The slotted tube, wire, or ferrite toroids down the center of an inductor assembly such as the grenade, forms an asymmetrical transmission line. What use is this one might say well, things can get interesting under certain conditions. For example, the attached sim shows the results of an asymmetrical t-line operating at 1/2 wavelength for example. This is 1/2 wavelength of the t-line parameters not the length of wire.
As can be seen, the rms current in the common of the distributed capacitance shown by IV3 from the t-line inductance is 2x the currents measured at the input and output of the t-line. Why is this? Because the polarities of the conventional current flows into the input and output of the t-line are equal at 1/2 wavelength.

Hi PM, That is very similar to STEAP. The difference is the input is a positive pulse and the line resonates at its natural resonant frequency multiplied by the frequency of the pulse. Advantage of this can be made by mixing 2 distinct frequencies. Again 2 distinct pulse lines, 2 mosfets and charge chokes, can be mixed across a coil. This gives a distinct positive voltage across the coil (differential voltage). This post is in ref:to PMs post, and I think it is in line with this thread as a simpler way of doing things. Regards Mike
