Fundamental Tenets of Physics:
1, A moving Bunch of Charges creates a Bunch of Magnetic Field/s.
2, A Time-Varying Bunch of Magnetic Field/s creates a Bunch of Electric Field/s..
Hence, a pulsed high current (6 to 27.2 volts DC) diode should create a Bunch of Electrons
with Drift Velocities of 1.45 to 3.1 million meters per second.
I wonder if the Tungar Charger had a weight change while in operation. :-)
Note that you can get 12 or 24 Amperes worth of electrons that drift at a velocity from
1.5 million to possibly 3.0 million meters per second (in spurts) shotgun effect. :-)
Produced for 6 volt batteries only?

"Referring to Figure 43, it will be noticed that an alternating current will flow in the primary of the transformer when the line switch is closed. A voltage will be generated in the secondary winding by transformer action. The secondary winding is tapped a few turns from each end to provide a voltage for lighting the filaments of the Tungar bulbs. These filaments are lighted in the same manner as an ordinary electric light except that it uses a very low voltage. (Two and one-half volts are used for lighting the Tungar filament.) The purpose of lighting the filament is to cause it to emit a large number of electrons. The secondary of the transformer is also tapped at its mid-point, and a connection is made from this tap to the positive side of the storage battery being charged. The plates of the two Tungar bulbs are wired together, and are connected, through the ammeter, to the negative side of the storage battery"
