Single circuits generate nuclear reactions

@allcanadian,

by "standard induction" do you mean you're discharging the cap through a primary on the same toroid coil and still taking the output off the sec.?

and by comparison, you're discharging the cap through the carbon pellet/tungsten rod combo and noting voltage/current and relative bulb intensity?

you should register some output at your bulb regardless of which way you discharge the cap, and as well with a piece of copper wire in place of the carbon/tungsten. all 3 methods should produce some reading.

so how will you know if the device is "working properly" I wonder if no input vs. output power comparisons are done?

sorry for the not so bright question...sometimes it takes me a while to catch on

This site also uses Carbon Rods & Radioactive Tungsten Rods, and he has both photos & Schematics.  I am wondering if we can use anything here to help us out?

Anyone tried putting a loop through the toroid as opposed to around the toroid?

i.e. the drawing below:

A is the current setup with the current looping around the toroid core

B is the new proposed setup with the current looping in and out of the lumen of the toroid.

Has anyone confirmed that the beta detectors are giving false readings? A good test would be to wave a strong magnet back and forth near the beta detector and see if it gives any beta counts (it shouldn't).

Your 'B' is the only way I do it. I typically use solid copper for the loop so it can be formed into a rectangle. The reason is I continue to believe these devices either use or should use the rotational attributes of a homopolar device (along with the mag field, of course).
The root of this belief was a simple experiment with a small plastic cup setting on top of a coin shaped magnet. Put a saltwater solution in the cup and sprinkle a little pepper for visuals. Insert + and - wires. One in the center and one at the edge of the water. The water rotates.

I know you would already know this but I added detail for others.

The point is: the current flow needed to be between the center and the radial edge within the mag field to obtain rotation. I'm quite sure there are a lot of things going on. One of which may be rotation.

@All

This is probably the best thread to ask.... When cutting or drilling graphite, is there common tooling? If so what is it? I need to drill an axial center hole in a small graphite rod. Carbide bits chunk the material. Diamond Dremmel bits dull too quickly.

Thanks,

John
