If this style seems progressive to someone, then my opinion based on your postings is this:
- completely offtopic. No information regarding Kapanadze's devices or Wesley's research.
If I started dragging info scam from the Internet into all topics, the forum would be torn to pieces.
We are not enough old to descend to the level of conversation between two senior in a pub.

Hello Wesley!

Thank you for writing messages relevant to the topic.

Regarding capacitor discharges in water.
This direction was discussed on free energy forums. In the ex-USSR environment this is called the “Yutkin Effect”.
https://habr-com.translate.goog/ru/companies/ruvds/articles/556530/?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en

Here is Yutkin's .pdf book  about various types and technologies of discharge in water, you can download the file and translate it via Google Translator as a "Document":

About Dr Jaynes video of capacitor discharge 

From the video it is clear that Dr Jaynes uses a 2400 microfarad capacitor, charged to a voltage of 330 volts. Using the formula for calculating the energy of a capacitor, we obtain a discharge energy of 130 Joules. This is quite a lot of capacitor energy.

As a child, I played with capacitors, discharging them with a screwdriver. I can tell you with 100% confidence that if you discharge such a 2400 microfarad 330 volt capacitor with a screwdriver, there will be a very loud sound and a lot of sparks. The sound will be so loud that you may go deaf for a while.
And all this WITHOUT WATER!

The mistake of Dr Jaynes is that it was necessary to make video about discharge of the same capacitor, charged to the same voltage, with the same electrodes, but without water. Just short-circuit the electrodes with a piece of metal. I'm sure the effect would be the same. However, you can search for discharges of capacitors similar in voltage and capacitance on YouTube or experiment yourself, observing safety precautions. After several such discharges, the capacitor will probably become unusable. Internal connections may melt and break.
For example, here you can see a discharge capacitor with 2 times less capacity and unknown voltage charged:

It is the basic rule. If you have obtained some interesting effect and explained it theoretically, then remove the main element and repeat the experiment. If the effect remains the same, your theoretical explanation has been proven wrong.

My conclusion: - Simple capacitor discharges in water are unlikely to be a source of free energy. But:

1. Similar discharge can be used as a tool for creating high pulse pressure for other areas of searching for free energy. This is something I thought about earlier. The problem is that the capacitor discharge needs to be serialized somehow. Significant energy consumption.

2. You can use a capacitor discharge in a nanostructured substance. To make it clear, for example, a discharge in wet wood or even in a cucumber or melon. Funny. But, cellular tissue consists of many ultrathin membranes. With a sharp short pulse of current, an ion shock occurs on these membranes. Anything can happen here. According to rumors, LENR was expected. Short powerful pulses are needed, with enough energy to balance at a level sufficient for LENR but not enough to burn the membranes.
Expected form of free energy:
- low-temperature thermal energy, up to +40 degrees Celsius. If you try to get a higher temperature, the membranes may cook and become unusable.
- low-voltage current pulses, much longer than discharge pulses.

Sergh thank you very much - fascinating subject.
I do thank you for  your contributing material.
If you  have the original link to Dr Yutkin  translation you posted I'll be happy to read it.
Please post it . Russian language is no problem for me any longer.

The audience here  doesn't yet see the importance and  value of it, I think.
On the other hand some application of it  may not be suitable to be publicly  discussed, unless we switch
into a very much technicality of it.

Here is the example of  format of technicality comfortable to be used in this forum:
It was increasingly thrilling to look at DUT behavior  similar to that  presented in video, but its culmination was
looking at the same DUT from the distance of ~5 km with use of  "A to B."
No significant losses were  noticed, even  more - we were  under impression  that something is amplifying the effect.
We didn't  have time to try it in Costa Rica., but  I ordered it to be tried in Baltic sea .
They couldn't  conform  if there  was  "amplification" but I was told that  for an eye it look shockingly unexplained.
At land  there were cameras and  watching the load (DUT) technician, but effect at sea is many times stronger or just look stronger
many times. Salinity  of the water helps "A to B"  over distance but  The  same DUT at sea simply vaporized.
The first test  was provided along the coast line  Gdansk, Gdynia, Orlowo in Trojmiasto - this was easy :
Test A -  coast to coast over curvature. No  deep water, relatively  quiet surface between "A to B" distance more than 5km in line of sight
              ( not to many people walking on the sand )
Test B-   the second test was   coast to sea - actually not  exactly like that - there is curved coast line  but DUT was at sea.
   That is one of the reasons I  become interested with Salt Lake City:- easiness of  any tests.

 Russia or  Uzbekistan ( the most perfect  test site) is not accessible to  me for obvious reasons.

Basis we can discuss freely in the article many of you missed to read.
I repeat it again:
http://www.tuks.nl/pdf/Reference_Material/Electrolysis_Water_Arc_and_Dielectric_Breakdown/Graneau%20-Reference_Material/Electrolysis_Water_Arc_and_Dielectric_Breakdown/Graneau
Let me know it it doesn't open for you.

You do not need to be physicist to read:

Twin City Mining Research Center noticed that the energy output was apparently 156% of the input.

