Ok, microwave ovens sound like veritable treasure troves of
useful parts.
Are you saying the charge would be dissipated due to resistive
losses in any kind of circuit? I would think it would be stored
in the magnetic field of an inductor or a charge in a capacitor.
But, I guess these "storage" mechanisms will also dissipate due
to field collapse/leakage before too long.
Seems like a real switch (mosfet, maybe? would it withstand
the high voltage?) would be more efficient than a spark gap.
What do you think?
I assume a buck-boost circuit is able to convert high volts/low amps
to low volts/higher amps. I am still a bit confused about how this
works, though: there are only a limited number of coulombs per second
flowing into the input. Where do the other electrons come from?
