wtf??? wow. well, as a show of solidarity unless bill returns i won't be posting at this forum any longer either.

I am hoping that Bill will come back. He is still moderator. If he does not want to continue then I think he should close this thread. But this all seems to be a lack of communication between Bill and Stefan. I hope that the problems have been fixed.

hmmm,

the trick must be the 2n3055
i have wrap over 700 turns and lower to only get 371 ac
and i have tried a mje 3055 only a 5 v rise
so i will go to the shack and get me a couple of 2n3055's
i never liked the 3055 in my bendini motors
but if it help this much in the jt i will get some...

and i found out that if you go in to layers on this tor-60 it killed voltage
it done best between 200-450 turns one layer

@xee2
if you go thur the scr way you can get the pulses in the high hz then go into a brigde then a cap and lite a 4 watt bulb of 110.. one of those nite light ones.. it pretty kool but i want more watts
i am still work on the same circuit i was... but am trying to perfect the third stage..
i got me some daics out of some electronic ballast lights
and some more small transformers to jt from a couple of crt monitors

oh i got a kool fan to show you guys soon.. it my old scr circuit in to a flyback with a reversed diode small ion propulsion... puts out alot of neg. air flow

i'll quit bother you guys with nonsense
good nite all

oh..
i also wanted to tell you folks i was messing around with a 5'' aircoil jt and was putting the feedback to the input getting good results..
but i had to quit...
my radio was on 93.7 and it cut it off and i got a smoking bad head ache..
and lucking the mosfet flew...
so i went for a nap
if it tells you something the mosfet was a 500v to-3 that i got from goldmine a couple month ago
i won't be doing that again

the head ache was so bad i wanted to kill myself or others...
so please don't try the aircoil design...

i'm only 30 yrs old i need a different hobby.. hahahaha
yea right

@ kooler

I am still waiting for the new SCRs but now I do not think they will work either. But, I have a new idea, if it works I think you will be able to get more power out at high voltage. Stay tuned. I try to not post untested ideas.

i am currently using your circuit design but with neons .....
the diodes instead of a bridge.. it does real good
i did find out if you use a cap under the resistor for the trigger on the triac or scr it works without
holding the gate open all the time...
i got two of those 650 farad cap of 2.7 volts.. what a waste i blew one...hahaha
the top blows out..
it fried my ipod 8 feet away...
of course i was outside waiting to see what happen.lol
i thought since gadget took 14 hours to charge for a 4 min discharge...
it would take me as long
so i went to get some food and my walk back to the cellar..
i heard a boom so i run in to see... it burst thur the top....
ah hell i got one more to play with
