From Darkspeed 15kv neon sign transformer > fullbridge diode > 5.5uf 20kv pulse capacitor > charging inductors > .15uf @20kv poly capacitor bank > negative side of bank to > magnetic spark gap ( in diode mode ) > 4000ft of 28awg c-200 magnet wire on spool > variable speed rotary spark gap > to positive side of bank.
Transformer charges up the big cap, the big cap charges up the small bank through inductors, when the rotary makes it pulls one pulse through the spark gap and then the gap kills the arc for the duration of the dwell in the rotary gap.
Spark gap: Negative terminal is a brass or iron point Positive terminal is a 2" diameter carbon sphere - machined from rod stock There is a north / south magnet across the gap isolated with mica - this blows out the arc if one forms There is an additional arrangement of radial magnets orientated to push in opposition to the field created by the current flow in the wire and or plasma. I can verify Darkspeed's claim and used an almost identical setup to produce similar effects. As Tesla said, the effect relies on a single high magnitude discharge with no return. A Tesla coil is not required and a 200kV Van De Graaff > 10 plate HV capacitor > non-return rotary spark gap > sphere or low turn coil can produce similar results. As Tesla explained, a radiant discharge should not be confused with EM waves and they are not the same thing. EM waves are similar to ocean waves where the water is displaced vertically. Where a radiant discharge would be more like a Soliton or solitary wave, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SolitonA soliton is a nonlinear, self-reinforcing, localized wave packet that is strongly stable, in that it preserves its shape while propagating freely, at constant velocity, and recovers it even after collisions with other such localized wave packets. Its remarkable stability can be traced to a balanced cancellation of nonlinear and dispersive effects in the medium. As we can see a Soliton wave does not readily interact with other waves, acts independently and resists dissipation in the medium. Is this not exactly what Nikola Tesla described?. Here we have a scientifically proven effect which mirrors what Tesla described. Here's the kicker, radiant discharges and Soliton waves both require that all the conditions be exactly correct for them to form. Get anything wrong and nothing happens which may explain why so many researchers failed to reproduce Tesla's radiant energy technology. AC
