LCAP (Again) Possible Free Energy. (Voltage Gain Over time)

It won't run on 1.5V (single AA), so i had to resort to 2x AA rechargeables again, meaning 2.544V.
Frequency is set at 25Hz..........

This lower voltage has caused the pulse train to dissappear, so we are back to a single pulse @ 25Hz.

The reason i put the frequency to 25Hz is because it is almost the double of 10Hz (where you started with 1.5V @ 10Hz) but more specific as at 25Hz the pulses kind of "locks in".
At somewhat lower or higher frequency is wobbles back and forth somewhat, but not at 25Hz.

So what is special of 25Hz?  Well its the half of 50Hz which is here in Europe the local grid frequency.

Putting the circuit to 50Hz even more stabilized the frequency of the circuit, so i think it kind of locks in to the 50Hz of the local grid.

Touching a 3th probe (purple) with my fingers shows there is a fair amount of 50Hz noise in my environment, see screenshot.

So how about your circuit, does it also locks in on the local grid frequency or a subharmonic of it?

Anyway, letting it run overnight at 50Hz presently at 2.544V.

Nope,  no free lunch from the local grid environment, battery voltage had dropped to 2.542V this morning......

Mine runs around 13hz like your did but mines @ 1.5v.
I didn't have any grid noise when I was actually able to borrow a oscope.
It didn't really "lock" into the grid for say or at least I didn't notice.

Back a couple years ago I ran the circuit in a microwave just to see iif the voltage would still continue to climb and it did... I can do it again in a video if you would like.
I will borrow another oscope on Monday and post the waveform, frequency, p to p, RMS and so on if I remember haha

Try just using a 1Mohm resistor instead of the pot. Then adjust your voltage. You should then see the same results as you started with. (The voltage gain)
I find that 1Mohm works the best at all voltages 0.5-35V

If you adjust the 1 Mohm pot any less then 1Mohm I have found you get voltage drain I probably should have mentioned that.
