Capacitors in Series
Capacitors in Series:
Interesting to note after the comment of 'smoking', I went and did some reading on the subject at hand as I thought I may have missed something.
The ARRL book of reference I am using is a 1964 version and on Page 229, covers the subject of 'Ratings of Filter Components' and will appear in any of the Editions under 'Power Supplies' and 'Filters'.
Mentions here to add a series resistance of 100 Kohm around each of the resistances in the string to act as the bleeder resistor.
But that is where the dialogue finishes and it is there really only as a safety precaution to ensure the capacitor bleeds off any contained voltage capacity and only AFTER the unit is switched OFF.
So what is it doing while the circuit is in operation and is that why I make mention of something unusual appearing while the device is working as I don't have them fitted?
I should add to this phenomena that my oil-filled electrolytics - 8uF at 4Kv and normally have 3 in series or parallel - after being charged and impulse discharged so that no capacity remains, will over a period regain some of the lost voltage and continually for some time after repeated discharges.
What I feel is happening here is that the oil is also becoming an active component of the storage ability of the device and that is where the latent energy is coming from.
What goads me on here is the device presented by the 'Creative Science & Research' people with their cans rotating in oil producing heat and Robert Hull and his device mentioning that oil will change its characteristics if left out in the Sun for a period before being used in a race car (that wins all the time) so then, what is it that is happening here, perhaps it may be that the oil is an Aetheric collector and I now come back to my Ceramics in series without a bleeder resistor and can see the same phenomena occurring.
Is this then the reason why we see so many Vacuum Tubes for high power and frequency in transmitters using Ceramics around the working cavity and something there that we don't know about?
May be that is why I have many of these as they are here more as a curiosity than to be used in a working device and then we have Silver also being used in their construction - we know very little or much is being hidden from our knowledge.
They say it is there for heat transfer but what else?
What happened to the Ceramic ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) being built in Japan - it managed to run by itself without fuel - just guessing?
Attempted a power up of the ''Tesla Transformer Pulse Generator' into a Dummy Load used before hooking up to the 'Crystal Set Initiative' and find I have, again, failed to consider the requirements of the 5R4GYB at 750 mA each diode - kicking myself.
You know you have it all wrong when you are dumping in 100 volts and all you see out is some 40 odd, VA is the problem.
Have an old USA Esterline Angus 'Potential Transformer' here that has 2 x 200VA (est) transformers - put in 240 or 480 volts and you get 120 volts out to power the Chart Recorder - put the two transformers in series and reversed and I think I have an answer.
2x 480 volts gives me 960 vAC and 1357 vDC after rectification - looks good and the primary insulation resistance should not be compromised by being in series and a choice of using the 2 x 240 v output instead for half the previous volts (679 voltsDC) - perfect!
These are the things you buy on Ebay that go to the dump if not sold.
This is a problem area today when using high voltage for vintage Tubes as these transformers are simply not being made and cost a truckload if bought new.
Now can you see why Eric Dollard bought an old AM Transmitter for his power requirements for use with his 'Cosmic Induction Generator' which I hope we will hear about as it is being constructed.
If anyone can add to the phenomena above about Aetheric capacitors please do so as it is a part of my background research.
Thanks.
