This experiment is what I think give proof that spark gap is a high frequency switch.
YouTube - Spark gap as radiant switch
I connect a coil (modem adaptor transformer) in parallel with neon and diode. I connect it to the output of my radiant oscillator.
The result:
- neon will glow dim if only one wire connected
- neon will not light up if both wire fully connected
- neon will glow rather bright if one wire fully connected and other wire connected in spark gap way.
- using the spark gap only one side of the neon electrode light up.
Conclusion:
- spark gap work as switch?
The neon bulb will not light up again after few minutes and need to be rested before it give proper indication again.
I think similar way can also be applied in a spark gap powered by capacitor where the coil is placed between the capacitor and the spark gap. There should be electricity generated by the coil after the spark happen, which can be utilized with diode and load.
anyone has other opinion?
