Here I use 3 different types of metal to make and break the circuit connections.

Magnesium, Zinc, and Copper.

  • Hi NRGFromTheVacuum,

    Use a neon-bulb/glow-lamp between the output capacitor and the coil instead of shorting out this output capacitor,too. Then short out only the input capacitor to the coil. It should give the same result if the induced voltage in the coil is high enough to jump over /spark inside the neon-bulb

  • The only neon bulbs I have are 90 volt ones, so the output of 100-300 volts would be to high for those.

    I need to find higher voltage neon's if I'm going to try what you stated.

    Just to make this clear, you want me to connect a bulb from the point where I short the 2 leads to the output capacitor? So that an arc jumps through the neon's into the output capacitor?

    I'm almost positive the effect will not be the same, but it should be interesting none the less.

see all

  • Different metals will make different color sparks.

  • Interesting video as I've been researching contacting metals for many months now. What you'll probably realize is that a higher impedance on the charging battery makes less of a spark on contact. Less spark means more radiant going to the battery, that's what you want.

    I've tried copper, zinc and magnesium and found that they oxidize too easily. I'm currently testing higher end metals like rhodium, silver and tungsten carbide.

  • It remains in both of them,sorry is been taking months to respond but I'm traveling in a foreign country

  • Hello, supercap only 2.5 v charged at 1.05 volts transfered 2 volts to a 330volt 80mf capacitor from a fugi camera charge , it remains in the 80mf 300v cap? or both the super cap & 80mf cap?  Thank you

  • Thing is this las fast discharge how do we use it? now is it even normal to transfer 2 out of 2 volts with almost no loss?amazing great work I meant to tell you a while ago

  • one thing is holding truth in my tests voltage doubles and even goes 6 times higher but battery to battery dont hold the charge it goes down a lot one result is amazing though from supercap 2.5 v 10F only charged at 1.05 volts transfered 2 volts to a 330volt 80mf i got from a disposable camera the charge shows up after a while and it remains there

  • I got my capacitor losing voltage from 140 down to 2 volts why is that? Im thinking that unfortunately at rest that is the real intake of the charging capacitor

  • your graphics have the polarities inverted once corrected I got results

  • it maters if use a common resistor instead a coil?

  • have you see this?/watch?v=wRWwFxNZZxc

    Can you try the magnet amplification with your circuit?
