Use for the Tesla Switch

[StevanC]

Darkwizard,
Is this a solid state dual cap dumped SG (jt) type of setup?

You seem to dump while running, so no self sustained setup?

Thanks a zillion , will study

[darkwizard]

This is my research

When you close the switch the spike is developed, that is why some people uses resistors to charge the cap, but the resistor transfer the energy into heat, now with a coil you can transduce it into real power.

High inductance, very low impedance coil.

Schpankme,
could You please revide Your circuit to comform closer to the "usual" standards:

Stevan,

Interesting circuit and nicely documented; it reminded me of one from past experiments (see attached file from my notes).

Thank you,

Schpankme

Schpankme,
could You please revide Your circuit to comform closer to the "usual" standards:
where a wire crosses forming a "node" it is to be marked with a circle, where they are crossing without contact, there is none?
Or will You wait until I make an try for You?

Very nice informative document. Specially the specs on the MJL and the information about the dicharge pulse. A very quick pulse at 30Ma!!! because of the sharp leading edge. How true is that and how do you get to that information or is it to mathamatical? Must be the same thing they get with spark gaps. Is this actually drawing energy from outside?
Also the first time ever I heard about the Sziklai configuration. Is that of Russian origins? Never seen it in any of my textbooks. Or did you name it?
Only 2V FVD!!
I am still busy doing the pcb layout. I dont like building such a big circuit by soldering component legs together.

The man
The configuration in detail

The 30A capture will be (hopefully) in attached picture:
And the 4A DC calibration procedure also?


I just put the pieces together

Thank you

Thank you very much Stefan for returning to this thread with all that info, making it public, the wonderfull pdf opened my eyes
I knew you had it when I saw your video's some weeks ago
When I can afford to buy the cap's I wil try to replicate and experiment

@nvisser: I like your version of the circuit, did you build it already?

Hi,
thank You all for thanking, it's JB's credit mostly, not mine, I merely "indigo" it

Please provide some feedback regarding the build, if any ?
and/or few photos?

Best regards,
Stevan C.

[citfta]

Thanks Stevan

Thanks Stevan,



I was able to download it ok from your link that says "the file". An excellent design project and a great written description for how to build and test.


Thanks again, Carroll

[Shamus]

Yes, thanks Stevan. Much better.

[nvisser]

Thank you Stevan
I managed to download the pdf with Download Accelerator
I will go through it tonight

[Matthew Jones]

Ya it can be a task. I am not going to install a bit torrent either.

I'll PM you if you with my email, If you want I can post it for ya on my website, which is easy access and will not go down in the forseable future.

Look for the PM

Matt

Please, can you put somewhere where you don't have to sign up with Google or anyone else to get the file? I just tried creating an account with Google to see the file but they want a phone number with text messaging capabilities before they'll give you one. Sorry, but that's a little too personal for my taste. :P
