I looked at Roberto's old "bench" thread on IronHead's forum to see what he actually tried regarding the AVEC. That thread is 36 pages long, but looking it over quickly, he initially used a lower voltage of 500v and IRF840 MOSFETs, then SSRs later at 1kv.
At other times he used 1.2kv, but I'm not sure what he doing as he could pulse ccu1 at 1kv but ccu2 had a re-triggering issue above 400v. There are 6 ccu's total.
He had his controller 15 to 25cm from the coils. Hmm, he had some hash he could not get rid of...no matter what he did.
He was pulsing all 6 at 600v, but no sign of the comp field or usable output.
At one point he used 6kv for 3 ccu's at 3khz and no results.
In summary, we cannot say that the information from Spherics has been disproven or not, based on the results Roberto posted on that forum.