This translates to  simple enough for an average reader analogy
$100 in every 0.01s turns into $156
- loss= +56 per 0.01s
But that was only preliminary reading scientists didn't have explanation of.
There is much much more in the article.

Wesley, thank you for reminding about the link:
N. Graneau "THE ANOMALOUS STRENGTH OF COLD FOG EXPLOSIONS CAUSED BY HIGH CURRENT WATER ARCS"
This direction was previously interesting. But during the experiments there were no noticeable successes.

Okay, comments to this article:

Not until the mid-1980s was the scientific basis of the puzzling explosions more extensively researched.
At MIT [6,7]. It was shown that the discharge of 3.6 kJ of stored capacitor energy would create pressures in excess of 20,000 atm. in 7 ml of water. 3.6 gm of water was ejected from an accelerator barrel at a velocity of the order of 1000 m/s, sufficient to penetrate a 1/4" thick aluminium plate [8].

A lot of energy was used. The result is not impressive. A bullet from a Kalashnikov assault rifle with approximately the same shot energy pierces through a railway rail. But it's 1/2 inch steel, not 1/4" aluminum..

If an electric arc is formed in the discharge gap from a high current, the magnetic field will push this arc out of the discharge gap. Such an arc can extend to the side by several centimeters. The same principle as a railgun,

 but instead of rails and a projectile, an arc plasma conductor is used. If this plasma arc tongue touches any metal surface, the entire arc current will flow through that metal. Thus, this plasma tongue can lick the foil to holes if it reaches it.

Theoretical Understanding
The most likely explanation of the fog explosions is that they are caused by the liberation of intermolecular bonding energy when the bulk water is transformed into tiny fog droplets. This bonding is caused both by hydrogen bonds and Van der Waals forces, and the energy stored by the bonds is roughly equal to the latent heat of the water,
and is found to be 2.3 kJ/gm at room temperature. The creation of a large number of droplets is thought to be caused by the mechanical effects of the electrodynamic forces in the arc discharge. A certain amount of mechanical energy is thus used to create the droplets and is consequently stored as surface tension energy.

- So far this is just energy consumption.

However the molecules in the small droplets now have significantly fewer neighbours than in the bulk water and can thus reorientate themselves more easily into lower energy states. These lower energies imply that the bonds become stronger. This bond redistribution behaviour is normally observed in thin films of water called vicinal water. Recent results of inelastic incoherent neutron scattering (DNS) experiments in water and ice [10] have revealed the existence of two strengths of hydrogen bond. In water they are found to have bonding vibrational force constants of 24 and 32 meV, and are referred to as the weak and strong bonds respectively.

- It's better here. Graneau suggests that water in the form of very small drops becomes “more dense” and because of this energy is released. If you grind water, then in a microscopic drop the water will go into a more dense form and because of this energy will be released.
But.. There are such devices, ultrasonic humidifiers, or water atomizers. The piezoceramic plate oscillates with a frequency of 1 - 2 Megahertz. These high-frequency vibrations are transmitted to the water and because of this, very small droplets of water break off from the surface of the water in the form of mist. You are probably familiar with such devices. Cold “steam” and fog come out of them.
But for some reason, no additional energy is obtained from the “compacted water” in them, all parts are relatively cold, nothing unusual happens.

If in die newly formed droplet, some of the weak bonds drop to the strong bond energy in a quantum shift, there will be a consequent release of kinetic energy causing the vicinal droplets to repel each other, resulting in the observed explosion.

Somehow doubtful. Some kind of chain reaction. Drops in which the water has not passed into a more dense form must therefore pass into a more dense form of water and also release energy. "Quantum Shift". In lasers, when electrons move between energy levels, coherent energy is released in the form of photons. And here in the form of what? In the form of vibration of drops.? Sound laser powered by water drops...

After the explosion, in order to restore the droplets to their normal bulk state, some energy input must be required, and in our case this must come from atmospheric heat. This process can occur away from the explosion region and over a much longer time. Therefore the explosion is conjectured to be a sudden release of energy from the water that was initially stored by atmospheric heating, and is later restored into the water after the explosion also by atmospheric heat, while in the meantime the net gain in kinetic energy can be harnessed for useful means.

This means that the reacted water becomes unsuitable for reuse. Water needs some time to recover, to break the tight hydrogen bonds under the influence of the heat of solar radiation. But then why can't these tight bonds break during the discharge, which creates massive collisions of water, which is the same heat? There is an inconsistency in the author's reasoning. Illogical, makes me doubt it.

Regardless of the correctness of Graneau's theoretical justification, this is interesting. Wesley, do you remember I gave a link to the American inventors of the water motor? Where a thin stream of water from a nozzle under very high pressure of about 1000 atmospheres was broken against a specially shaped barrier? Because of this, the water became very hot and evaporated. They had a working prototype of the motor on video. I think this motor could use a similar process. Have you tried to contact them?

Let's return to Graneau's article. These are the articles he refers to that I have long wanted to read, but could not find anywhere on the Internet:

Try to do this, nothing will work. Stubborn distilled water does not want to break through from 10 kilovolts.
Yutkin carried several tons of high-voltage capacitors with his device.
