Electrostatic Power Generator

Overview:
This device appears to be an electrostatic power generator that leverages the principles of ionization, capacitance, and electrostatic interactions to generate and store electrical energy. The setup involves a combination of hybrid ion valves functioning as capacitors (similar to Leyden jars), copper coils for high-frequency (HF) filtering, and a configuration of dissimilar metals to create a potential difference and generate current.
Components Breakdown:

1. Hybrid Ion Valves as Capacitors (Leyden Jar Configuration):
   • These are used to store charge and create a potential difference. The ion valves function similarly to Leyden jars, where a dielectric material (ionized air in this case) is sandwiched between conductive plates or surfaces (MG mesh electrodes).
     
   • The center rod inside each ion valve is a copper coil. This coil serves two purposes: filtering high-frequency signals and helping ionize the air around it.
     
2. Copper Coil for HF Filtering and Ionization:
   • The copper coil in the center of the ion valve serves as a high-frequency filter, ensuring that only the desired frequencies are allowed through while unwanted frequencies are filtered out.
     
   • Additionally, the high voltage applied to this coil creates an intense electric field around it, which ionizes the surrounding air. This ionized air acts as a dielectric medium with enhanced properties, increasing the capacitance of the system.
     
3. Dissimilar Metals Reaction:
   • The device utilizes dissimilar metals (e.g., magnesium mesh and other metallic components) to create a galvanic reaction. This reaction contributes to generating a real potential difference (voltage) and current within the magnetic field of the system.
     
   • This galvanic effect works alongside the electrostatic storage and helps to maintain a steady potential difference, further charging the internal capacitors.
     
4. MG Mesh Electrodes and Ionized Air Dielectric:
   • The internal capacitors are made of magnesium (MG) mesh electrodes with a small gap of air between them. This air is ionized by the high voltage field generated by the copper coil, which significantly enhances the dielectric properties of the air.
     
   • As the dielectric constant of the air increases due to ionization, the capacitance of these internal capacitors increases, allowing them to store more energy.
     
5. Cap Dump Outputs:
   • The energy stored in the capacitors is periodically released or "dumped" into the circuit, providing a burst of electrical energy. This is the "cap dump" output mentioned in the diagram.
     
   • The enhanced capacitance due to ionized air allows for more substantial energy storage and, consequently, more powerful outputs when the stored energy is released.
     

How It All Comes Together:

• The device begins by generating a high voltage through an electrostatic generator (depicted by the hand-crank mechanism on the left).
  
• This high voltage is applied to the hybrid ion valves, which store the energy in the form of an electrostatic charge.
  
• The copper coils inside these valves help filter out unwanted frequencies and ionize the air around the MG mesh electrodes.
  
• The dissimilar metals create a small but constant potential difference, contributing to the overall energy generation process.
  
• The internal capacitors, with their enhanced capacitance due to the ionized air, store a significant amount of energy, which is then periodically released to produce a high-power output.
  

This system combines traditional electrostatic principles with innovative uses of ionization and materials science to create a power-generating and storing device that capitalizes on high voltage and high-frequency effects. The enhanced dielectric properties due to ionized air and the galvanic reactions of dissimilar metals make this setup potentially more efficient than conventional electrostatic generators.

Since my drawing is not that great. Here is the circuit representation of the filter i'm trying to incorporate also as an ion valve and capacitor jars at the same time following this circuit as a base.
