The control unit consists of a set of contact breakers, a coil and a capacitor. When the main control knob is turned on, you hear a very typical buzzing sound, this noise is made by the contact breakers, they are snapping open and shut around 55 to 60 times a second. It is when the contact breakers are open that the electrical circuit is cut of and the energy stored in the coil oscillates between the coil and the capacitor at a much higher frequency.
Just untill here we have a high frequency current, but we want more...............

In the Wand Handle there are two coils. The first, a primary, is made of a thick copper wire and consists of around 10 turns around the high voltage coil underneath. This high voltage coil on its turn, consists of around 15 layers of a finer copper wire wound to a width of 3/4 inch. The rest is insulation material.
This high voltage coil behaves like a transformer stepping up the input voltage received from the the control unit to between 30.000 and 50.000 volts and this flows out directly to a glass electrode or another attachment in the handle and is applied to the subject. 
God bless the old established laws of energy which tell us that current is significantly reduced as total energy remains the same.
We are almost there...............

The return end of the high voltage coil connects back to the mains in the control unit, to complete the electrical circuit.
Interestingly it does so in one or several way`s:
- Directly, in which case there is a physical gap at the business end, usually
   mica, which isolates the user from the mains.
- Indirectly, two metal plates separated by a layer of mica, and here also, to
   isolate the user from the mains and is normally buried in the outer layers
   of the coil.
- Indirectly, a plate underneath the coil, again separated by the mica.
- Indirectly, via a capacitor, whereby waxpaper capacitors are not acceptable
   by modern standards.

Whichever system is utilised, and there are bound to be others, it is very
important that it is checked out by an expert, above all before any metal attachments are used.
If the isolator is an old wax capacitor, (it mostly is) then it should be replaced by a modern one, or a gap made at the business end.

Important: Finally we arrived and can start using our Violet Wand device, but before you put the plug to the mains, remember......... 
"Alway`s use a ground fault circuit interrupter!"
Keep away of all metal parts when using a Violet Wand device.
And one last advice, never use a Violet Wand Device on people with pacemakers
or any metal parts in their body, this could lead to serious injuries.
