Another Cap Dump Method

#1
Since everyone here likes to experiment with cap dumps. Here is another circuit that does not need a neon or a SCR. It offers more stable dump and can run long term and is self triggered as well! I hope you like. Here is the video on youtube.

The idea is to charge the big cap lets say at 48 volts, And the Zener lets say reverse voltage at 28 volts triggers the R voltage divider adjusted carefully tor minimum power needed to trigger the reed switch. The small cap in front of the reed hold the reed switch on for a few milliseconds for the cap to keep dumping even below the zener breakpoint to complete the dump. Relay closes again and the cycle repeats, Drive your big cap with any high voltage low current source such as electrostatics, Bedini motors etc... Some adjustments will be needed after. expect a very stable cap dump.
