Thanks Harti.....but too late for me...
I sat down and worked it out myself.....
In the end I come up with the same circuit as your first diagram...later i'll test the other one.
Here is what I did.
I used my magnet motor to charge a 25V cap  .....then I shorted the 2 wires to the metal plate.
My load cap charged to about 150v on average, with a 1V drop on the 25V supply cap.
Sometimes I got around 300V but not when I was filming...of course..(around 2 or 3 V drop of source)
I tried many coils and found that the low ohm coils worked best.
The 2 coils I used have 4 ohms each...1500 turns of 16g wire.
I made a video but it is still processing so here is the link to my you tube channel.
The clip should be available soon.

Something I noticed was that the test worked best when the timing of the short matched the rise time of the coil......because I've used these coils loads of times I know how long they take to reach their peak....that is how I got some 300V readings....but I lost about 2 or 3 volts on the source cap.

BTW..thanks to Magnethos for taking time to mail me.
Tomorrow i'll make some tests without the "split pos"  that i used this time.

Scotty.

You forgot to mention the capacities of both the capacitors. Please let us know.
Waiting for the vid.

There are no diodes, or semiconductors involved in my circuit for the obvious reason, they require energy to operate.

Semiconductors are far better, for obvious reasons. They can switch far faster than you, and have better timing. Your circuit would be more efficient if you used a timer and MOSFET.

Not sure why you call it a bifilar coil. Looks like a single strand of wire.

IMO there's nothing special here. Just either your large cap is far less than 7500uF (partially damaged), or the dielectric absorption is not being considered. Perhaps you could measure the capacitance. Just discharge the cap, place an appropriate resistor in series with the cap, connect the battery to it for a certain time (time it), and then measure the DC voltage. Here's an RC time constant calculator -->

Yes, I noticed that too. His video shows two caps, large and small, and a supply, but his circuit shows one cap, LOL. After his post I quickly saw what's happening here, and decide to forget about this case.

Here is the circuit diagram a bit better to see.

I deleted the part to discharge the right cap, cause it
confuses too much.

Regards, Stefan.

Stefan,

That circuit you posted is incorrect!

The part you deleted is not just used to discharge the cap, its used to charge it also.

If people are going to try and replicate the experiment then they need to use the circuit I posted, exactly how I posted it.

Let me draw it this way so there is no confusion.

You are correct about semiconductors being far better at switching than a person, however they still consume energy to operate. You stated yourself that overcoming the losses in your own circuit was a challenge. This is the sole reason I do not use them in my circuit.

Not sure why you call it a bifilar coil. Looks like a single strand of wire.

There are 2 wires tied together at the ends and wrapped side by side around the core. There is a reason behind that construction, but you cannot understand it with conventional wisdom.
