First Attempt at Simulating Barbosa and Leal


Of course, this is not intended to be accurate - just an initial attempt at laying out the groundwork. Realism is lacking. That will take time.

The AC power source is straining at supplying enough energy for the entire circuit. It exhibits indications of this strain by virtue of its very high amperage and wattage to compensate. The Captor Loop hasn't been tied to its underlying wire (composing a portion of the secondary, or Electric Keeper). And the Earth is not contributing anything. And I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to put the resistor in parallel below the spark gap rather than alongside of it. But it seemed happier there!😉

I'm extremely grateful for Paul Falstad and Iain Sharp for their very accessible software.
