Once in childhood, for his father, he assembled a primitive pulse charger with capacitor isolation in the primary circuit of a transformer (4 microfarads x 400 V). It was called pulsed because the charge was carried out by a modified semi-sinusoid, and due to the capacitor and an additional bulb (resistor), a discharge occurred in the “non-working” half-cycle with a power of 0.1 of the charging current.
