P. thought it would be good if some kind of drawing could be shown
representing the binary resonant system.Most of us are aware how 4 diodes
can be put together in a diamond shape for a full wave rectifier.Either
opposite corner can be inputed with AC and pulsed DC is obtained from the
remaining corners shown as the path bisecting the diamond with the load in
the center. This is exactly the same configuration that the BRS takes only
by replacing the forward diodes with coils of equal inductance and the
reverse diodes with equal capacitors. With no load across the midpoints the
circuit represents two possible series resonant branches,180 degrees out of
phase,in parallel. What makes it possible is the correct frequency input to
make it resonate causing a voltage rise going in opposite directions from a
neutral center; so that the voltage rise as measured from the midpoints is
twice that of either side alone. With a short placed across these midpoints
the circuit then acts as one same possible parallel resonant circuit with
the midpoint path being shared by both the inductive and capacitive currents
which both enter and leave from opposite directions. These currents which
are themselves 180 out of phase then become in phase which results in twice
the amperage passing through the midpoint path as in the sides alone. Does
not this same thing happen in the full wave rectifier? Twice the pulses of
amperage exist across its load than on the diode paths themselves. I think
this analogy explains things better. HDN
