Here's a picture of the plastic tube that can slip over the secondary.  The primary can be wound on this very cleanly.  I have a suspicion this extra insulation will be helpful.  If I wind my bell wire right on the secondary the bulb dims and power draw is up.  If I keep the bell wire off the secondary by about 1/8" - 1/4" its much better.

Hi lynxsteam, lol, that's the exact pvc tube I have for my secondary tower coil.
What did you use for the secondary tube, thanks.

Use 3/4" PVC shed 40 pipe for the secondary.  I should confirm that with 30 awg wire this outer tube will fit over.  It will probably be like a glove, but I will check this afternoon.

When I click on the Joule Ringer Thread http://www.overunity.com/10179/joule-ringer/msg322132/#new I get a blanc page?

This error is a common nuisance to this forum: you never know which link won't work today. I have the exact link to the Joule Ringer; just change the last number appearing in the link to get the desired post/page:http://www.overunity.com/10179/joule-ringer/80/

just change the number 80 at the end of the link for desired post number.

Hi folks, I realized my cfl was probably a larger one than I thought, so I gutted a 13 watt I had and it lighted the same, then I used a larger transistor and it lighted the cfl much better, though I accidentally placed a wire across base and positive and fried my last large transistor, well at least I know it works good even with the larger 1-1/2" diameter secondary tube and I was using 25 turns of I think 20 gauge speaker wire, though less turns on the secondary will probably make the cfl much brighter.

By the way, I still cannot access page 32 of the joule ringer thread, though I can access all the other pages, odd.
And yes I used your trick conrad and still can't access page 32.
