Grumpy notice the directional arrow just above the variable capacitor..
I have some more diagrams i will get them loaded..
it is like an energy check valve
In a tesla system the top load capacitor on the secondary is virtually across the secondary because the base of the secondary is coupled to ground and the top of the top load capacitor is virtually coupled to ground..
specifically negative grounding, ie your grounding area has a surplus of electrons to come up through the check valve
I think the variable cap could be across the secondary and give the same results. You don't have to pull electrons from the ground (earth), they are all around if you can convert them - pull them into reality, so-to-speak. The Tesla system also has a reciever to be complete. The top terminal is coupled to this reciever (which most people neglect to build). Connect the transmitter and reciever directly without the top load and the ground and it will work. I think Meyl pointed this out in his book. Hmm - I don't see Don's reciver. Also, he talks of converting the energy but not of converting it back to conventional current. In regards tot the DS2.jpg page, the number of electrons does not determine voltage. I find it very curious that Don never mentions any of the curious things that effect these systems: time of day, longitude position, solar flares, etc. (I suspect barometric pressure may also effect things). In short, I think Don was a good BS'er. If you want a Tesla Magnifier, just build one.
