The Master Of Magnetics "Steven Mark"

Hi Dave, you might be right in the case of a real grounded device, but the TPU is not grounded at all, so the placing of the transistor should not play a big role....

Marco, caps is a good approach, as you need a fast sendoff, and fast SHUTOFF. That is the action that creates the bunching effect, and in turn creates the kicks.

[hartiberlin]

Gnostik, you are right, pulsing a coil with multiple pulses will give a curious high power RF burst in it, as you can see with the Newman coils, when the commutator makes multiple very short breaking contacts from the battery to the Newman coil. There you have the same effect of immense radiation around the coil. Steven Mark seems to capture this radiation capacitively!

[hartiberlin]

P.S. In the Newman machines the radiation is lost, cause it is radiated away from the coil. if we would wire around the Newman coilwire perpendicular another wire and use this combination to build  a Newman coil, one could probably get very nice power out of it !

I'm not familiar with the newman machines. But capturing the radiant is the key to many of these machines. See gray's tube device that he used to capture the radiant after he split the positive.
