(gasp) gapping autonomous spark
Results are finally in! I've got a preliminary setup as shown here -
This is a screen capture of the video I took showing how it works with
a 2100V microwave capacitor connected on the coil charging up to around 750V.
I'll be repositioning the coil-charging electrode further away from the LV side
in hopes that it will magnify the effect. How this is working without the use
of LV-side diodes is not immediately apparent to me...
I've not yet tried sensing the effect with magnets next to the test coil, being that
my 12V battery is decrepidly old and won't hold a voltage for long, so that will be another
thing once it recharges.
