High Speed Mechanical Switching Vs Transistors (aka purple flashing)

Precision control

@ Sigzidfit - Are you going to build that? I hope so, it would be nice to have more members of the mechanical switch club

Love and light

Inq,

I made the machine of garbage that was chronicled in this thread:

http://www.energeticforum.com/renewable-energy/4218-interupter.html

Thats the device that made the purple flash in the video I did for you in this thread:

http://www.energeticforum.com/renewable-energy/4597-more-watts-please-replicate-leave-feedback.html

The same silly machine is also mentioned in the "Earth Battery SG" thread. It ran for several days live on Justin TV powered by junk 6 volt lantern batteries. I've farted around with the same "dead" batteries for a lonnng time. Many moons.

As for the overall direction of the project I recently posted some info in the "Use For the Tesla Switch" and various other threads.

Alas, factors such as no capital, tools or materials slows the quest. I wouldn't mind a bit though if some one built it for me. I would like to have a copy.

Peace

Mechanical disruptive discharge swithing?

I haven't had the time to read all & look at any of the You-tube clips at the start of this, but I will later tonight.

My idea recently for a mechanical switch to exclude the air & produce a "Disruptive Discharge" or a sudden Crack! (as per P. Lindermann's talk on Tesla's Radiant Energy).

I made a vertical set-up inside a glass tube (so I could observe it - Bad idea) with Mecury on the bottom (a conductor inside the Mercury and exiting out a sealed hole in the side). Then I made a tungsten rod that moves up and down, in and out of the mercruy. Set so it JUST touched the Mercury. The I filled the rest of the tube with Glyserine, as it has a huge dielectric strength of around 42! The Tungsten rod was made to vibrate or move up and down by an insulated attachment to a shaft on a solinoid which was pulsed. (I have heard of high speed solinoids which can operate to around 100k c/s)? Need to investigate that.

The switch lasted for two "cracks" until it went bang! The glass tube shattered and sprayed glyserine everywhere, along with a tiny amount of the Hg.

Next build will have the container made of teflon or something much more robust. Then we will see what happens!

Safety splash shields etc will be in place this time!!

Respect to all. Sputins.

Sorry I missed some of that, maybe it was when I was in hospital. I'm very interested and will take a look at your pdf.

Awesome! Bang is good, I've only achieved fire and fizz so far.

Lol

I think I've got the setup imagined ok, but could you post a quick pic?

125V 3A mercury switch

Ok, thanks to sputins' mercury switch, I've been inspired.

Partly. Well, actually I'm just copying.

SPST Mercury Switch - Jaycar Electronics

Now how to use this, which is better than a reed switch re watts..



One could, like sputins, just appropriate the mercury drop and use a solenoid. That's a fine if not explosive idea

Or enclose the mercury in a glass eyedropper tube with a bottom electrode and have the top electrode be a swinging steel needle, actuated by passing magnets.

Hg Switch

Inquarate..

Hehe, its ok to copy, perhaps tweak a it bit too, that's why i'm sharing! I Think if your discharging a large cap (30uF @ 5000V) like I was, the Jacar mercury switch may explode. Also there is air in there, you may find excluding the air is a good idea. Those switches make it easy to obtain a small amount of mercury though.

Just take it easy with the Mercury, I have found out the hard way! I will post a pic or something when the new switch is photo worthy.. Thanks for sharing all of your you-tube clips.. I must do the same at some point..

SPDT Reed Tube

(KO) DRR-DTH-445
The ideal Reed switch and here's why: 1. It has form C, SPDT contacts. 2. Contacts rated 250v, 5 amp, 30 watt. 3. Small size, 0.201"D x 2.25"L. The glass body is 1.437" long. The N.O. lead is 0.562" long. The common and N.C. lead are 0.25" long. 4. Highest quality by Hamlin. 5. Sealed tube is weather proof. 6. We have 18,000 in stock so save big bucks off the $6 OEM price. Trip reed switch with permanent magnet as in alarm system, or wrap tube with magnet wire for very low current switch.

$3.00 each

Reed Relays

Here's a site for some pretty decent reed switches at a good price if anyone needs them.

Anyone can translate this to more easier word? What device this quote mention?
"On Current Interrupters"

I may mention one here, based on a different principle which is incomparably more effective, more efficient and also simpler on the whole. It comprises a fine stream of conducting fluid which is made to issue, with any desired speed, from an orifice connected with one pole of a generator, through the primary of the induction coil, against the other terminal of the generator placed at a small distance. This device gives discharges of a remarkable suddenness, and the frequency may be brought within reasonable limits, almost to anything desired. I have used this device for a long time in connection with ordinary coils and in a form of my own coil with results greatly superior in every respect to those obtainable with the form of device discussed.

Conductive liquid spray

@Sucahyo - basically, he's saying that a pump makes a fine point of spray of conductive liquid from a container with one battery contact in the liquid, when sprayed onto a metal plate (collect the drops to re use) will be of very high frequency.

The liquid could be water with a solution of Epsom salt, copper sulfide, etc. Salt would corrode the pump.

Perhaps a small decorative fountain pump would suffice.

interesting idea, no sparking.

I see, thanks, I thought it was to send periodic block of water as contacting bridge. I guess any electrolyte can electrolize the contact. Would high concentration of electrolyte can bridge low voltage contact?

Electrolyte

@ Sucahyo - yes, you'd want to dissolve as much into the water as you could, or find another conductive liquid or increase the voltage if the electrolyte won't carry enough current..

I see, that's one of the reason to use mercury?

[Inquorate]

Mercury

Yes, but your body can't get rid of absorbed mercury which makes you go mentally crazy.

So, steer away from mercury streams.
