Coil self oszillating by inserting magnet

A crt deflection coil on its ferrit core , another coil wound on it, 2 capacitors and a permanent magnet put into it. Seems much more simple as the kapanadze device.
Any explanations ?

Are you sure that is a magnet he is putting in the coil?  It almost looks like a tritium glow tube.  Do you read Russian?  If he is really getting a current flow that way it is interesting but my first guess would be he's picking up something from under the table.  I don't like to assume anyone is faking a video but I don't see any other explanation at the moment but as easy as it would be to build you might give it a try.

Hi E2,

Is this the TPU ?

What we're looking at here is a Danial McFarland Cook battery. The capacitors serve as a replacement for Cook's second bifilar tesla coil, as we've seen demonstrated in the Joule Ringer threads.

As far as I know it is not a TPU but it could possibly have some similarity in principle.  That's an interesting observation.  But I'm not sure it is anything other than a trick.  Having a second look at the video do you notice how suddenly the LED's turn on and then off?  I'm guessing it's more like a small coin cell taped inside the coil with a small reed switch.  If I had a deflection coil handy I'd try this even though I think it may be fake but I don't have any easily found at the moment.
