Don Smith replication first step

[coldarc]

anyone see these small dots of light shooting out of the spark gap and the bulb?

@coldarc I do, I believe it's because of the frequency of the screen.

@coldarc small dots of light shooting out

Camera failure that is.

Amazing videos man, how is this build coming along??

im building one of these, just picked up 2, 12,000v, 60ma NSTs :)

ok wat am i looking at here

[Sigitask]

Very well done !

THANKS! I did some experiments with Smith coils, but was very week resonans on primary, because capacitor is big and inductivity very low, i.e. quality of resonant circuit very low.

I dont beleive u have1/4 ratio from L1 to L2? are you using a sg with a ground point?

[eloid777]

on ther other side of your isolation transforoerm the 120v side you need a bank of regualr caps  and recify it and conver back to inverter to get rid of you flashing pulses on the load

[eloid777]

why do you have 2 spark gaps? one is only require on the output,

what value on the output of imparrell with your issolation transform on the output

50- 60 ohms

[eloid777]

does the batery charging feature work?

[eloid777]

where was the circuit obtained from?

what the rating on the caps, also what driving the input? is it a momentary applied power to start it?

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

This must be a really exiting field to work in.
