Expanding on the importance of self/mutual inductance and how to manipulate it.
Making self/mutual-inductance work in phase with applied primary current, accelerating the change in work, and compressing the time scale, amplifying total power delivered (step-up transformer)
Take for instance again the attached simple circuit. I have no video at the moment, but, if you build it, you will see. Without the diode from the LV+ to HV lead, you will see both electrodes light up, with the bottom neon electrode being brighter. If you add the diode string, you will see only the bottom electrode light up MUCH brighter.
Without the diodes, the forward current of the primary, through mutual-induction creates a reversed flow in the secondary, and the the HV lead is HV- on forward induction and the top neon terminal lights up (current flows from + towards -, the HV- lights up because Voltage flows - towards + ), then the current stops flowing, and the magnetic field collapses much faster than the forward field grew, ("flyback always collapses faster), this collapse reverses the voltages, and the change in work happening over a shorter time increases voltage (Delta Work/Delta Time) making the bottom neon electrode glow brighter.
Now adding the diode...
Normally, as the primary current flows, the mutual-induced current in the secondary opposes the current flow in the primary and creates an opposing reversed magnetic field that fights the magnetic field being created in the primary, by adding the diode string with negative polarity facing the HV lead....this reversed mutual-induced HV- current shorts out through the diodes, as such the opposing induced current in the secondary is allowed to flow out of the secondary, this also removes the opposing induced magnetic field in the Flux core. So this first step, neutralizes the opposition of mutual-inductance.
At the exact same time, the rerouting of this current out of the inductor of the secondary, creates its own reversed self/mutual inductance in opposition to itself, into the secondary, along with a magnetic field also opposed to itself, this self/mutual inductance of a self/mutual induced current is now IN PHASE WITH the primary current/magnetic field (opposite of an opposition), and pulls the primary magnetic field into the core faster, and in turn, pulls the current in faster, which in turns increases the induced current/field speed, etc, etc....in essence, it creates a positve feedback loop, exponentially accelerating the speed which current/voltage is distrubuted across both primary and secondary coils (both coils are energized).
Once the capacitor/pulse is empty/off, the voltage across the primary reverses (see RLC circuits) matching secondary polarity (there is also a possibility the primary current(s) are pulled into the feedback loop as the HV- potential rises, as they would be HV+ biased regardless of their LV bias).
The diode shuts off, and the magnetic field starts to collapse, being as there is no opposed current/field in the coils, or in the iron core, the "Flyback" occurs faster than normal, and the voltage flips and increases many factors higher, and all power is sent forward across neon/gap. None of the power was lost (besides losses due to resitance), and it was in fact, amplified beyond initial input. Aetheric inpouring was allowed to occur by destabilizing/reorienting self/mutual-inductions that would normally balance/oppose forward applied current and magnetic field propagation/collapse. (I suspect self/mutual-induced counter currents/EM fields arise from aetheric polarization)
Reminds me of another circuit. Diodes help to prevent reversal, and support redirection. Harvesting backEMF nets another step. But, there's always a headroom ceiling you can attenuate within.
