed magnetic field has nothing to do with it. It would be easy to find out by reversing the sequence:- put the magnetic field on first and fire the impulse and then remove the magnetic field and fire the impulse, if the above were true the second impulse would always be bigger.
The problem is that my tests show the two impulses are always the same height and area with or without a magnetic field and whatever the sequence.

Naudin used a spark gap for his setup, spark gaps are interesting things.
Spark gaps are sources of negative resistance.
Also he used the Th.Tungsten, which is radioactive.
The original case happened in a nuclear reactor,
but this thread veered off the use of the gamma source.
Maybe someone purposely veered us off it so we wouldn't get a working unit.
Early in the game someone stated that we don't need the thorium to get output,
but no one has got any output since that statement was made.
Except for Uncle's run away.

The biggest question I have about Naudin's measurements is the radiation he was reading.
How did he conclude the radiation wasn't caused by Thorium residue from the spark gap.
The closeup shots clearly show that some of the tungsten rod was eroded away,
so there must be some thorium residue mixed in with the carbon residue.

Again, spark gaps are interesting things, it is the bases of the #3 system at the beginning of this thread.
I built an argon discharge tube 3 winters ago and I got 2.5 times the output then input from it, so I know they work.
It is also the source of excess energy from Naudin's cold fusion experiments.
A spark gap made of steam forms between the tungsten rod and the water.
It is also the bases of the bingo fuel system.
A spark gap made of steam forms between the carbon rods.
Then there's the presently active experiments on running an engine on water.
Again it's a spark gap, from the spark plug.
Then there are Tesla Coils, again spark gap.
One fellow used a magnet placed in at one end of a spark gap
and got much longer sparks then he should of for the voltage input he was using.
Plasma tubes, vacuum tubes, any time 2 metal electrodes are placed close together to get a spark,
or plasma, they have a spark gap.
Also consider that all spark gaps are capacitors that have been charged to there breakdown voltage. 
So capacitance has something to do with this excess energy.
Maybe this is the source of the Testatika Machine's excess energy as well.
The metal plates passing each other are varying capacitors.
Is this not what is happening in a spark gap as well.

Anyone keeping up with all the threads here, how many more examples can you come up with???

Over and over again I see a pattern forming in this forum, centered around spark gaps.
Maybe everyone here should start focusing on just experimenting with various spark gap setups.
Take measurements, and determine if this is the real source of over unity. 
I don't think there is any serious experimenter here that can't build some form of spark gap.

There must be an answer somewhere. 
There are to many reports of excess energy for there not to be something to it.
