Thanks for the concern. I am aware of the fact that these voltages and
currents are potentially very fatal! Fortunately, the power inverter I am using
is remote controlled - i.e., I can keep my distance when I turn the circuit on,
and the circuit I am operating can exhaust the charge on the storage cap after several cycles. The "current charger" is housed in a container and is not accessible during operation. Unlike PCBs with low voltages which I am
not intimidated to troubleshoot and have done so many times as an engineer, development of this circuit has been very slow because of the dangers involved.
I am trying to reproduce an effect observed by Tesla back in the late 1900s.
This is very interesting science, though I cannot really discuss it on this board as it is possibly considered taboo. I would strongly recommend a couple books
and video. My greatest recommendation is the Book by Gerry Vassilatos called
"Lost Science." Outstanding book. A+++. Can be found at Borderland Sciences -
borderlands.com -- and the chapter relevant to what I am building is on Tesla,
but there are many chapters in this book that will make your jaw drop.
An excellent video from this same website is "Tesla's Longitudinal Electricity"
by Eric Dollard. Also will leave your scratching your head.
And the book which is most relevant to my work is Secrets of Cold Electricity
by Peter Lindemann.
