Re: What is super-regeneration, why isn't it being used today?
I found the explanation of Rife's possible use of "super regeneration" highly interesting. I'm studying one of the Rife type plasma machines. This machine uses "overmodulation" of amplitude modulated signals with a square wave input. Square waves produce many harmonics and there seems to be some interest in generating even more "sidebands" in the RF signall being sent into the plasma bulb. Maybe somebody should consider using a sawtooth waveform or variable duty cycle square or even a white noise generator fed to the RF carrier. A sawtooth would have lots and lots of high harmonics.... each of which would interact with the RF carrier. If Rif'es machine produced "lots of noise", people should not assume that the noise was a problem. Noise is considered a problem in RF reception but maybe "noise" was a good thing, beneficial to Rife's work (though he may not have known it... as I suspect that spectrum analysis was not possible at that time). In any case, somebody should consider sending a sawtooth waveform and then a white or pink noise signal into the RF carrier... this will generate many many thousands of sidebands.... into the plasma.
Also, if you were to use a frequency modulated signal and send that into the RF carrier, you could adjust the parameters of the FM to produce an incredibly rich array of spectra at will and with tremendous control. Increase the index of modulation and you'll get more sidebands, choose a non integer relationship between the carrier and the modulator and you'll get a fully harmonic spectrum, use 3 oscillators to create cascade FM and you'll have access to a spectrum of nearly any complexity, even approaching that of white noise. Maybe somebody should consider modulating the RF into the plasma with some more noisy signals. Maybe it goes against the grain of the idea of "resonance" but maybe not. If we produce thousands of spectra/sidebands into the RF plasma, it probably matters not what the ampltude is.... one of those thousands of frequencies will surely match the size of a microbe we want to kill, and as Tesla pointed out.... that constant steady input of energy at the right frequency will destroy the cell walls through resonance. Noise may be the answer, not the thing to avoid. I would suggest not making the assumption that the early RF noise was a problem, it may have been the basis of success.
