An interesting phenomenon I found

[MileHigh]

Unfortunately there is nothing here.  E2matrix you amaze me because you must have been "here" 50 times or more and you keep on believing without really taking a realistic appraisal of the overall situation.  Xenophed you seem like a nice guy but you are also clearly a beginner.  You are not observing a one-wire power transfer to light up the LEDs.  There is stray "invisible" capacitance in the air and between the stray capacitance in the air and the ground underneath your breadboard a high-frequency AC signal can propagate through the main physical wire and an "invisible second wire."  So between your single wire and an "invisible" second wire you can transfer power into your circuit and light up the LEDs.  It is all 100% normal and expected.

Likewise, your circuit using the tri-filar transformer and the transistors is not an over unity circuit.  Careful measurements would clearly show that.  Do you have an oscilloscope?

So no breakthrough.  If you are wise, in cases like this you take a step back and the first thing you should be thinking about is a way to take a second and different measurement to see if you can corroborate your first measurement.  If you work hard at this and undertake to learn more about electronics eventually it will all start to make sense.

No scope and I have been studying electronics since the 1960  and yes I have attached a 45 watt incandescent light bulb to the output coil with the laserhacker joule thief circuit it pulled 2.74 amps and with the new driver about .7 ~ .8 amps  both time a 105 v ac reading on the meter. I would note those current readings are the input current not output current. I would also note that I tuned the resonance of the dual input coils by placing capacitors accost them at about .047uf. In a final note I will have a new video in a few and the discussion will be over at that point. You guys need to understand that the russians in all their videos  or anyone it is about  resonance and phase  shift on the input. But when I hit the lotto I will make sure that I buy a lecroy  Oscope to seed nice pictures to all not that  it will prove any other than I*E=watts.You would note the part about me being severally disabled and can not hardly hold a pencil. In a couple of weeks when I get some components in I will post the proof of concept video. Peace and love to all

Here is a correct schematic

Hey Xen

The coil and transistor below the battery. What is happening there?  It looks like more circuitry than Lasersaber used.

Interesting

Think of it this way dual laserhacker coils drivers only we use different transistors so that when one turns off the other turns on the other coil. To get the lowest current draw apply .1~.01 uf capacitors across each coil.

xenophed,  thanks for your replies.   Don't worry about MileHigh since he just automatically assumes everything is a measurement error or that everyone is too dumb to build anything that works.   He may have some points about the LED's but I believe you are on to something very good here.   When I looked at the circuit with the LED's I assumed it was a sort of Avramenko plug that was getting power to them from fairly high frequency input.   That in itself would not be too big of a thing and one wire power has been shown by others.   But lighting an incandescent is very impressive so I'm rooting for you to show MileHigh a thing or two     I don't have any ready access to welding rods but next time I get near town I'll pick some up to try this.   I am also working on an idea with some other metal that I might put together something similar to give this a try in the mean time.
