Great job!  This is a great circuit.

Thanks Bill!!!!!
here is practically this schematic

A related discussion (based on an air-core design) continues here:

I never got it to work as first described running for a very long time on 10,000uf caps . that was my goal and after it didn't happen i proceeded in private. The thing is i have 70 AA Jt circuits so no shortage there . The Thought of running multiple Cfl tubes on an Electrolytic's microamps would have gone far .The Latest E-core thingy is cool but i do it with Big toroid on one c cell or a fuji on one aa... One thing i learned is i did increase a Fugi circuit with the air core to run way longer than i had previously  between 20-28 hours running cfl but it still is drawing MA's not micro ma's . I know a few replicated it like Lidmotor but even his results were close but not the same . So if it is ever replicated an aa battery could run the fabled Joule Ringer for many years by pulsing a good jt to quickly charge up a  few 10,000uf caps . Didn't happen to my knowledge  .I guess it was a part we could not not get . Like when i discovered i could run a Bedeni's output back to the source instead of a secondary battery with a Huge Vintage  RCA rectifier they don't make anymore . People Didn't believe that either until fausto\ replicated it and eventually replaced it with something Else that works just as well . It's all good and Glad Everyone is still having a blast Lighting lights for a fraction of the amp ! I haven't gave up on it and there are a few in the background still working on the original JR using Fugi.I am sticking with 1.2 volts and lower on all inputs because that is easy to obtain rather that 12 volts +

BTW , winding fugi transformer windings   was determined way back in 2008 by the jule thief group . Slayer was the first one to wind a replacement fugi transformer  with toroids and light Clfs with 1 volt . . I really don't see the the new E-core winding as an improvement or related to a Joule Anything because of the higher input voltage and current involved to make it run other than it is easier to wind for unexperienced winders  .I know i seem negative but the main thread was about running on a simple cap charged up to 8  volts and got sidetracked to a totally different beast . the first one was cool because it was claimed to run a fugi after the power was removed from the 10,000uf cap . This in my opinion was over unity but it was not replicated .
Lasersaber do you have thee "Ver 2.0" running like the original ?IF so How ? The Initial Statement was quoted By lasersaber after this question was asked at the Initial announcement Lasersaber made.

After the initial "power up" with the battery how long before the light goes out?

I have not really tried to do a record duration. I did do a test duration run once with a fluorescent tube and my 10000uF 10 volt caps filled to 8 volts. The tube stayed lit for 48 minutes. The last 20 minutes the circuit was still ringing but the tube was lit very dimly.

Could someone explain why we are not seeing this on our replication ? after all it was air core with ferrite  torroids on the ends?  and did not use an expensive Metglas core?

You know 30 seconds alone would be nice on any replication using fugi/cfl  but not even making 2 seconds ? HOW is is Delaying the input voltage supposedly stored in the :ringing: coil?You know Delay line coils were used in Color Tv with Tube Displays but ran at  ultrasonic it delays the colour signal for 64µs (fraction of a second) If we can figure out why his coil delays an hour and then  that  can be applied to all joule thief designs.what did he do different ? The april fools video did not help one bit with the photo shop edit and cast doubt but the original video caught the attention of everyone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoEXCweMxhk
