Hi everyone. A couple of days ago I made an interesting observation and thought I'd share. I don't know if its been posted on here however if it has I've not seen it.
Anyway, I was messing about adapting one of my monopole machines to various changes including needing to raise the coil because of a change in frame. I usually use CD's or DVD's or whatever comes to hand providing its not something that would draw power away from the Main coil. This time for one reason or another I decided to use a Coil Spool but one with a core already in it. The core was welding rods. I placed the core underneath the Main coil core where the cores were actually making contact.
2 things I noticed straight away. Speed Increase without making any changes to the Resistance settings and more audible sound being carried through the core of the coils. I always tune my machines with the help of my AM radio set to LW frequency. This time the Radio wasn't on as the pulsing was emitting through the core of the coils. I managed to re-tune it with the help of the coil core. Bit freaky!
I've since tried it on three other machines. Two of them I use the Mechanical Switch for Cap Dumping and one of those I had to immediately raise the resistance setting. All three benefit.
I haven't tried extracting power from the coils underneath the Main coil yet. Maybe that's something I will try next or maybe someone else may be interested in trying that. I do know of the tweak where placing a small neo underneath the Coil can sometimes aid the performance of a machine.
Anyway, hope your all well...not posted in a while.
