Don't dox me for the love of god please, I have children and I'm just a passionate hobbyist
I made claims. You want the proof, I've got the proof, here's the oscilloscope readings to prove it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNyyG1ECN2Q&t=195s
That machine currently makes 50 KV sparks.
That machine is pushing milli-amps of current to make those voltages on that resistor. that means that the machine can push that current at 50 KV.
To make a 1 volt drop over a 1 kilo-ohm resistor requires the transfer of 1 milli-amp of current. As you can see in the video: much more than that is made.
If the voltage is drop is 2.5 volts, then the current through the resistor is 2.5 milliamps.
The machine can deliver that at 50,000 volts 50,000 volts * 0.0025 amps = 125 watts
When the machine is perfected, it will make 208 KV and the sparks will have to cross the bars instead of shorting through the insulation.
That drill spins at up to 2700 rpm, it's running on 120 volt, it uses a maximum of 4.6 amps of current. So that drill, at it's maximum output power uses 552 watts. That drill is not being pushed that hard to make what I am already making, I have a 60 watts pump motor that does this just fine other than the fact I need to buy a speed controller so that I don't rip my fittings apart on startup and so that I can stop it from spinning at max speed.
I can't even go over 1200 RPM yet because of balancing issues...
Now obviously, that output is going to need to be rectified and conditioned, but there it is.
It's not even working right yet and the max output is already reaching overunity levels.
Electrostatic machines give you current, they don't supply voltage, they supply current, they will increase the output voltage until something short out internally or until the current being pushed out of the generator matches the current being produced by the generator.
I can run those same outputs with a 2.4 cm spark gap with a humidity level of 38%, which means I get a breakdown voltage somewhere in the viscinity of 20 KV/cm and I am rounding that to 50 KV.
It still produces the same current level, but it produces it at 50,000 kilovolts in order to cross the spark gap.
So that means that I can provide that current at 50 KV.
If I put a 1 kohm load, then I will produce pathetic power.
If I store the power in a capacitor, force the machine the reach it's maximum output voltage and then draw of the power as pulse DC provided at that voltage, then I produce 125W.
So please do a video showing a 125 Watt element glowing. (A resistive element doesn't need DC so your weird pulses will do just fine.)
All in time, I'm still trying to improve my insulation so I get my design voltage of 208 KV.
Then I need to make a rectifiying circuit with some high frequency diodes and get high voltage transistors and make the voltage sentitive timing circuit to fire the transistors to draw off the power and all of that will need to be sealed in epoxy.
I'm not even done making the generator yet lol
