Single circuits generate nuclear reactions

Must have lots of impurities in it. Probably Ti and other minerals. Even my 1/2" rod was .8 ohm, so you guys need different rod I think. Both rods I have claim to be 99.95 percent pure, but there are lesser grades that have up to 200ppm of other minerals. I will show you what I did for connecting to the carbon. I machined 5/8" aluminum rod into a sleeve that has set screws on each end and one end is thread with 5/16-18 for a bolt to bolt the #6 welding cable (600V max on insulation) to the ends.

Lemme see if I can make a quick video to show some of the details.

Good Morning Uncle Fester,

Just watched your video.  Most excellent.....as they say, a picture is worth a million words.  I applaud the amount of work you have put into your project!  KEEP it up...... 

Just sitting here circling the wagons now till parts come in.!  You obviously have been working on this for a while, can you shed any words of wisdom on what you found as to the requirements of the duration of the input pulse time wise, vs. the time of the output pulse when a reaction occurs?  As Eldarion below has noted if you put 109J into rod/sec......a hell of a lot of power in the rod so it would seem there is a short duty cycle or a lot of smoke!

Thanks for fixing the url. More work to be done this weekend, but I am close to firing it again.

@Eldarion

High kilowatt pulse only happens for about 200uS, so we wait for 16.55mS before we fire again. Now, we have 8.275 200uS pulses within a 16.55mS timespan, this leaves us with 790 watts average per full cycle, even a small 1500 watt inverter should handle this power requirement temporarily until we have enough power to self run. If you see on your scope that the pulse is dragging out into 500uS or more then you need a different cap that will discharge faster. On the first firing we should have the energy available to loop power back to input and now we have a self runner. It only takes one pulse to see if we have enough energy to self run, just as Juan say's. He loops the system after the first pulse. small self runner was 2000VDC @ .68uF per pulse, measures out to 6 watts continuous.

This is very interesting data.  Where are you getting the info from Juan? Is it another website?
For a high resistance carbon source has anyone tried using coal cut into rods?
I remember reading that Vallee used coal in his experiments.

I have been using 10mS pulses, so I need to greatly reduce the time.
Also the shorter the pulse width the more current the mosfets can handle.
I'm using 10x150V 40A mosfets. With 60V caps. I may be to low a voltage but I hope not.

My main question now is the toroid. How close to the rod should the inside be?
My toroid has an inside dia. of 28mm and is 25mm wide. It has 4 different windings on it.
I bought it this way. What ratio of windings should we be using.
The rod would count as one winding, so do we use 2 or 3 windings of very thick wire for the collection winding?

Earlier in this thread Juan's info was posted. All details were covered. Enough info to not only replicate but even build a commercial unit (assuming the data is not false). But Juan appears to know too much detailed info for it to be false, even the formula for capacitance, and the resistance of the rod he uses 1.8ohm, it goes on, he knows more than just a bystander.

A schematic was given out off the list to someone as well, but the information already given is all that is needed.

Hi Uncle Fester,

Understand the numbers above but slightly confused as to some values.  If  2000VDC @ .68uf will excite a rod, (I have everything to duplicate this level right now except for carbon)  why have we been so hung up on the high value 108J per pulse except for high power output.  It would now appear that under the right conditions, there is a wide window of excitation and output!  It also appears that the pulse need never be longer than 200us (and can be MUCH shorter!) and the conditions such as rep. rate, etc are totally dependent on voltage/resistance, etc. in the loop!  What a rich area for R&D!  Darn it, I need my carbon.

My good friend Ossie has also put me on to the idea of using a Xenon strobe tube which is virtually indestructible to fire this sucker!
Right on Ossie.
