ENERGY AMPLIFICATION

[MarkE]

I know this is not what we are taught but a diode conducts both directions pos energy in the forward direction and neg energy in the reverse.

Electrons actually move from neg to pos, so look at the orientation of a circuit and the diode, neg electrons are moving through the diodes reverse direction.

Well it's not positive and negative energy per-se.  But you are onto an important point and that is that diodes rectify currents.  They do not discriminate between greater and lesser energy, which is why Johnson noise harvesting schemes such as those promoted by Thomas Valone and others do not and cannot work.

Bob I have thought along those lines, this should take reactive power out of the primary.

That really depends on what the load looks like and the turns ratio.  A well coupled transformer operated in the forward mode (like a line transformer) stores very little reactive energy.  A really good transformer will only store about 1% of the power that goes to the load.  In an AC mains set-up, that 1% is largely returned to the power source each cycle.

After rereading your post I guess this is not what you had in mind.
The secondary's fields can be rectified so not a problem, the problem lies in the bemf of the primary, it fights the oncoming pulse, kindof like a car on a one way street going against traffic, the capacitor relieves this problem as in a tank circuit but also destroys energy.

The diodes should relieve this problem and capture the bemf as well as rectify it for use in the circuit.

Tight coupling between the transformer primary and secondary reduces leakage inductance to low values.  A really good transformer reflects the secondary to the primary with almost no additional inserted impedance.  A properly chosen capacitor can resonantly null out the impedance of the remaining leakage inductance.

Diodes act like filters
Look at these two sch. nothing changes except the direction of the diodes, one produces neg ions and the other pos ions.


In an ion gen where both polarity's are allowed access to the environment ion clouds form, both pos and neg. Now if electricity only flowed through the diode in the forward direction an ion cloud would form around the pos electrode and a deficit would be created around the neg electrode, but thats not what happens.

Dave the diodes in the output sections of both of those circuits are part of voltage doubling networks.  During one half phase the capacitor attached to the transformer secondary charges through the vertical capacitor.  During the opposite phase, that capacitor discharges through the horizontal diode into the output capacitor.

In electronics, the term "filter" means "frequency selective network".  The diodes in your example do not function to filter energy on a frequency dependent basis.  They just pass current based on the direction of potential imparted across them.
