EDIT 2: the negative electrode glows

(With respect to Reply #7962 on this thread. refer to the picture.)
@all,
I'm glad I saw this.  I didn't know this was possible!  

One electrode only glowing?

I was an electronic technician and my Dad was a part-time electronic engineer in conjunction with his job as an aerospace engineer.  I've seen typical neon bulbs experiencing AC current and glowing on both electrodes---not on only the negative electrode---both at once as usual.

Does anyone know how this is possible?  The electrons are leaving the negative electrode, but where are they going after that???  They disappear?  What else?  The circuit works doesn't it?  I know of no physical phenomenon that can do this.

Is there even a math explanation for this?

Try the neon with out diode (diode makes it dc doesn't it !) neon work on ac.

... that tesla patent 2277some numbers topic.  The original is divided into 4 sections but it's actually only two that cross over to the other side of the coil kinda like the x2 but on a grander scale.

I think it was Mark who made that drawing. The patent is all over this website. It is one I was thinking of playing with too.
In it, Tesla describes that he is making a rotating magnetic field and it is that movement that is what makes the thing so powerful... etc.

It is wound like the x2 primary,  as far as I can see.
Wrapping over and to the right on one side then crossing and starting under and going to the left (or maybe the right) on the other side.
Then done again at 90 degrees from the first one.

... so I think I  will make a small version of this before I start winding the biggo.

I agree. That will tell you a lot cheaply.

thanks for spilling the beans, I am looking forward to this.

It  was  a screwup  in  a way because I did think  I had it connected  in the same way that  you  did .

I am glad that  my screwup   has  helped  you   



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If I  remember right  you had a page  of symbols  for  schematics .
Can  you  post that again ?

The last time   I had not figured out  how to  use  the separate  symbols.

Thanks
