In my recent tests of bifilar coils married with a WFC, I have found some interesting observations and facts. My next set of tests will include the below experiment which ANYONE can have a go at.
I established in tests that if you send voltage in opposite directions through a bifilar coil it cancels the magnetic field in the core and stops current following voltage in series. It does so because just like in Stan Meyer designs, when voltage travels in opposite directions in the core, it creates nodes of opposing magnetic fields between the windings. The current can only follow voltage when the entire core has a north at one end and a south at the other. This is current blocking Stan style.
I found out though, that bifilar coils arranged in one particular way produce massive forward voltages compared with the input voltages and I could force forward voltage in one direction but the flyback voltage which was equal could not be stopped from hitting my flyback diode.
So.....instead of allowing this to happen it would be better to have the flyback voltage balance the system and enter another cell through a spark gap. The reason we would need a spark gap is so that we can charge the bifilar coil slowly with pulsed dc which would not reach the breakdown voltage of the spark gap but the flyback voltage would. This way we get both forward voltage and flyback voltage hitting their own cell simultaneously with no current being allowed to flow in the core. It would be so simple to do and not really reliant on resonance but just a balanced impedance at a certain frequency.
Since I've started using spark gaps in schematics, all manner of possibilities have opened up.
