ENERGY AMPLIFICATION

[wattsup]

Don't know if I have this right or wrong.

If you use a zenor diode on the flyback line that returns to source, the flyback will have to load the zenor to a minimal level before the zenor opens. Flyback is usually a very reactive energy form showing high volts but minimal amps so maybe the zenor is recompressing the reactive energy to a more usable recharge energy.

zener in series? to get higer open voltage?

to get silent spark gap very fast clever way

Thanks for all the input. We can use all we can get.

I have thought of quite a many ways to use the zener.  In the beginning, Teets said to use at least 3v zener.  Seems small dont it.  But it does not mean it doesnt have a useful purpose here.  Just thought I would put this out there for those who are thinking about it. =]    In his circuit with the 24/220 transformer using the secondary as a primary, it had shown a regular diode in series with a resistor, but he said to remember to use a zener.  I dont know if it is the one in the drawing or additional and not shown.

Oh    what is a CRON?     Teets?     I looked it up but not getting notable results in search.
