   Guys:   My latest video, below, showing the lighting of a G.E. 8.5w LED bulb. As well a a 26 led board.   I'm working on getting the brightness up to "blinding" levels, but I'm not there yet.   Once I add the second diode loop, I should be able to add another AC 24 led bulb, and double the lumins levels, as the Doc has mentioned.   Video:  https://youtu.be/mkLr32fDR-A

Hi Nick,

Good job and what you learn and experience in building the circuits which is the most valuable.

I think it was the 22 pF capacitor across the transistor, right? that tricked you. Such capacitors
are sensitive to heat when being soldered. It is a good habit to hold the legs with a flat ended
tweezers or plyers while soldering them, to conduct the heat away that could get into the body of
the capacitor.

It is the color temperature of light sources that are measured in Kelvin, this did not occur to you
in the video. Your G.E. LED lamp gives pleasant light.
Just for a comparison, if others are also interested, watch this 5 minute long video, it demonstrates
some lamps with differing color temperatures.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq3K2wsItw0

   Gyula:   Yes, it was the 22pF ceramic cap, it looked fine, but was dead. Thanks for the tip about the heat affecting them.
I have blown my share of transistors on this test circuit, and that's probably what fired the cap, when the transistors blow.
   Those little pF caps are of mayor importance, in the overall output seen at the bulbs. As well as the transistors that are chosen. I'm still looking for best right one (transistor),  that can cut it.  Even the crystals starts to heat up when using higher voltages.But, from what I've seen in almost All of these circuits is, that the transistors overheat, and the output is weak. That's what I'm working on to improve.
   
   Kelvin values, yes. Thanks again. The 2700 value  warm white,  G.E 8.5 watt led bulbs are great, and can also be dimmed. However,  I think that the filament type bulbs are the future of leds. There are some in a square shape, that are in laid on a glass frame. 12w, 1000 lumins and higher.  And some LEDs are now being produced up to 100w or higher, but, I don't think that I needs those, just yet. My crystal oscillator wouldn't know what to do with them...
   
   Itsu:  Did the MPSA06 actuallly perform any better than some of the other transistors that you've tried? Which transistor has provided the best output at the bulbs? What value trim pot do you use on the base circuit of your oscillator?
   I need to find a transistor that will hold up to higher voltages. As all the ones that I've used are too limiting, they overheat or don't provide much output, if I try to control the overheating at higher voltages.
   I may try to connect one of my L3 coils to my Kacher circuit.  What do you think will happen?...
Can a crystal powered Kacher circuit be made? That has the power of the Kacher circuit, but runs on the crystal frequency.
Or is that like trying to upscale, in the wrong way?
   Tito says that the receiving circuit needs to be different that the transmitting circuit.  Maybe he has a point?
   Lidmotor:  How would you loop the Docs circuits to self run???  I know that you've played around with that idea, before.So, Please share you thoughts and ideas, on that.
    Slider: Are you on vacation?
    I have a 37 meter earth ground line going from my work bench (kitchen table),  to my water well. And another 37m ground line from the well to my bench. So, over 70 meters long in total for both. Do you think that I can light my AC led bulb at my well, through this ground line? And perhaps, even return the output through the second ground line going back to my work bench, to light some bulbs, there? 70 meters total distance...  Forget about the well, for now, as it's just a grounding source.

Nick----Years ago I worked on a Dr. Stiffler SEC project where it was looped back to the source battery,  The project was called NILS.  It did not 'self-run' but the amp draw was pretty low.  The way he did it was by tapping into an LED array off the L3 at a certain point and sending energy at that point back to the source.  The LEDs stayed on and the looped back energy just dropped the amp draw.  I think the NILS device is the one Doc tried to get a patent on but ran out of money to complete the process.
  Here is my replication of his invention with a bit of my own twist to it:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px2wS4RKNrY    Perhaps we could use this idea on the Stiffer 'Loop' setup.

Gyula:
Appreciate your informative response and links, I had not come across the article by Alan Payne.  Yes a lot to digest but plenty there to gain a good understanding.  Thanks

TinselKoala:
Great way to model a transmission line and to visualize a standing wave, liked your Transmission Line Demonstration video and commented on it when you posted more than a year ago.  Your videos are very instructive.
