Summary: The development of the Magnos board, how does it look like from an engineering perspective.
It's very common that when we hear the term "Voltage Amplification", we get often scared, like, what is it?
In the first place, we have to lead towards the basics (Because this gets scary)
Induction.
So, as you might start to guess, induction plays a vital role into voltage amplification.
It works in such a way that the voltage, like, builds up around a coil, then the coil is super charged, then it release kawpoom of super fast electrons. Easy take, right?
Well, then it's this thing called "Thermodynamics", hey, you can't just ignore and slap Newton in his face. Well, we have done so, but, here's a small heads up, thermodynamics apply when we don't mess with oscillation, such as (this is where it gets scary) quantum physics.
Wait, wait, did you just say QUANTUM PHYSICS? - Yep, quantum physics.
Well, after years of kicking in and craving into research
(please see Series of Quantum Physics Articles We Have Written 1 and also Series of Quantum Physics Articles We Have Written 2 )
We have various and diverse theories on why the oscillation makes a generator system "cold" and it's "cold" because oscillation goes up, warms it up, then goes down, cooling it out, not because a system's energy determines the amount of heat it might generate. That's where I don't believe that mid-century-apple-observer.
So, well, off-track, but we have had to show you a better explanation (or at least how we designed Magnos) to continue with this.
So yeah, induction it's like that, but in order to keep the system "cold", you need to lower the amount of entropy, and that's something oscillation does.
If you believe in hoaxes (Such as if I post a video of the Voltimeter along with the card development you might not believe it), I am attaching the KiCad schematic, PCBs and whatnot, so you can just run the simulation and see the results by your own.
Runing at 400ms time step and 1s of simulation we get this beautiful amount of induction (which furthers into "faster oscillation vroom-vrooms more voltage")
Cool right? Go on, try it. It'll be fun. You might be able to light the whole house with just a small Solar Panel, no addendums.
