In any case, the primary winding *must* return to the mains supply some how!! Wall wart 240VAC to 12VAC. Connected to this is a bridge rectifier with a smoothing capacitor. Connected to that is a hidden circuit, with ONE output wire, to the spike in the ball. Did you not read this line, Peter, ...."one connects to the central spike inside the ball and the other end *must* connect somewhere" For current flow, *there must be two connections* !! Just because you cannot determine where it is doesn't mean it doesn't exist!! Which is what I first thought, then someone else said it was capacitive. It most certainly does NOT exist. I can clearly see a sealed unit with three wires coming from it. Two are the 15VDC supply wires, the other goes to the centre of the discharge tube. If it is capacitive, it is capacitive. Did you read where I mentioned you shoe acting as the dielectric of a capacitor?? Yes I know. But the side of the capacitor connected to the HT supply is not visible. Alternatively, the three leads out of your box could be... 1. the high tension lead, 2. the power supplies (low) voltage lead, and, 3. the common (earth) rail used by both the high tension supply and the low tension supply!! Perhaps. -- I go fishing; I catch nothing. I go to orgies; I catch everything. |
