Mr.Clean's Device

But it sure looks like the 1 Ohm resistor is at the end of the + lead in the video?
Or is the red clip the + wire?

Maybe.
If true, then Mr.Cleans hand drawn schematic is incorrect.

Verpies,

Thanks for taking time to answer me.

Well, I guess we have to wait until Mr. Clean clears this up by posting corrections or new information.

I bet Mr. Clean's bi-toroid would work fine with the primary circuit wired like Lasersaber's Joule Ringer 3. A variable resistor on the transistor base would help adjust frequency to resonance. This simple circuit would be much easier to self loop too.

I think the real advance here is Mr. Clean's choice of the easy to come by fractured "Hi-perm." ferrite toroids for transformer core, and the over the 10x flux reluctance he's apparently achieved in his primary flux path configuration. The amount of surface area touching on the edges between the complete primary toroids is at least ten times less then the flat semi toroid surfaces touching sideways on the secondary paths. It more then likely would help to file two small flat spots on the outside primary toroid edges to increase the primary flux path if it exceeds the "At least" 10x reluctance factor. This small improvement may tend to help maximize the secondary outputs toward Thane's ideal tested ratio. This should help add to the performance reliability recently reported as spotty by Mr. Clean due to perhaps too small a secondaries output. Too great a flux path between the primary toroid edges would kill the secondary outputs altogether. A precise measurement of all the surface areas in contact can help determine exactly how much material to remove from the primary toroid edges to optimize the ratio. Thanks and bravo to Mr. Clean!

We will know soon enough.

We will know soon enough.

Some of "us" already know.   

I would also like to see a comparison made between the "bitoroid" shown, and a single toroid, wound with all three coils on it.

Btw lasersaber.... thanks! I have shamelessly used variants and modifications of your circuit (with credit of course) to make my best JTs.
