and the small details which are new are in line with the old transistor radio circuits....hehe and matter of fact im planning some really cool stuff with my spare B&W coils involving identical radio battery-LESS reciever circuits...
i have noticed he has multiple channels, anywy lets hope he never stops creatingIn the beginner's mind, there are many possibilities.

And he's complaining - weak transformer, bad ground, bad antenna, diodes getting very hot, so the whole setup actually could be made better, but I like the idea of getting the antenna and ground in this way to get the potential of "outside" energy (and it's huge) to be involved.
Anyway, it still have HF output, which has to be transformed in input range, which's not shown yet, they just discussing how it's gonna be (other transformer, caps, inverter, etc).
So, it's not over yet.

Dont they have TV or Radio in Russia?
A sparkgap like that in line with an antenna will surely knock of any TVs, radios and mobilephones in the area as it acts like a transmitter?
And what is the NTC on the stepdown primary doing?
If its getting hot it will kill the resonance in the stepdown?

and Janost what if the device was inside faraday cage / grounded metal box/ or EM shielding, could that not be dealt with?
wait till you all see my new spark-gap... hehe !!!
and the BiTT.... holy crap, hang on to your eyesight to believe it...

[QUOTE=mr.clean;213506]Thanks Prompt

The antenna would still be outside the cage or?
Any wiring would still be outside the cage.

new vid
hi everyone, got some new stuff about the Bitoroid....very... interesting.
hehe... golden egg?? i dont wanna speak too soon, but this looks like "it" ... the "it" we have been searching for. I think i did all i could to show input and output readings and the behaviour of the 3 circuits during operation.
The idea is to use this as a HV driver for my big Don Smith device board. one thing at a time, but that is the reason for combined designs
Input is 12v fixed @ .5amp
Output measured at 30v @ .47amp
2.93Khz resonant tuned
L1 29.5mH and 100nF
L2's 178mH and 17nF on each
Even at resonance, the output was increased even further with use of the Bitoroid.
(Heins Effect).

more to come with the Smith board as well....In the beginner's mind, there are many possibilities.

wow very very nice man, seems like u have the right touch with building overunity devices
energy mafia lost a slave
The 2 toroid halves going through the center primary have higher reluctance than the others? Where did u order these toroids?
Kind regards,
main

but i have built a bunch of stuff that doesnt work too
But what i do show is totally legit and no tricks, and given the exact parts, could be very easily duplicated
Yes it seems that the extra flux paths are in fact keeping the bemf from the primary, but the primary was not completely unaffected, when resonance occured, the resistance in the primary behaves differently when you have a certain duty cycle on the driver.
With the duty cycle wanting to drive a constant flow and the impedance being so high at resonance you only need a fraction of the duty to get the results without. But keeping the duty cycle set throughout the range of freqs will give a boost like no other.
And the output at resonance of the BiToroid significantly surpassed the best acheived output of the standard transformer.
There was in issue with saturation tho, there is a limit to the size, but the bulbs will go brighter than the video, but at the risk of overvolting the bulbsIn the beginner's mind, there are many possibilities.
