Light Board ready

I finished wiring the light board tonight.

Seth,
Wow man , thank you. I'm having a great time here. Thanks to you and everyone here who build and experiment.

Go Jiffy Go!!!!!!

You are the coiler par excellence.

Measurment tools

I mounted the Killawatt meter into a PVC box and hard wired it to make it more effective for the Kapagen measurements. This is one of three devices I'll use to measure input and output from and to the Kapagen generator.

Light Board progress

I installed the JES 230 volt surge arresters across the terminals of each socket tonight. I drilled a hole through the side of the socket then feed the arrester assembly through the hole and attached it across the terminals. This may be overkill but J. Naudin used them so I figure they can't hurt from keeping any transient spikes from coming back through the light assembly (or greatly decrease them).

Thank you kindly. I do enjoy building and I hope to provide as best a replication as possible.

Jiffycoil Bldg Technique

Hi Jiffycoil,

Your building technique, workmanship, is awesome. Thanks for sharing the photos. I also like the use of the pvc tubing and the pvc end caps.

Best Regards,

Mini Kapagen

I thought why I'm at it I may as well build a smaller version of the Kapagen. I constructed the coil tonight. I also started the Light board assembly for testing of the larger unit.

Great Thread!!

Hi Vidbid,

This is a great thread. Thanks very much for starting it!!

Thanks Luishan,
I try to approach all of these devices with an open mind. I think many times replicators can get discouraged because the replication they built of a design they found in pictures or on the web don't seem to work. I think many times the device really doesn't work as the inventor claimed. Also sometimes the inventor doesn't include small details in the published material that need to be used for the device to work as claimed. I think sometimes the inventor wants us to do a little work to understand the device. I always look at these devices and try to understand firstly how it can do what it actually does. Then move forward from that point. This device does transfer energy by one wire so from this point I will proceed.

Would you try to replicate Donald Smith Setup.

To : Jiffycoil

Very nice work. I recently research about Donald Smith Set-up.
In my point of view his set-up was not fake. Some people report partial succeed replicate. Check it out below links.
The user name "tranbinhtran" report very considerable succeed.

Don Smith's Briefcase Device
YouTube - Smith resonance

Also I looking for 1996 ExtraOrdinary Magazine Volume VIII Issue 2, 4.
Donald Smith mention that magazine at the 1996 Tesla Symposium.
Anybody have a copy of the magazines ?
I try to search internet, But I couldn't find any information about that.

@Sputins
Thanks for the kind words. As far as I can see it does transfer energy via single wire. It does work in that respect. As a coil design I find it fascinating. Now whether or not it generates more energy than it gets remains to be seen. I will take my time and post results responsibly. I will tell you it was a blast to build and not to costly.

[Sputins]

nice build.

I really hope it works for you..!

Anyway, it is a lovely build Jiffycoil.

I can easily see that you are a fairly good "Tesla coil builder".

All wired

I finished wiring my Kapagen tonight. I used high voltage wire from the MOT to the capacitor and High current wire on the rest of the connections. I kept all connections as short as possible. I wonder how many people who built one of these used a 1Meg Ohm resistor across the capacitor? The way many designs read it looks as though you need one there as a bleed resistor. Just a note to future builders Microwave Oven Capacitors MOC's has an internal bleed resistor that bleed off charge in about 15-20 seconds. I wanted to test the build so I hooked it up to my shop ground and hooked up one 100w bulb.

At 100 volts

Looks like normal output for the voltage at this point though it is running single wire. Next I build the light board and sink some ground plates.

@luishan
I'm following Jean-Louis Naudin's design. You can find the spec's on his web site. I am making a few changes that I learned making Tesla coils. I will test this unit very soon and if it works I will post the full specs for all to use. At this point only partially through with the build I don't feel confident with posting specs for a unit untested yet.
