diode concept on Gray Tube
Each diode will have it's own rating on how much reverse is needed to cause it shut and also each will have its own rating on how fast is closes. I don't think closing speed will be much of an issue. Bedini just shows a 5kv diode, which I'm guessing is what Gray moved to after using a triode as a diode.
But the turning off happens in two ways. The diode shutting off plus the commutator disconnecting to physically remove it from the circuit.
The voltage is separated from the current in the tube but I believe this is a different issue from splitting the positive. That would be an effect of splitting the positive on the dual-path method but - splitting the positive this way is the way to get them to separate. I don't see this happening on a single path way.
Also, I don't believe Gray knew all the details on how it worked. He understood the basic concepts. I can't say more on this right now but it will all come out probably in the near future. It will surprise a lot of people.
Gray's patent only shows grids covering HV rod. Bedini's notes showed covering the whole thing. Bedini is one of the most astute observers and sagacious thinkers I've ever met in my life. I believe the actual tubes Gray was using were exactly like his notes depicted. I do not believe he overlooked anything on his analysis multiple times visiting Gray. I believe that when he analyzed the circuits, tubes, motors, etc... that he probably understood how it worked more than Gray. That is only my opinion but based on knowing him for about 9 years.
There is one thing I have a hard time believing is that Bedini shows electrons moving from rods out to grids. I don't know if that is just because of some interesting model back then or if that is what Gray told him.
There have been some ideas about electron cascade in the tube freeing electrons through ionization collision to add to the circuit, but what is the point of adding electrons to a cold circuit? Also, electrons moving from rods to grids is showing that negatively charged electrons are moving towards the ground. If there is any electron movement at all, it would all be moving towards the HV rod to the highest positive potential.
Besides all of this, when the HV moves into a diode that slams shut, that effect will cause the HV cap to discharge FASTER than normal. This has been proven in the water sparkplug thread. Lee showed the speeding up of discharge because of the HV hitting a diode like this.
This is impulse technology anyway and that just makes the discharge more abrupt meaning...how can electron current even start moving to begin with? I don't believe it really does or is so small it is insignificant.
I'll repost this post in the Gray Tube Replication thread. I'll also post a small simple test anyone can do to show the diode effect to themselves and everyone will probably already have the basic parts to do it.
