Axil, absolutely right, yet I agree with Jack about the implementation. When I did that LTSpice analysis of the simplified circuit, I was very clear about how big a simplification it was for me to leave out the isolation transformer and the loading current. The entire circuit as described in the patent is quite complex and subtle. The pulse generator is very close to oscillation; poor construction techniques alone are probably enough to make it ring like a bell instead of producing pulses that can be modulated from the microcontroller as described in the patent.
Jack, I think really understanding the isolation transformer T8 is essential to solving the problem with the loading current. The microcontroller/pulse generator and the wet cell are separate circuits with separate grounds. I don't think the circuit will work as described if the two sides of T8 have a common ground anywhere. In fact I think it might result in letting the smoke out. And it's always worth mention that the circuit in the patent is potentially deadly. The issue that has blocked our little group from taking this on is the cost of the test equipment. Without a high-bandwidth oscilloscope to look at the Q pulses, you are blind. Based on my own experience (with vaguely similar designs for driving large piezo transducers in sonar systems), the drive circuit is unlikely to work as intended without testing and fussing and adjustment, so being blind does not sound like a path to success. I think 300Mhz bandwidth is the bare minimum, a GHz scope would be better. These cost money. Let us know how it goes.
