Yes, schematics and pic's give more ideas and some interesting info.
I think so ang give it for you specialy.
Tell me to know about your experiments and results in that field and I inform 
rusian forums about it.

If you know something to translate - email me pse personaly. I translate info 
for you to english a little bit.
