Hi RadiantEnRg,

Wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your enthusiastic posts.

I've attached a schematic of your rev-ing up motor test and would like to know if this is correct?

Is the polarity of the power supply or motor important?

Does the bead itself conduct enough electricity to start a spark, or do you have to start the spark by touching metal to metal and then move the arc over the bead?  Does the bead during the test get hot enough to remelt and become liquid again - or does it stay a glass pellet?

Is the arc actually inside the pyroglass bead?  Does its color during the arcing tell you anything?

Regards, Earl

Hi Earl,
many thanks for the drawing.

I guess he still used also  in series with the motor the primary of his transformer
sometimes, if I am not wrong ??

Hi RandiantNRG, could you please us more ?
Thanks.

having no success and getting a little frustrated (maybe this just takes a loooooooooooooong time) I decided to cheat and see if I could make a bead with just fire, well it worked, so at least im not barking up the wrong tree.

I am going to try a different method and see what happens

I am going to take some fine copper dust, mix it with the silica, and create a bead over a flame.
To get the same effect, I plan to create the bead on sharp rod connected to the tazer, and have the other output of the tazer directly across from the first, without arching, this should align the molecules with the field while the bead is crystalizing from the cool down process. should be interesting. ill let you all know how it goes.

Ok...there seems to be a lil confusion as to what actually makes the beads. The diagram Earl showed is correct....however thats just how to use the bead not make it. (And yes Earl it starts up instantly...and will melt the bead until the motor commutator takes over as resonant spark gap).

This is what is crucial to making it....VERY sharp off pulses...the power supplies that worked did this....  /|/|/|/|/|/|/|/|....slower rise time....almost instant off time....this makes a VERY STRONG BEMF...after all faster the delta time (change time) the higher V you get....I would say just make a 555 pulse circuit that operates an optoisolator...which in turns triggers a MOSFET pulsing 30v...in all my test 30v is good. The mechanical switch I made in my "Odd" youtube video is getting the arc...it's all about the BEMF,,,,input=30v....BEMF=1000's of V...theoretically infinate if instantaneous can be achieved

SO just to be clear....no pulse charging of a cap is needed.....all you need is a coil...the collapsing field is what makes the ARC.....The ADP series power supplies work like this...the use rectified 120VAC to charge a large capacitor....then use that capacitor and step i down through a xformer....which then charges a smaller cap....that smaller cap is pulsed by a transistor which is triggered from a sensing coil on the xformer....Once I coax out the initial arc....there is a trail of ionized gas which conducts the following on pulse...which then is shut off and another HUGE arc pulses back...ect

Actually I think you misunderstand what I first did before the stun gun. I was "pulse charging" the cap to get a large energy buildup, im sure you all know amperage being a a function of time means that a discharge over a short period of time equals extreemly high amperage.....like in a point contact welder. 
but I did have a large coil hooked up to it.........my electromagnetic can crusher,.. but still the pulses are quite short, ill try something else though.

Hi Earl,
thanks for drawing this up.

I think he used method B
to make his glass beads.

I wonder, if this also workswith just for instance
3 big 12 Volts batteries in series.

Should do.
Probably the sawtooth waveform is only coming up,
cause the arc is almost a shortout to the power supply
and that way he is loading the power supply too much,
so he sees the ripple, which normally loads up the end capacitor
in the power supply.

The more inductance and lower resistance the choke coil
has in front of the arc,the better it will work.

Back when I experimented with my Newman coil with a series stack
of 9 Volt batteries giving me 2000 Volts and the circuit B , I could
draw an arc of about 2 or 3 cm ( about 1 inch), before the arc stopped,
when I pulled the croco clips more far away.

With lower voltage is also work for instance with a transformer primary
coil, but then the arcing dinstance is less.

oh I see what you are doing with the MOSFFET, never mind what I said
