hey guys, i have some time to visit this forum again and want to let you know about my opinion. I have stopped experimenting because i got much work to do, college started again (studying electrical engineering) and thus i had to revise some stuff, complex impedances etc.
First of all:
A resonant series circuit is used to get high voltage from relatively small voltage. It will NOT raise current at the capacitor, only raise the maximum current on the lc-circuit. it is the voltage which is raised on the reactive parts.
One source:

After studying the tesla patent for the bifilar coil it's clear where i made a mistake when i tested my cell. The bifilar coil is not wound bifilar to create opposing magnetic fields thus minimizing the inductance, it's there to raise the inductance and because of that creating a very high voltage pulse (after lenz's law) which also lowers current.
They use this technique with neon lamps, they do not want to use a high ohm resistance, because the thermal energy losses (heat) would be to big, so they use a coil with a high inductive resistance when run on alternating current which will limit current without energy losses.
You must connect the bifilar coil like Jnaudin did or tesla, not as stated in D14.pdf!
If everything is done right there is no need for a coating really, because of the very little current at the capacitor.
Alltogether: Pulsed DC (acts like ac on coils etc. but witht he advantage that it's only working in one direction), conventional transformer to step up voltage by the factor 3 (stated in patent), series circuit to get a highly magnified voltage with the right quality of the circuit and the bifilar coil creating a high voltage potential when connected the right way.
=> low input power, high output voltage, low output current
it's not so hard at all, but after several reports i don't believe really that a voltage field will split atom bindings. maybe i'll have time to build the thing again and i'll see..
