Marius,
I am presently working on a primary charging system using two ferrite core
transformers, from an old x-ray power supply, that will be pumped via solid
state dirver circuit. My idea is to be able to adjust the frequency between
1000 and 5000 Hz.
I hope to achieve the condition where the "next" cycle starts just at the
point when the secondary ring down is on it's last cycle. I am thinking that
if the timing is very precise, these waveforms should experience constructive
interference and slightly increase the amplitude with each successive cycle.
The idea here, is that if this can be made to happen, the secondary will
experience a resonant rise in voltage that will keep increasing until the
system losses limit it(or until break out occurs). My TC system will be
designed such that no breakout would occur under the usual charging system at
60Hz and I will design the secondary such that the LC frequency will be the
same as the quarter wave frequency so that a standing wave will be developed.
The transformers and primary cap are rated for about 6 times the voltage
than what I plan to have them put out to prevent damage from feedback. I
think some very interesting effects will be produced if I can successfully
achieve the above conditions, including the production of plasma balls(or
ball lightning).
I believe this is what Tesla was meaning when he stated that there is
practically no limit to the secondary voltage that could be obtained through
resonance. I also think this is what "pushing the swing at just the right
moment" means to borrow that analogy.
Comments anyone?
