Pulsed Direct Current for Light Circuits

at work fine-tuning the new system designed specifically for the task. Previously we were concentrating on a solid-state system, no moving parts, and we had the luxury of time to experiment with that notion while waiting for the patents to come through. Now however it is more important to have the system running at a certain level, so we have reverted to the old method. Once perfected it will not be difficult to produce a solid-state system as the data of what is required and the entire associated variables will be identified mapped and analysed by computer for the purpose. This can’t be done with the existing switching system. The bottom line is we are not prepared at this time to make a guess at when product will or might be available. It can be fairly safely assumed that final design, construction, testing and satisfying regulatory authorities could take

one to two years. It’s a case of wait and see, everything hinges on our completing the prototype to the degree required, after which things will move very quickly. Hopefully the next update will be before Christmas 2003 and not need to be as long winded as this. Thank you for reading this far. We are trying to reply to emails but the numbers are so high it is very difficult. Please bear with us, don’t stop writing; the encouragement and support we get from you is fantastic and very welcome, but please don’t be dismayed should you not receive a personal reply for a long time”.

Theory in brief:

Editor: A short variant of this article was published in the previous issue. A full variant, which we have recently received is given below. We would like to stress once again that it was P.N. Yablochkov, a Russian inventor, who way back in 1877 d e s c r i b e d a m e t h o d o f current amplification by means of introducing an electric spark to a circuit (Patent № 120684, 11.10.1877).

The Gray Circuit can be employed to power a light circuit or a pulse DC motor more efficiently. There are five main principles that make the Gray Circuit uniquely efficient. Understanding these principles can be of great importance to increasing the efficiency of a circuit when designing for light circuits and pulsed DC motors. 1) There is a substantial current gain developed by an electric spark in open air. Gray employed a spark gap in the design of his motor and power supply. This will be explained in the summary of the text, ’The Mechanism of the Electric Spark’ by L. Loeb and J. Meek. 2) A load circuit can be electrostatically coupled to the primary circuit by employing
