Just a short video showing that i've isolated the system ground from the choke L2. There is no tuning and nothing is at resonance in the video but I still got above 2kv onto the cell for 0.04 amps and 1600v onto the cell at 0.00 amps.
You will notice that the stray voltage is no longer present in the room and effecting the camera. This is because the voltage on the cell and chokes is now trapped in the circuit and no longer floating around the room. Not enough voltage for gas yet but thats the next step, I need to decrease the reactance of the cell before this can happen, its not tuned to the chokes properly.
I have lots of new ideas and I feel its a matter of time now before I get good gas.

Nice work Nav!

I do believe you are on to something now.  If nothing else, you certainly have a design that will be far more stable in any environment.  I'm actually pretty surprised Stan was able to get his system to work at all.  This modification of yours would appear to be almost mandatory outside of a lab environment.

Still not step charging Matt but at least I know the voltage isn't been absorbed back into the supply. Good things came from today, firstly I now have DC voltage on the cell for the very first time. 2kv of DC in fact but its dissipating at resonance when I've checked the scope just now with 0.2v into the system.
I'm hoping to God that people are learning from all this stuff i'm doing lately because they should do tbh.
But get this - i've learned something today that will baffle the entire scientific world and make a mockery of it. I'll be honest with you, I got a little gas today under a none resonant condition but not a great deal but I got the gas at 0.00 amps and a little trick I did which I did for a laugh really but no ones gonna find it funny when they see it. It involves DC and AC and two diodes, i've got a good idea what took place but it completely perplexed me at first.
I'll reveal it later when I've done more tests on it but it will baffle people I can assure you.

Oh go on then i'll spill the beans. People should really check their DC more often during resonance. If the reactance of the cell is slightly different from the choke it leaves a present behind that the diodes can't pass. Now that's what I call REAL isolation.

Now, lets really get to the nitty gritty and Ronnie knows exactly what i'm talking about. Lets say the choke on the left has an LC resonance with the capacitor at AC and X reactance, this leaves a DC value of Y on the cap. Now on the opposite cycle the choke on the right if it were equal reactance would cancel out the DC of the left choke. BUT..... if the left choke's reactance is slightly lower or higher then a bias exists even though both chokes are at resonance with the cap. The DC bias of one choke above the other is what step charges the cell because the cancellation is never 100% complete and a DC bias is always left behind which is why L2 is always adjustable in Stan's schematics.

Bingo!

By George I think he's got it!

That's some cool stuff right there Nav and basically proves DC is charge and AC is something else, not flip-flopping charge as many of us had thought.

Throughout my tests if people look back through the video's they might notice the strange behaviour of my multimeter. It always jumps constantly from positive to negative on DC readings and also AC readings. There is a reason for this which I didn't know about until this week. In a nut shell it's cancellation of opposing voltage fields and that is where my voltage on the cell is disappearing to instead of step charging.
You see, not many people will know this but diodes do not stop LC resonance between a choke and a cell, they allow it to pass unhindered but they do stop DC from passing. So my system has been charging the capacitor with 2kv on one AC phase then on the next AC phase it's been neautralising it with the opposite charge which sends my multimeter stupid and not knowing which is positive DC or negative DC, so it flicks between the two.
You still only need one diode so that the DC is biased on one cap plate but you need a bias between L1 and L2 in favour of L1 slightly so that a DC bias always remains on L1 that will step charge on every cycle.
In order to know all this stuff you have to witness it yourself and understand it step by step.

Been there done that Nav, ended up frying my multimeter, just a little heads up.
Other than that, I like it just fine where this is going, keep it up :thumbsup2:
