AC there's much bigger fish to fry
I have got the dubious task of explaining how 'nothing ' can be engineered from the vacuum of free space and to do so I must start with an electrical ''something' I an an engineer not a scientist I have been trained to make things work . These things are in my head as pictures they form step functions. the pictures in turn are supported by mathematics . Because all my working life has been practical if it doesn't work it gets jettisoned or altered. if it does work a pretty good idea of why has been sought from my mentors. If it does unknown unpredictable things like this (for instance)

I try my damnedest to find out why. I still do the job. But I'm aware its an iffy situation with 'unknowns' and I think about those 'unknowns' The reason you are using the cap charger at all AC is because its part of a jigsaw remember? please watch this video again then consider the questions I pose
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQhvh3wd2I0 Gotoluc is demonstrating resonance here, his oscilloscope is giving a pictorial image of voltage,. You see a saw tooth and a square wave and a sine wave all demonstrating resonance . Ask yourself these questions and resolve the answer with trigonometry and maths if you don't know the answers find out we are going where instruments and measurists can't go or see anything, you need to see with your head.. its important if you like Don Smith he did !
That waveform is representative of
'something' its a package in fact Hams and Radio guys sometimes call a part of that resonant waveform an envelope as in 'peak envelope power' PEP. DS was a ham he'd know all about PEP his licence depended on it! The 'something' you are looking at here then has a boundary of voltage , you can't see current, or power, never mind energy! but you know it must be in the envelope Here then some questions to ask yourself
1/ If a square wave , sine wave , or saw tooth waveform transform into a resonant curve will other wave forms ?
2 / You watched Gotoluc transform symmetrical waveforms would any waveform be transformed into a sine wave?
3/All the waveforms you see have a boundary of voltage what is contained under that curve ? In other words were you to integrate the area under that curve what would it relate to ?
4/In trigometric theory how many forms and shapes can be constructed from a Sine wave?
5/ considering infinity and the infinite. Is the Sine wave constructed of the infinitesimal unto infinity residue of the cosine and visa – versa ?
6/As silly measurists look at the very pale representation that an oscilloscope offers of what's actually happening, ask yourself this, is it possible to produce a perfect Sine wave or square wave ?
7/ If the void that you see under these waveforms were to be filled with 'white noise' stochastic background or simply what you regard as radiant energy (all the same thing) would the randomness be given form by resonance.?
8/I have hypothesised for you that a simple capacitor will do all and much more than all the so called 'rejuvenators' and explained the difference between series and parallel resonance . One is a wave . And one is an impulse. If I bang a drum , like your eardrum what is that?
9/please look at this video again ,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvJAgrUBF4wIt is clear to see there is resonance occurring you see pattern's forming by fundamental and then harmonics (if you like parallel resonance) or fundamental and then overtones (if you like series resonance.) Work out which it is for yourself Its your question The generator might have a picture of a wave but what's happening at the coal face? A big hint might be a loud speaker used to be called a transducer!
(Take a great big breath think dustifier and Ponder who's to sit on the naughty step!)
10/ So far you are considering a partially understood phenomena (electro-magnetics) in the only dimension you have been taught .. parallel resonance and volts and amps and wot,not now we need to turn it inside out and look at the vacuum. Is there anything in a vacuum in outer space so we can connect our wheelwork ?
Kind regards Duncan
