Im happy with this one lighting cfl near full bright and one layer is an accomplishment and afirst for me . But Mark himself said basicaly the same thing that you must wind back and have the wire contact the toroid inbetween the other winding . The reason is the more wire on the surface of the toroid the more effeciant it will be plus you get ac from his winding . i get polarized volts off mine . . Hey great find man . Yes i woul dlove to have one of those amps if it really is that frequency then i can use it and put it to use for real . I wish you have not tore the gold out of them they probable are useless now  .

thank you jim ... i just knew that you sir would know about those cridders ...

im so sick of damm gold ...  lol

i got a chunk for you to bro ...  ill only use it to COMPLEATE MY WORK..

i gave 3 ounces away already .. makes an easy christmas gift .. i have a bro and a sis .. 

i still have like 20 more units to take apart today ... and that was  just 11 amps .. and 70 or so boster amps..   for 3 plus pounds ..

i have A HOLE SKID OF AMPS STILL ...

thank you verry much !

and there 3 years old ...  and THEY USED PLATUM IN THE  NEW ONES

this is the best rf gear out there ... they took down the old ... and put up the new ...

same ferq... just more bandwith ...  the ONLY REASON FOR THE UPGRADE .. OTHER THAN TO ROBB THE GOLD FROM THE PEOPLE ...  WAS TO SELL THEM TV HI DEF .. INTERNET AND TELEPHONE..

the old gear can not handle the extra load of the fone calls ... the nodes ... they installed are .. like 680 strand fiber ... 

it takes a guy a full day to splice 1 CONNECTION ....

i know there whole system side ways ...  lmfao  ...  and it is junk ...

W

besides ....  the amps are just a fancy jt .... lol   lol 

yea i got hundreds of toroides wound tuned and all the caps to piss fire ...

all tuned ...  like i said this WORLD WISHED I NEVER TOOK THEM APART ...  TOOO LATE ...

gadget can you fire 40 watts ...  plus at 1 ghz ... with less than .0001 harmonic distortion ... sure i can .... 

lol 

guess what i know a teckkie or 3 that have the 10 000 dollar meters to tune the rf ... lol  hummmmm

as they TUNE THE SHIT THEY INSTALL ...  so yea it is a VERRY SPECIAL TRADE ... SO IS MY ENGERY ...

this pic is 14.7 grams of platnum  from the pins in the gold connectors i have showen last time  i checked the price of it was 3 years ago  1800 cdn / ounce ..  thats over 1/2 ounce ... AND FILLS A LESSER SPACE THAN 1/2 OUNCE OF GOLD ...  cant be anything other than that ... as per jeanna's words ..

what ya think ...  kind of a golden white dust as i drilled them out ... i drilled half of the pins away b4 i realized what they were ... btw thanks J  love ya!

I am depress now that you show me gold , I checked lats night in the cold  and it was GONE  GONE GONE . well i hope the Thieves are happy .
God Bless them and hope they are  nice and warm and used the money for food and not drugs . If so then i wish them a pleasant stay in Hell !

@Gadget,

Inportant . IF anyof you try to wind the big uncoated cores with regular wire and go over 500 turns your going to be very dissapointed . I am unwinding all 600 turns (ARHHHH) and YOU MUST PAINT THOSE TOROIDS WITH A NON CONDUCTIVE PAINT FIRST > they are bare when charchole color and if you notice and put you rohm meter on 200 k its 0 from end to end so the wire will arc to it no matter if there is not a scratch or not . SOOO. I am going to buy some acrylic paint tomorrow and pain the last ones i have left and then paint them once more before i try that again . After you wind them i them suggest to paint them in shellack and let dry then coat them in rubber    That way you wont have a problem and you can fit a lot more winding with regular wire than kkynar or bell wire on them and get VERY HIGH VOLTS . O thats  My rant . ' Ill be unwinding .. It was the brightest i have ever seen  and she started acring every where to the core . NEED TO INSULATE IT . Or maybe wrap it in black tape might work too before you wind .

I'm glad you found out about the HV problem with the grey toroid, I am assuming the one I have here, is from the same batch as yours?

Anyway, you are right about the paint insulation over the core, ordinary iron transformers are required by law to be able to exceed a certain electrical rating so no accidents happen. When I unwound a toroid last year, it had thin, clear insulation like scotch tape wound around the toroid, I think I kept some of that stuff.
What I also noticed, between each layer of winds/coils, was a layer of this clear tape, so this is something we need to keep in mind with these hi-powered toroids.

I loved your screeming light, its bea-ute-full.
