Re: Dr. Beck's revised original device based on 3x 9V batteries circuit layout diagram

""My own meager contribution would be to suggest that you sweep the frequency range from around 77kHz to around 800kHz (the parasite bandwidth). Repeated as a series of rising (and falling?) frequency pulses.""

Well I was thinking about this dual frequency feed thing and it could work, I would not go this high on frequencies as 30KHz works well. I would target 30KHz from 1st 555 chip and 1KHz from 2nd 555 chip. Since the high and lows in both chips outputs are not matched, I still would put diodes on both outputs before joining them to prevent back current between the chips.

The distortion created would be very interesting:

If each chip creates about 8V output before load here are possible output scenarios that would be present:

8V + 8V = 16V
.5V + 8V = 8.5V
.5V + .5V = 1V

These would alternate in somewhat random way (since it depends on the quality of components to get very stable timings, almost all devices will very with temperature changes), so no critter in our bodies will be able to adopt to the onslaught of random electrons at varying amplitude making Zapper very, very, very effective indeed. Then just add automatic switching of output trough some small relay - perhaps the one Becks first original had - that would require another 555 timer chip - lol, simple double trow, double post should work nice for manual lead switching operation. I still will use Beck style hand leads strapped to my wrists, more convenient then Zappers big handles.

I like this approach and it is worth of investigating.
