Also, I don't know what you mean by an "ecran".
SkyWalker indicated that an "ecran" is a split metal tube? Is that what you meant?

In his language the word "ecran" means "shield" , as in the shield of a coaxial cable.

Sorry Forest. Your question doesn't make any sense.
Kapanadze does not use an earth ground connection for safety reasons.
It appears Kapanadze's device needs earth ground to be able to perform well,
if it will even work at all if there is no earth ground connection.

Explain then why in every large gas gensets is stated to properly ground device ? Kapanadze device can also work without ground but it's unstable as far as I heard. It may be related to the ground usage as an overvoltage protection ?

Verpies and TomTech:  Thanks for the explanation of what ecran means.
TomTech, yes, it is very hard to try to replicate a setup if you are missing
various important details.


Forest: Generators are earth grounded for safety reasons.
I can't say for certain why Kapanadze and others with similar setups needed to earth ground their devices,
but my understanding is that earth ground is needed on those devices for them to function well, not
for safety reasons.

Hi Urfa and other Guys,
For me as a "beginner",... coil windings and resonance frequenties etc. are they also predictable or is it something unknown?

Hi apcore
In general it is almost predictable. In theory, length of wire correspond to a certain wavelength which in turn correspond to a certain frequency. In practice, the capacitance of the cable which mainly is  inter-turn capacitance affect the final frequency to a small or high degree depend on the coil form.

Kapanadze grounding:  On the morning of the aquarium2 demo there was a thunderstorm. Kapanadze said it was too dangerous to do the demo.
When the thunderstorm abated he let the team see the device running. The earth was temporarily disconnected and the device still worked.
I asked Kapa on another occasion if his device worked without an earth ground. He said it would need a separate circuit. When I pressed him
further he said it could be replaced by a wire to the negative of a car battery.

If you think about it - operating a device outputting 2 kw at hundreds of vaults is verging on suicide without a ground of some sort.
- Especially if in the event of a short the only path to ground is YOU.

Hi a.King21. Thanks for the comment on Kapanadze.
If there is a lightning storm in the area and you have an earth ground wire going to a device,
if there is a very close by lightning strike then you could potentially get a high voltage surge go up through
the earth ground wire into the device, which could potentially damage electronics in the device. This is the same
for any electronic device however, although Kapanadze's devices could be particularly vulnerable to this
sort of thing. A very nearby lightning strike can potentially damage any electronic equipment that is plugged
into the mains or which has an earth ground connection.

In some of Kapanadze's videos (and videos of some others who showed similar types of devices) it was
demonstrated that the earth ground wire has a AC current flowing on it when the device is operating. That
of course wouldn't be the case if the earth ground wire was just there for safety reasons. This being
the case, it would appear unlikely to me that the earth ground wire on Kapanadze's device is just there for
safety reasons.

Some of us have demonstrated that you can light a light bulb, which is powered from a battery powered
tesla coil setup, with one connection side of the light bulb only connected through a wire to earth ground, or even with
one connection side only connected to even a fairly short wire. However, I have found that even though a light bulb
can still light even if the end of the wire is not connected to earth ground, the light bulb will still light more brightly
when the end of the wire is connected to a good earth ground point. So, as best as I can tell from my own experiments,
the earth ground may not be essential, but performance is improved in that type of arrangement with a decent earth ground connection.
I can't say for certain that this is the reason that Kapanadze type devices are typically earth grounded, and why a current can be
measured on the earth ground wire, but that could be at least part of the reason why the earth ground is needed/used.

I have tried the negative on a garden tractor type battery as a 'ground' in these types of tests, but it did not make
any more difference in my tests than connecting to any larger piece of metal. With Kapanadze's devices, it is certainly possible that there
could be different reasons that he uses earth ground than what I was experimenting with however.

Hi Guyz ,

URFA,
Nice attempt on the Circuit ! teamwork great.
now to have it like this all, now someone needs to try it if they want.
I almost have my parts for me to continue on the device we are working on ( ruslan/akula device )
To see how far could get with the output.

apecore,
it's pridictable yet with the right amount of windings, inductance & capacitance added to it,
will determine it all .

a.king,
Thank you for your insight when visiting Kapanadze aquarium device and info .
this helps alot, it could remind you when you see this new kacher device work right?
especially Kapa's last recording of last year with large tesla coil.

Cheerz~

Hi GeoF,
 I guess your saying that we or URFA don' t know the amount of windings, capacitance etc. and therefore don't know enough for replicating?
If we have,... i want to take a shot on replicating the circuit.

apecore,
yes, there is still some info missing but to be sure that it is a working device is another thing to see .
try it out if you will.. we are all here to experiment with all of our research and see what we can come out with.
If you never saw my channel befor take a look at the experimentations
