I hate to say it but one of my u-tube videos is misleading and I posted it here in this thread  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlOwf6KnkhY
I tried wiring the ferrite core the way he says and it will not work for me.triffid


But Now my JT works!!!

 I just happened to buy a crystal growing kit at the dollar tree store the other day for $1.00.I wondered what kind of crystal material it had in it.It turns out to be monoammonium phosphate number 4 red(food coloring red).  http://www.waynesthisandthat.com/crystals.htm
explains how to grow these crystals and more.triffid




It has .81 oz of monoammonium phosphate in it.

I still need conductive string.Im busy now trying to survive the heat wave that hit st.louis.Im working on JTs now.I rewound my bad toroid coil so it will work now.I finally found some pieces of flint rock and tried the voltmeter on them.I was able to get 2/1000 volts max from a piece of flint and aluminum foil(wrapped around the rock).triffid






I have been looking for flint for a while.I saw a lot of it when I was a kid.

I got my second JT built and its running.My voltmeter is not advanced enough to see the spikey nature of this type of electricity.But the LED sees it and thats all I need I guess?triffid


My voltmeter sees 1.52 volts max but the LED lights up.I rewired the thing about three times before I hooked up the LED.I was trying to read increased voltages with a voltmeter that will not read them(I need a scope).The JT did not seem to be working until I hooked up the LED.
Then I caught on to the fact my voltmeter will never see this type of voltage.

Ok I have found my conductive thread.I will have to order it online.The good news is this stuff can be soldered.
