What happened to your input draw?

Has dropped significantly at the first place from 2.2A to 1.4A. But when I play with the Kacher's 10K potentiometer to tune the shape and hight of the wave  (checked on Kachers collector)  I can go as high as around 3.5A.  There is a sweet spot on my Kacher - I tune it to draw around 1.6A - .From this point the output wave doesn't grows much but the draw grows significantly.
Still, the tuning to the ground it is the pain in a ass.
Also  I got a second thought  - even if the toroid is the right and Tesla way , the wire antenna offers me simple fine frequency tunning by changing its pitch. So I will possibly switch back

  John.K1:
  Akula also built some higher output self runners that used the Tesla type of capacitor on top, made of the big aluminum flex tubing. But, remember that this type of radiator coil/receiver set up can have an influence in your home electronics, as well.
  This is what I mean,  Akula video:

  EDIT:
  I had thought previously that half wave DC pulses needed to be superimposed on the Induction coils's AC current pulses.   But now, it looks like the HV Kacher's output, is providing for the negative DC impulses?, to heterodyne with the rectified magnetic induction, on  the induction coils.
So, maybe I had it wrong previously, and now I see the actual way that it's working.  Yes? No?

  AlienGrey:
  Is the Kacher giving off DC then, or AC?  Or both? Is it half wave DC, or, ?
 I guess that I'm still confused...

  Here's an earlier video by Lidmotor showing his Exciter using the exact same transistor that I'm using, (which I still can't get to work), TIP3055, same as my MJE3055.
He also mentions that the 2n3055 did not work, as I also found out.
  Notice his Exciter's primary coil, (pancake style windings). To focus the energy only at best spot on the secondary coil, thus producing higher output with less losses.

I suggest you make the Blue coil wound on the Ferrite core to be at least 3 turns on each side, better to be at least one turn or no Ferrite core for more Voltage and Frequency... Just some suggestion.

Guys, I think forget about that Ruslans antenna. We really should follow Tesla's way. Huge difference. With this torrid anntena my frequency jumped up by couple hundreds KHz and the field around is more intense.

I found my OU measurement 'error'
I later replaced the 10ohm resistor with a 1k resistor, and was still getting the same voltage...
futher once I connected the probe, I could disconnect the ground from the resistor and the output would still function... so measuring across a current sense resistor of high ohm can lie... but then unless the resistor is less than the wire the scope probe is made of it won't help... maybe if it were carrying more than the 400uA I can get it to be... found a current meter I could put inline later.

Whats up guys, did you give up on this device??  

Just to cheer you up a bit, I spot on the Russian forum Ruslan is going to Litva to some other guy to present his device.

Remember I was speaking about the inventor Alex Romanov? The Friend of Ruslan's.  He has very interesting video showing two Teslas -one Emmiter- on Reciever and he shows the increase in power.  Not much, but with respect to the small size he has made its input is 0.5w and output 0.64w. All this can be scaled up.

I am now putting more wire back to my Kacher. I decided to tune it to 628KHz. That'st he frequency I checked with the scope, giving me a most best result.  Now tell me if I did something wrong:   I used de-coupling capacitor 1pf so -how much is there LC effect than??  And to be honest I do not believe in "perfect" wave resonance. It is still the propagation of wave with respect to the environment.  The wave is somehow distorted or influenced by other properties of the medium.

Also I wanted to ask: Ruslan shows in his hand drawn schematic 1/3 (third harmonic) Kacher   What that mean?? Harmonic to what?   Just wondering as that 628KHz I measured by scope is 1/3 of calculated 1/4 wave frequency.

Nice results d3x0r!

Today I used my grenade to load some caps for fun to see what happens. Unexpectedly, my 3uF cap was charged up to 230V in no time. To do this, I short-circuited my inductor line and then I connected it to ground, with nothing else connected to inductor (like yoke 3T secondary). Ruslan seems to managed it again. But, somehow he has a stronger katcher output. This is where we have to give our attention. These days i am going to test katcher with two secondaries in a Hubbard style arrangement. I believe that it will raise voltage without affecting frequency. Will see..

I've been considering this 1/3 frequency thing... it's like this...


3x is a pretty harmonic... if it's layered on 1x of itself, then it gets higher peeks... although it can misalign and have dips at the maximums... but then it gets 2 maxes close together...   I picked this up on my grenade today... using a strip of aluminum tape doubled back on itself... but wrapped around about the width of the windings... and was able to detect a 3x harmonic from the long/shallow end of the coil... and it shifts through resonance at various points being good or bad with the other harmonics...


The frequency is low enough I'm sure it's not because of the scope capacitance... and that it's conincident with the power output ... but it is only 200mV deviations... which are very noisy...


but... in theory you can drive at a 3x frequency and also construct the lower frequency...


Kinda depends if your kacher is actually impulses.....


I made a video showing the waves (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVdjtD7DhBk )




was also able to drive it at 1/2 the frequency with a impulse at 25% duty cycle...


-----------
typically I've found if I find a resonance for something using a square wave, I could also use a sine wave and a slightly different frequency and have similar output.  This is very dissimilar output... impulses are totally the key in this scenario... edges... the edges have to be spaced apart ....  using impulses the quick up/down doesn't allow the current to build at all... and anything that went up was quickly brought back down...
 
(like this minor thread... http://www.overunity.com/15105/simple-voltage-boost/#.VHJOQPnF9t4  sim pic below) does not work with sine wave... if the inductance is too high before the capacitor, the current doesn't rise fast enough to cause good voltage...
the self-opposing kapagen is similar... the cross-wires are (probably) actually capacitive points... and might tune inter-coil mismatches with capacitance inbetween... might be a hypothesis...


I'm not sure why the scope-cap at one end of the foil winding is charged differently than the one on the other end....
----
Re the sim; the voltage boost thing (not power/energy ...sacrifices amps)... I later made a more complex one with resonant tanks nearby... when enabled...t hose also cause inteferance that cause 3x harmonics.... (maybe 2x... but 2x shifted 90 degrees is almost 3x)
