A few weeks ago i decided to dive into this interesting subject. I think you all are familiar with this topic and know about the work of Thane Heinz and others.
My approach is similar but i start with some non-complicated math. Goal is to know how much delay a coil system should have to benefit from this effect. Therefore we have to measure the ohms and henry from a coil to calculate the time constant T which plays a key role here.

as we can see, if we shorten the secondary from transformer the time delay gets big. and the force which acts against our primary source dipole loose strength so this is what we want maybe...

For any RL system, the time constant is:

\(
\tau = \frac{L}{R_{\text{total}}}
\)

where:

* \(L\) is the effective inductance seen by the current path
* \(R_{\text{total}}\) is the total series resistance (winding resistance, external resistors, and any equivalent resistive damping introduced by loads or coupling networks)

a bit more of this can be found at: https://aether-research.institute/MSO5000_liveview_doc/delayed_lenz_coupled_inductors/

just released v1.1.6 
- CH5 (if selected) shows p(t)=v(t)*i(t) as new plot in Scope
- Import Feature
- TANK view
- Value Reference Page
- and more calculated Metrics 

RLC-Analyzer on Docker Hub

Download Self-Host Bundle (v1.1.6)

or test it here

for updates on this subject i use Telegram Channel.

after some refinements (mostly under the hood) v1.1.4 is ready. it is licensed under GPLv3 so everybody can use it freely. you can host it on your own server or use docker container if you like to have lab-security.

additional information can be found here

@jagau -> awesome image

This is the first time I've seen a Doc R Stiffler reel in 3D, incredible.

thx guys for response!

pF and MHz ability -> added šŸ˜Ž

update meastrip:

a long way to go...

Your app just keeps getting better!

fyi: unit specifiers V, Hz, %, and ms/div are no longer visible in the Source and Scope sections?

This is a valuable tool for seeing hypothetical projections come to life. ... very valuable, btw.

I can enjoy this (and BeyondUnity developments) while away from my lab/bench ... only a digital voltmeter at this remote location for a few more weeks. šŸ™ƒ

Hello Bearndorfer

This is a very interesting tool.

When picofarads and megahertz will be available, the simulator will be very powerful. Perhaps I'm asking too soon; it's up to you. Thanks for the simulator.

I've started checking some effects that are compatible with real-world applications.

there is a second version with lots of improvements - i call it 'pro' because there we can have C in parallel with RL and other stuff. the scope can be changed to other views which are physicaly correct but can look 'spooky' sometimes - i like that. and because this suck up all of your cpu and gpu power i integrated a performance measurement tool too. if you are an explorer you can check it out here.

to make things more interesting i put a C in series with RL. so now we have a full RLC branch tester.

Focus mode for laptop

The next steps for me is to prove the simulator against my lab-experiments. when it is accurate enough i can step forward and add magnetic coupling or other stuff.

if you find errors or 'stupid' data values please tell me!

have a nice day!

i do all the coding with Sublime Text.

For UI-design and framework i use GPT 5.2

What IDE/editor do you use?

Do you use any AI to code?
