It's a foil covered ball with a breakout point. He's working on a toroid...

Hi Terry, list,

May be we can check what they used in arc stabilized welder, many
used a small kind of tesla to surimposed a high voltage high
frequency current to the low voltage high amp. low frequency
current but they  need to prevent the high frequency from
entering the main transformer especially for modern equipment
were they used a lot of triac and mosfet an other thing they need
to put a return path for the high frequency current. In some
circuit I saw a caps in parallel with the main transformer with
or without a resistance and 2 inductance between the trans. and
the cap.

If my memory is good in one of your paper you tested a similar
circuit with a mix result the RC circuit seem to perform better.

Cheers,

Luc Benard
