Oscillating Capacitor Circuit

Hi Lee,
here's an updated link to that video: http://www.modvid.com/play/Energy__Unsorted/Capacitor_Self_Pulsing_Circuit_test_1

Much better.  The new video runs okay on the computer I borrow.  Can you incorporate a wiring diagram of the circuit into the last 30secs - 1 minute of the video so others can at least look at it and abstract a hand drawing from the screen?

Very simple circuit. Grid 120 vac connected to a FWBR, + of bridge goes though a dimmer and then through a 60mF AC capacitor and back to the - of the FWBR. So both dimmer and capacitor are in series. The bulb or load is connected in parallel to the capacitor.

@gotoluc
Does this look like what you described?

I thought My explanation was clear

Okay, I see both diagrams now.
