Hey guys how is the progress..

Can someone understand at this above famous generator with 494 and ir2110 ic's, why these two diode zeners facing each other at gates side are rating at 6.2v? This rating will open the gate up to 6.9volts and the mosfets will not fully open. Is there any technical reason for doing this? By opening the gate at no more than 6.9volts we introduce a high Rds (on) resistance and we limit significantly the current at DS junction. Is there any particular reason?

  Jeg, MenofFather, and All:
   I was wondering the same thing, concerning the two 6.2v zeners, instead of the 18v 5w ones.
   I'm thinking of either replicating Ruslan's mosfet circuit, instead of making a new Mazilli crt. As I've managed to burn out my two IRFP260P fets on my Mazilli crt, by placing the wrong (crossover) diodes in place of the normal crossover diodes. Each crt diagram is showing a different value to these two diodes, also.
   But, I would think that as Ruslan is using the circuit that I just re-posted previously, and has a self runner, it might be worth the effort to replicate his crt as close as possible. As it is much simpler than the one that Akula uses for his second self runner video device, (1150w).
  MenofFather had mentioned that Ruslan's circuit does not use or need a duty cycle modulator, but the schematic is showing both a duty cycle, as well as a frequency controler. His schematic is also not showing a secondary coil on the yoke, besides the 3-4 turn thick wire secondary coil. Yet, it is shown in his video. So, I don't know what up with that, as well. 
 
   I will first rebuild my Mazilli using all new components and mount the fets on big heat sinks with fans, and possibly maybe later try to make the Ruslan fet circuit, but without using the modulator controller, for now. I just want to see what Ruslan's crt can do (without the modulator controller), as compared to what the Mazilli can do.

  I've bought a brand new 12v, 7aH battery, so I hope that it might make Hoppy happy to see that change. As my older 4aH battery has now blotted out, although it still works.
  I've also finished making the HV pulser circuit for the kacher part of my Akula replication crt. And, I'm almost done with making the Kapandze/Akula/Ruslan air core set up, just need to add a few more turns to the output coil, as I've bought more wire for it now. Progress has been slow, but steady. I've been studying the different self running circuits, as well.
  I really really wish that Geofusion would get over his frustration with us, and get back on the team... I for one, would appreciate it, and am still patiently waiting for his self runner videos, that he promised to post. 
REMEMBER, Geo???
   
  MenofFather:  The purpose of the 18v 5w zener diodes (Mazilli) is to be able to run the crt at voltages higher than just at 12v. Such as 24v to 36v, without burning the Fets. But, that may not be the case if using only the 6.2v zeners while running the crt at higher voltages, without the duty cycle controller.  What do you think?
  When you say that you don't have OU, does that mean that your device did not self run?
  I just noticed your last post, as will look at your videos.
                                                                            Thanks,
                                                                                          NickZ
 
  P.S  I'm still very much into continuing with these mentioned devices, so any help is always welcome.

  Good to hear that you are still at it, also.
 
   I watched the videos that MenofFather just upload the links to.
First thing that I notice is that the windings on the yoke are not the same, that is,
5 or 6 turn (or so) on each side of the center tap of the primary coil. Then 20 or so turns on the yoke secondary coil. And 3 turns on the yoke's second secondary coil,
at least of what I can see of them.
  The yoke is the most important part of the circuit, in order to get several 100 watt bulbs lit brightly. And the relation of the yoke coils to the air coils is also very important.  Looks like you are not using a resonator coil (12 + 12 turns) mounted on top of the 48, 48,  24,24, 12,12 turns air coil. Which is what is giving this output coil its magnetic induction.  I would suggest using the same coil winding pattern as is being used by Kapanadze/Akula/Ruslan. I also don't see a Kacher circuit giving the HV pulses to the air coils output coil.  But, as I can't understand what is being said in the video, I'm sure I've missed some things.
  MenofFather, please hold the camera steady, use proper lighting, and speak louder, so that at least some of us can see and understand what is being shown.
  Thanks for showing us your work.

Nick,
" When you say that you don't have OU, does that mean that your device did not self run?"
Yes. But did you can not answer this question to youself? Ниужели так, неужели ещё ндо задавать вопрос дополнительный, если я написал ,что сверхединицы не получил?

Use 12-18 volts zeners or not use them. I not using them and my generator on TL with mosfets work wery long. Выброси эти стабилитроны, я их не использую для низкочастотной накачки и акуратно пользуясь ничего не будет гореть, стабилитроны только нагромозждают вид и не красиво выглядет и больше где-то ошибиться их прикрепляя, а так они всё равно не спасали от згорания транзисторах у меня, может редко спасали, не помешает, но не надо на их много надежд вкладывать, что от этого не будут гореть транзисторы.

Divice with kacher is here https://archive.org/details/MVI2492
I made many times divice with kacher and with pulse and every time I not get more out than in.
"5 or 6 turn (or so)"
Is 10 turns or so.
"48, 48,  24,24, 12,12"
Is 56, 56, 28, 28, 14, 14 - something like this.

Did you manage to self oscillate your secondary with your katcher while in tension? What is the voltage output of your nanogen and of your catcher ?

"Did you manage to self oscillate your secondary with your katcher while in tension?"
I try run low frenquency with kacher. Turning on kacher lamp output shine little brighter, but here is only kacher energy plus low frenquency energy.
Sometimes kacher stop working, then I turning on pumping low frenquency.

In my divice is no any parallel capasitor. Only in Dally divice.
