Quote from the paper EX posted up top! Case Fig.2b: the output HV from the coil for the first sees the ground through the attached diodes, since they are “open”, thus starts to flow that path. As soon as the current through the diodes reaches “surge current”, its flow is abruptly disrupted by rapid diode shut down. As the next easiest escape path is spark gap, plasma discharge is initiated. With eyes and photo camera there can be observed a big plasma ball around discharge electrodes, also visible that the wire gets kinetic energy – is swinging afterwards. In addition the sound power is higher – louder, well noticeable by hearing. I can so relate to this. When I did my experiment years ago in a physics laboratory at school, there were two or three students in the lab and the door was opened to the hallway. When I initiated the spark, the flash was so bright and blinding, the wires on the table and the table itself shook, and the boom of the explosion was so loud that everyone thought a bomb went off. My ears were ringing and the other students were down on the floor out of instinct and professors rushed in to see what had happened. The wire had been blown apart about 6 inches and melted at the ends where the gap formed, I estimated they melted back about half an inch. To this day I don't know why this happened, because I had repeated the experiment a few times afterwards and could not duplicate it. Something must have lined up just right for this massive explosive arc to occur. So anyway, I'm glad these guys are exploring these phenomena. I can't say there is no OU, because I don't have proof, but it sure sounded like there was more energy there, in fact I was not the one to suggest it, the professors were. They thought I had a firecracker or some explosive that went off. By the way, I left out a missing part of this strange experiment. I had it set up so I can repel two coils apart, like Edwin Gray suggested. I had a pendulum setup with a meter stick so I can see how far the pendulum with the coil at the end would swing, and calculate the kinetic energy imparted to it. Than I had a recapture circuit so I can reclaim the kickback from the coil. I was doing a quantitative experiment to prove to the professors that Edwin Gray may be right, when this unexpected explosion occurred. And besides, the coil that were hanging from the structure on a pendulum, melted their wires as well, but not any of the other wires, which was very odd. The wires melted inside the coils and broke connection, very puzzling. they also did not swing out but shook inplace. So this must be a type of induction kickback phenomena interacting with a plasma arc, in a way that may not be understood fully. Or maybe it's just a big surge of current occurring in a very short time that does the trick. So yes, I would like to leave this open as a possibility for OU. who know, if the impulse is so strong and the temperature so high, who's to say that fusion or fission might not be happening, or some exothermic chemical reaction occurring, like burning metal oxidizing with the oxygen in the air?
