As we can select the number of pulses going into the water with 100% precision, in my mind this can be only related as i said before to the voltage level you allow it to go, if you allow 1 two or 2500 pulses depends on the Vic design. If you notice also the Steam resonator uses determined number of pulses per switch if i can call it like that.
So if you let the pulses continue to go without gating it, 1 you create a dangerous condition, in witch 1° it can explode, 2° cause will certainly burn the VIC if not properly insulated.
I have just finished my 6.1 vic the inductances are not that big, for example in air the resonant charging chokes have tx5 1,7 ad 2,2 respectively, with the core the tx4 become smaller than tx5 so just by inserting the laminations i can equal the inductance of the coils. The secondary is 5mh, and now i know the coupling is much much better, so now i can be more free of trouble with the transistors blowing. The primary has 1,4mh..
If you think about the voltage transformation from primary to secondary is irrelevant, cause at resonance you must only think about the secondary to chokes voltage per turn.
cause for example the secondary is = to the charging choke, and the primary is applying or imposing 2 amps in the chokes, lets assume the choke in resonance would have 600ohms reactance therefore it would have 1200 volts across it so the secondary will also have 1200 volts in it and the charging choke too, so this will make a almost theoretic perfect current source!!! Nice isn't
By water resonance meyer mean that it behave like benzene resonance, were the electrons are free to exchange between the atoms. The thing is that you need to achieve this point but prevent the current from leaking thru the water, arc, so the gate controls this too for sure.
