I would like try one of those...
where can I sign up?

My build is exactly as Patrick's schematic portrays... using BDX53C s ( 8 amps ) which is on the last schematic on the webpage under Figuera...
In my haste to build it on breadboards ( the last one I think I leaned in on the 10000 uF 25 volt cap and blew the whole board )
if you look at the video above the photo of the last ( my ) post you'll see that I took off the last base wire right before the led s
that shows the circuit working plus the PN2222A is flashing on another breadboard where I will put a single BDX53C in next time
I work on it...

Update... I replaced the PN2222A with the BDX53C which is on this video...

PS My build is going to be in a two stage mode ( I may or may not keep running the circuit on 9 volts - but I don't think I'll be hooking up to the 12 300 CCA lawnmower battery ) a run battery and a charge battery like woopy has...

Atom1,
1. Haven't seen anybody replicate the Figuera yet... I've seen the video of Woopy and Kehyo where they demonstrate with one transformer but neither one has completely built the Figuera that's on Patrick's website...

2. Have you built the Figuera... If you have... show us... if you haven't...how do you know it won't function as its suppose to...

3. I have built the circuit ( its in the videos ) they perform like they are suppose to. The BDX53C s lights up ( in the last video )...
My next step is to put the BDX53C on a barrier strip. Wire it to a 1.5 ohm 100 watt resistor and connect it to a 12 volt 300 CCA lawnmower battery. And if the BDX53C is indeed pushing 8 amps into the resistor I am going to hook it up to the transformer I made.
If it works so be it... If it doesn't work I have lost nothing ( I have learned a lot about electronics ). Also if it doesn't work I'll invest in the electric companies (If you can't beat them join them ) its called a return on investment........

4. If it doesn't work...I'll build the Ramaswami apparatus...but I have to see if this " doesn't " work first...

5. My arduino and raspberry pi 2 came in Last week ( I can see robots and drones in my future ) the 555 circuit is/was a stepping stone for them...

Lastly If it does work...nothing is free... you have to buy the parts / build it / and maintain it...

All the Best

May I ask if this suggestion is a good idea for replication of a solid state Figuere device (see attatchment).
If we cut state of the art transformers like depicted (shaded area cut out) then we can assemble a device with original windings in place. Of courese we would use only the low voltage windings for test.
Due to the air gaps I believe that we will not enter in saturation issues at all and then core cross section will be of less importance.
At standard transformers the area of center limb is larger than peripheral limbs. Therefore we should cut the area of air gaps at least in the size of center limb or more - in order to get more tuning opportunities.

Hint:
- I run some simulations that point out that all 4 air gaps are essential. It is not suffitient to have only two of them like some replicators tried. Therfore my idea with cut transformers.
- While the primary windings will get only a unidirectional field the center secondary gets an alternating field.
- Please regard the static remanence field in your mind that is left after first magnetization.  Next cycle will get higher flux.
- Cross section of limbs seems not to be dominant but air gaps are an essential tuning element. My suggestins will allow easy tuning procedures.
- I ponder if the air gap might be tuned in order to pertain Leedskalnin horse shoe effect (a differnt even higher remanence effect in case of closed loops) on the verge of field collaps. (Just a sudden idea !?!?!)


@Randy: If you deal with Arduninos: You easily can output correct sequences for Figuera device at Arduino and you do not suffer on weak drivers like standard CMOS (20mA  and not 3mA). Additionally you may decide to program varying PWM driving using only two outputs. Then you can drive the device along two transistors and two diodes only. Schematic on request - if you can't figure it out.

JohnMiller,
At this point 8 amps is enough for me ( I may in the future go with the 2N3055 ( 15 amps )). As I stated in the last post ( and showed ) the BDX53C is working as planned. My next step is to transfer the BDX53C to a 6 ( or 3 ) position barrier strip and test

All the Best
PS please send the schematic of the arduino as I would like to see it ( PM )...
