Hey retrolefty, what existing oscillation are you refering to ?

For more info of plasma management with application on wireless medecine and free energy, please see http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1256402716.

As a reminder, the real plasma secret is to control three parameters in order to make chaos or non-linear or parametric oscillators going beyond classical Maxwell equations of electro-magnetism:
- voltage amplitude of flyback transformer
- pulse length excitation
- frequency of pulse length

N.B. Plasma ball was patented by Nikola Tesla  in late 1800's as one plasma device without electrode wear & dangerous ozone O3 coming from air spark gaps.

P.S. Please be careful with fly-back transformer: very high voltage that can kill, strong Back-EMF so make sure to use isolator (4N25 or best IL610) between arduino pins output and mosfet or IGBT driver.

About science versus pseudo science applied to mysterious plasma behaviour, here is a new video with many electronics tips, theory food for thought on plasma ZPE engineering

Here is a new video with many electronics tips including first time double rail plasma driver fully controlled by arduino mega

Then more theory

so are you suggesting there is unlimited energy available, or that more energy is constantly being introduced?

I'm not suggesting what you just wrote above.

Please take time read first part of this thread http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1256402716/0 or watch my YouTube channel "Scalar waves / Design rules" on http://www.youtube.com/user/selfonlypath

Missing count of all energies is the problem !

It is quite easy to violate incorrect laws of physics

Many electromagnetic lab experiments prove that Mawxell equations are incorrect:
      - Aharonov-Bohm effect
      - Alsthuler-Aronov-Spivak effect
      - Josephon effect
      - Haas-van Alphen effect
      - Sagnac effect
      - ...

Wrong model, wrong conclusions.

Please watch some of my videos (ZPE design) describing how to extract Zero Point Energy via non-linear circuits. Most equations of physics have been linearized but this does not fully describe laws of Nature. If you keep linear model, you automatically get stuck with 2nd law of thermodynamics but non-linear systems or chaos systems or ZPE reactor can violate under certain cases the 2LT.

Here in this thread, Zero Point Energy corresponds to Vacuum Energy

thank you designer2k2 for your nice comment.

I'm discovering digital video filming so i'm not really good in making nice videos so my videos do not render the beauty of eye of the storm plasma.

My YT channel aims to be a tutorial Tabout plasma engineering but also Back-EMF stealing management (coming soon) in the legacy of Nikola Tesla.

Yes France sucks for this... hobbiest can't buy critical electronic components anymore.
I bought them in US from http://fr.digikey.com

Hi Kas,

Thank you for your interest on my channel.

In video #7, I use 4N25 opto-coupler along with IRF840 without any driver between arduino & 4N25 but also not fet driver between 4N25 & IRF840. It is a cheap solution but depending on your application can be a problem where you'll not go high in frequency control or low duty cycle of plasma resonance due to intermodulation.

This is why I worked with my team partners Dan & Raivo to build one of the fastest ZPE driver I know of based on IL610 + MCP1403 + IRF540 or IRF840 that you see runing on video #8. This saves the component count on PCB and makes sure to have extreme pwoer PWM signals driving the coils & transformers which is required to pump ZPE energy. You can also replace MCP1403 by TC4423 or MC34151 which are excellent but a bit slower.

As for logic level mosfet, it will not work & might be even worse than 4N25 + IRF840 due to bandwith consideration.

Now, if your intent is to just make plasma globe for fun, no problem use logic level fet along with isolator but if your intent is to make Zero Point Energy devices, it is based on special oscillator requiring sharp pulsed signals hence no choice than to invest into serious isol-fet drivers.

Amicalement

I suggest you also remove this comment on your spreadsheet

* functions not implemented on version 0015

as well as the * in front of pins 44,45 & 46

*PWM 5C
*PWM 5B
*PWM 5A

Hey mem, as I reported to you on another thread, timer5 fully works (pin 44, 45 & 46) with arduino 15 version.

As I also reported, you can use timer1 fully hence pins 11, 12 and 13 (T1C) if you do not use T0A from timer0 without corrupting millis() and micros(). The only problem would be a bandwith issue since pin 13 has a LED in serie but this electronic issue, not software timer issue!

I'm using all these features everyday in my little lab using mega board and version 15.

I use for my ZPE lab both duamilanove and mega.

The mega code I gave you works also on duamilanove except you have to change pin allocation and timer allocation.

Please read this excellent & very helpful document http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=rtHw_R6eVL140KS9_G8GPkA&gid=0 for correct pins and timers assignment.
