A couple thing I observe during experimentation using Imhotep Radiant Oscillator, lite version with relay without neon without battery first picture:
- Amp can be detected at collapse point using positive probe only
- Voltage can be detected at battery positive using negative probe only
My opinion:
There is radiant energy caused by back EMF which make the collapsing point has more energy, create reverse polarity between collapse point and battery positive. Without alternative path other than current coil to go (which still have stream queue in line for a brief moment), it will radiate to sorrounding. And because of that the point at battery positive will try to compensate by making more negative polarity than sorrounding.
Added coil with lower resistance than the relay coil (1/10 of it), second picture:
- without battery or neon, the relay noticably slowed down, stutter as though it get voltage while switch is not at normally on position. Notice that there is no diode or capasitor in the circuit.
My opinion:
The back EMF by new coil is bigger than back EMF by relay coil. The bigger EMF will force to go trough the relay coil, resulting to relay being activated again and prevent the switch reverting to normally on position. When load is added, the back EMF generated by both coil will prefer to go trough the load if load resistance is lower than relay coil, less back EMF will try to go trough relay coil.
In solid state version, since it is known that diode can not prevent back EMF from propagating, the back EMF will go trough the transistor too, going trough the circuit to make the shortest/fastest close loop. If resistance (or inductance?) is lower at charging part, the back EMF will go trough thr charging part, the opposite is also true.
