I dont understand your power supply circuit, are you feeding it pure dc or pulsed?

oh man,

let me add that this is crank!

Take care of you when walking around shoeless and running this setup

And please more of this, never seen a huge ac motor running from only "one"  wire!

And shame on me, i must say that connection of power supply and ground is also not
clear to me 

is the power supply ac or dc pulse, if dc i think it would make me much more confused 
and did you checked your diode, maybe it is damaged ?!?


Added: Ok RadiantEnRg, i looked closer and see ... you really described all needed parts
and now i am confused.

Hello Radiant,

You are taking the negative connection from the 400 elco is that right?
If you connect the other side of the one wire (with a load in between) to ground you have a halve wave mains there so be careful.
If you connect to the positive side of the 400 Volt elco you get only the other halve and just as dangerous.
Please be careful.

(Edit)
It also works on the from mains insulated part of the power supply?
Now I am confused too.

Okay something is getting lost in translation, and I believe it all falls under how you are feeding this ?one wire circuit? I think the easiest way to solve this, is to have a circuit diagram posted. I think a lot of us here are familiar with circuitry, but unless we have a diagram it?s a little hard to picture what is going on without being able to visualize how each component works.

To that effect, what are you feeding your circuit? DC? AC? AC with a DC bias (pulsed DC) If there is any AC component at all in there before it gets to the pyroclay bead, then I don?t see how it can ?find? resonance, because it is limited somewhat by the input frequency.  I had originally thought that you were feeding this circuit with nothing but pure DC, and when you scoped the output at the silica bead you got a dc with an oscillation. Is this correct?

I think what we need, to help you do a little validation here, because I believe you are on to something, is enough information to replicate exactly what you are doing, so we are all looking at the same thing. If you would be so kind as to help us out there, we would all be very appreciative. I do appreciate your participation, and its good to see someone with a  healthy interest joining the community.

Basically, since it is pulsed DC, like you said on every off pulse comes a reverse spike. Which reinforces and builds on it's self. It is also directly proportional to the input...meaning they are inverse...so it is self regulating. every off pulse there is a pulse from the coil, so never any dead time....basically I get 100% work for 50% power

Gotcha, not things make a little more sense. At first I was gonna cry bullshit, but if the motor is in fact tuning to the circuit, then we may be okay, but..............where did you get this motor? is it your design? what about it is imbalanced?

Very interesting. Im looking through my collection now to find such a motor. Unless there is something weird happening with the elements present in the pyroclay, I would guess that the sparkgap created by the contact can be recreated without the silica. in the website I posted earlier, a gentleman takes a sheet of galvanized steel, heats it with a torch, lets it cool. He observes dark spots appear, which when touched with a thin wire, creates an oscillator, but since its a spark gap, its a negative resistance oscillator. The interesting thing is that this dark spot he requires for the experiment, is probably an oxidised superstrate (kinda like a substrate, but on top, don't know if thats a word, but if it isn't I call it) much the same as you believe your bead is doing. I am going to attempt to recreate the other guys experiments until I get my pyroclay.

Sorry for all the questions, but what made you choose pyroclay? I mean silica is the second most abundant material on earth, why this particular website with this particular clay? Do you know much about mono atomic elements or ormus?
