I've done this, with the prefab inductors, it's not the best results, but, a custome build would be a better option.  I think that finer wire could be used for the voltage gain.  Also, making the secondary the same size as the coil to collector would be a wise option..  the coil to base could be small, insignificant even, as it's the current which switches on the base? ( yes / no ).

Anyway, the coil to base could be placed somewhere in the coil to collector and the secondary could be placed in-line.

I've just acquired an old pc monitor - it's huge, i'm hoping it has a decent transformer in it.

Save the YOKE !!! its a vortex coil !

oooo  i think this last unit is a WINNER ... 

i finally got 2 of the 8 wound on it ...  must be atleast 1000 turns each.

should be a big magnetic feild ...  and i would expect big  colapse ...

also i got to thinking thease will be trigger / pulse and the other primary and ill lap it .. in between the other 8  coils   magic ..

kinda makes me think the 4 toroide coil i just posted and the mot and the ist sh!ft coil ... lol

hummmm

ist!

i have already a varity of bedini  boards .. just hook it up ... lol

@jeanna,

This morning I became aware of your successfull  "Jeanna Light"  as Lidmotor calls it, very impressive indeed.
It took 2 hours to download the U T video lol.

I hope everyone on OU makes one, maybe that's the reason the toroid's can't be bought anymore 

Congratulations Jeanna, well done.

@All

I got game.
A couple of years ago the local town had some work done at the local hall, they decided to put a heep of excess dirt next door to my boundary.
During this time, this heep of dirt has formed itself like a grave site, soooo last night I makes me a wooden cross and painted it white, when the paint was dried, I sneeked out very late and plonked it at one end of the earth heep, ha ha ha, it looks really real.

Now maybe someone might take some notice and cart the dirt pile away, they can have the cross too.

i do agree jeanas light ...  is the simple ticket....  i bet it charges caps well


have you tryed to charge one yet j?  useing your light config...

i am still winding .. it takes a while ...  got 4 on the ring 29.1g each 28 gage

i never counted the turns .. i will on the next coil ..

ist!

btw jim .. im about sick of tripping on coils ... i have boxes of them ...  i saw a really good RODIN COIL.. looks kinda kool....  hummmmmm

i bet it works kinda the same way ... lol  but o the angles... right ... lol silly me ....
