Testing the TK Tar Baby

Delighted to see that you're doing some homework.  And thank you for endorsing my argument.  The MOSFET only needs an applied voltage signal in order to provide a path for the the current from that source battery supply..

Thank you for endorsing MY argument: you have been wrong and are still wrong about the FUNCTION GENERATOR AS A SOURCE OF CURRENT IN YOUR CIRCUIT.

Can somebody translate this word salad into English for me? The battery is NEVER disconnected from the circuit, in the first place, whether the mosfets are on or off. Look at the battery traces in the scope shots. Does it ever drop to zero? EVER? Of course not.
Go ahead, Rosemary. Unplug the battery from your circuit. I want to see the scope trace of the oscillations then.

I addressed this observation to Poynty Point.  With good reason.  I KNOW that you don't understand it.  You're not there yet.  I'm waiting for you to get there.  As ever.  And in answer to your question - NO.  The battery does not ever drop to zero.  Nor do we argue that it drops at all.  What's new?  You STILL do not understand our argument.

Two words. Dunning-Kruger.

I shake my head in bewilderment.

We are most certainly on the same side of this argument.  I AGREE.  ABSOLUTELY.  The function generator is NOT a source of current flow in our circuit.  WHY do you keep plugging this?

I understand what "disconnected from the circuit" means. But you as usual define that differently don't you.

Let's see the oscillations with your battery disconnected from the circuit.
