The ten stages, and an eleventh
Amp Restriction
Meyer's first law for the VIC: let the voltage rise and keep the current out. He wrote it as a list, "10 Stages To Amp Restriction in the VIC", and then added an eleventh. Each stage below is in his words, with what the archive takes it to mean and where in the Technical Brief he explains it.
Meyer's heading says ten. His list has eleven, the last labelled "Step 11", and that eleventh line appears again, word for word, as step 12 of the Voltage Attenuation list. The list is given as he left it.

01
Variable Pulse Voltage Frequency
Variable Pulse Voltage Frequency adjusted to keep amp flow to a minimum — in Meyer's words
What it means
The pulse rate is the first control. The cell is a capacitor with water for its dielectric, and a capacitor passes current in proportion to how fast the voltage across it changes; the frequency is set so the voltage can be driven up while the current the water draws stays near nothing. -
02
Variable Gated Pulse
Variable Gated Pulse is adjusted to reduce amp flow still further, while allowing voltage amplitude and pulse frequency to be adjusted to tune into higher gas yields — in Meyer's words
What it means
The pulses are sent in bursts with a gap between them: the gate. The gap is where the water lets go of what it drew, so current is cut again without touching the pulse itself, and amplitude and frequency are then free to be tuned for gas. -
03
Resistive Wire 430/FR on Secondary Coil
Resistive Wire 430/FR on Secondary Coil — in Meyer's words
What it means
The secondary of the VIC transformer is wound in 430FR stainless steel rather than copper. The wire's own resistance limits how much current the winding can pass, whatever the voltage across it; the coil becomes a voltage source that cannot become a current source. -
04
Weak Air Space between Primary and Secondary
Weak Air Space between Primary/Secondary coupling is a stop gap method of restricting amps since no electrical connection exists inside said air-gap — in Meyer's words
What it means
Primary and secondary are coupled only by their magnetic field across a gap, with no wire between them. A loosely coupled transformer cannot deliver heavy current to its secondary however hard the primary is driven. Meyer calls it a stop gap: a limit set by construction rather than by control.(26) (52) (53) Voltage Intensifier Coil Assembly (WFC 423DA-2)

05
Amp restricting before Transformer Action
Amp restricting functions prior to Transformer Action prevent "Power Drop" during pulsing operations under load — in Meyer's words
What it means
The current limits are placed on the primary side, before the transformer steps the voltage up. A load on the secondary then cannot drag the primary down: the pulse arrives at full height every time, which is what "no power drop under load" means. -
06
Resistive Wire 430/FR in Resonant Charging Chokes
Resistive Wire 430/FR in Resonant Charging Chokes — in Meyer's words
What it means
The same steel wire in the two chokes either side of the cell. A choke passes a pulse's voltage and resists a change in current; wound in resistance wire it does both harder, so the chokes let the voltage through to the water and stand in the way of any current that tries to follow. -
07
Natural Water, chemical interaction held to a minimum
Natural Water having 20ppm / Chemical Interaction held to a minimum since amps are restricted — in Meyer's words
What it means
Plain water, not an electrolyte. Electrolysis needs current and an electrolyte to carry it; with current held out there is nothing for dissolved salts to do, so ordinary water of about twenty parts per million serves and the electrodes are not eaten. -
08
Cavity Insulation
Cavity Insulation - Prevent Electrical Leakage and said applied voltage pulses retain much higher voltage potential during gas production. Seals off said voltage gap by preventing electrical leakage to said water supply. Voltage concentration is now accomplished during gas production. — in Meyer's words
What it means
The cell's electrodes are insulated everywhere except the gap they face across, so the voltage has one path, the water gap, and none through the surrounding supply. What would have leaked away stays across the gap; that is what he means by concentrating the voltage.(Cp) (170) Water Fuel Injector, Taper Resonant Cavity (WFC 423DA-2)

09
More excitor pairs, same pulsing circuit
Pulsing Circuit remains the same with more excitor pairs added. Power loss is held to a minimum — in Meyer's words
What it means
The cell is scaled by adding electrode pairs, not by driving harder. Because each pair draws almost no current, the one pulsing circuit serves them all and the power lost stays where it was. -
10
Primary / Secondary Weak Coupling
Primary / Secondary Weak Coupling — in Meyer's words
What it means
The last of the ten, and the fourth said again as a principle rather than a construction: the transformer is deliberately weakly coupled so that voltage transfers and current does not. It is the balance the whole list exists to hold.(26) (52) Amp Inhibiting Circuit vs Voltage Enhancement (WFC 423DA-2)
-
11
Voltage amplitude adjusted no further once Compounding Action holds
Step 11: Voltage Amplitude is adjusted no further, to keep amp flow to a minimum, once Compounding Action is properly maintained. — in Meyer's words
What it means
Once the chokes and cell are resonating and each pulse builds on the last, the compounding he describes elsewhere, the input amplitude is left alone. Pushing it further only invites current. The same sentence closes the Voltage Attenuation list as its step 12.(Vn) (56) (62) Amp Inhibiting Circuit vs Voltage Enhancement (WFC 423DA-2)
