Another interesting property of this type of circuit is that the placement of two neon bulb, spark gaps are equivalent to what Richard Hackenberger discovered fifty years ago about his development of the E.V. Gray pulsed, D/C motor. First, they were raided by the local district attorney's office of Los Angeles. If that weren't bad enough, they were subquently raided by the FCC for disturbing the air-waves. Had Richard played an AM radio while he worked, he might have learned of his creation of radio wave interference which his experiments were creating and would have avoided the FCC raid which took everything, including their desk chairs!       Fortunately, they had a few models in storage which the FCC didn't know about. So, that wasn't included on their search and seize warrant.       Richard immediately went to work on how to prevent the creation of radio interference. What he came up with, according to the [http://amiaraisonhead.blogspot.com/2016/11/mark-mckays-ev-gray-motor-analysis.html analysis of the history of the development of the E.V. Gray motor by Mark McKay], was a thorough technique for erradicating the projection of radio interference which also solved another problem which they were having ...       This device of theirs was putting out so much energy, a few hundred times more energy output than its input according to tests performed by the Bing Crosby Research Foundation (set up during WWII to streamline the throughput of inventions to help the war effort) that they were blowing up batteries as the only method they could think of for dumping the excess energy produced by this device but not needed to run its motoring characteristics. What a waste of resources! Well, ...
      Adversity sometimes has the benefit of teaching us what we need to know but couldn't have learned any other way.       What Richard came up with was an entirely new method to both solve the battery blowup problem and make the FCC happy. It involved pumping compressed air through the interior of the motor. This created ions which grounded their electrostatic charges to any object nearby much like we'll ground ourselves anytime we walk across a carpet in the wintertime and feel an electric spark fly between our hand and a door knob.       But this was not all what Richard did to solve the problem. He had to also construct the chassis of the motor of aluminum, surround it with nine wide bands of copper ribbon, coat the interior surface of the motor's chassis with Teflon or Delron (both of which are dielectric materials, aka. insulators which can store a charge much like a capacitor can store a charge). Richard also had to create aluminum brackets to mount the motor's coils onto in order to serve as the inner plate of this customized capacitor. The aluminum chassis surrounded by its nine copper bands was the other, opposing plate. The air flowing through it plus the inner Teflon coating was the dielectric of this custom-built capacitor.       So, what does this have to do with my simulation of Fig. 16a+b+c?       I've simulated many versions of this generalized archetype. Many are not stable; they blow up. I suspect that this design is stable enough not to blow up due to its ''dual use'' of neon bulb, spark gaps acting as the dielectric capacitant equivalency to Richard's compressed air. Furthermore, the locations of these two neon bulbs are acting as capacitors (of very weak capacitance on the order of a few pico Farads) since that is what neon bulbs are characterized as behaving prior to their flashing ON during their ionization into a state of plasma.       Voila! Safety and simplicity all in one!       John Bedini used to suggest the use of a neon bulb in some of his “radiant energy” circuits to prevent his circuits from frying themselves should its user forget to connect that circuit to a load prior to turning it ON or OFF.
