After going through several setups with batteries, inductors, transformers, capacitors and alternators, I have come to the conclusion that we cannot replicate the same effect you get with the alternator's 3-phase output.
I believe, Dave Lawton and Ravi only replicated the effect of the alternator setup. It is easy and very obvious. The trick is to power 2 sets of tubes with one phase and have a common ground (the inner tubes).
The alternator setup works best with the ss tube cell. It does not work very well with the plate cell unless you add lots of electrolyte. The tube cell even works with distilled water.
Until we are able to find a circuit that mimics the alternator we are stuck in one place.
