series LC resonance in a DC circuit

Dear all,

Just to make a point:
Do you know what happens if you add a coil in series with a capacitor?

I hope you say: it doubles the voltage across the capacitor...
Now try to do that with a watercell........

Yes bro thats what im trying to tell you

Adding electrolyte would raise the dielectric constant.... I was thinking perhaps is good to have a composite electrolyte having a salt and a base or acid... This way there is going to be more ions of both types

I tried this and noway i found any raise in voltage across the cell....
Not sure if extra electrolyte will help, Fabio.
It is confusing...

perhaps you should use a low voltage like 0,5v

This is a misunderstanding.
The way you get the double of voltage if when a real capacitor fully charges to voltage supplied and there will be no current flow anymore, so the inductor collapses producing the pulse BUT THE POWER SUPPLY IS STILL CONNECTED, and since that, it charges to Vsupplied + inductor pulse in series.
In a pulsed system as Meyer with non-ideal "capacitor" there will be a second pulse and not the voltage doubling effect.

In the example of the video the voltage is always connected, in Meyer system the Interruption of the power source (pulse off time) is what "triggers" the collapsing of the inductor(s).
