Gray Tube

Dom, thanks for bringing up the Gray Tube.

It's a single fire event per cycle so isn't a high frequency device. The only thing that is at high frequency was the power supply giving 5000 spikes per second at about 5000 volts to the capacitor on the HV rod. The LV rod triggers the discharge of that as needed according to when the magnets needed to be fired to run the motor - is the triac or whatever tube you want there acting as a triggerable diode.

I believe the bang bang bang pop you're talking about was from the lab demo where he was looking into his propulsion stuff and from what we know, he was using very conventional ignatrons for that and not his claimed overunity motor technology. Mark McKay would know better, but I'm pretty sure that was just ignatrons - all conventional. The motor circuits when running sounded like a popcorn machine with each cap discharge like this: Murakami-Gray 3 Point - YouTube but more clean and louder from much bigger discharges.

Few more: Plasma with AND without Inductor - YouTube and Murakami-Gray 3 Point Plasma outside of tube - YouTube

The best eye witness we have today that actually examined the working overunity motor of Ed Gray is John Bedini and the direction he put the diode on the low voltage rod is very important - it isn't how Gray showed. There are a few bogus things in Gray's patent including the connections of the overshoot gap at the bottom left, that triode direction, etc...

Thanks aaron for the reply
at the moment i am building an exact replica of the tube glass tube with carbon rod and all I have even silver tipped the gap
I am working on the grid now i will test my theory and see what i come up with the only way to know is to try it.
I have done some work building inverter circuits when you get above 10khz or so the power that comes out the transformer behaves very differently from normal ac even at low voltages of about 300v will be interesting to see what the tube does.
