sounds kool man....
the schematic stuff. is just ms paint and a bunch of pic's i got thru google images that i stored in a folder ..
it took me about 5-6 mins to fab the diagram above out this evening

i use tinycad most cases but i like the look of 3D.. you know

out

Hi kooler

I like your new circuit. It will light at least 3 LEDs in series (the most I have tried). I have been using 2M base resistor and 0.01 uF cap. MSPA06 seems to be best transistor to use. Thanks for posting this. I am surprised jeanna has not tried it, she is always trying to make things run longer and this will run for a very long time. I am not sure exactly how much current I am using; different meters and different scales on the same meter will give different readings. But, it is very low.

Also, you probably noticed this, if the cap is made large enough the LED blinks. I had this effect with a similar circuit before but was unable to repeat it. With this circuit it seems to be repeatable.

    Two waves approach it other at the speed of light.  They will never ever be able to go faster than the speed of light.
The space between the two waves though will be altered faster than the speed of light.  When the two waves collide they collide faster than any electromagnetic waves bound by the speed of light  can get the news of the collision out to the surrounding field.  So the field itself caves in.  Stuff starts rolling in instead of firing out. What goes up must come down spinning wheels go round and round .....ride the painted pony let the spinning wheel fly.

It would be great to see more designs posted of these TP powered windings.

the cap tv ...  kinda reminds me of the HEAT TO ELECTRICAL FROM A CANDLE LOL .....


it worked on my un modded cfl ...  and a fugi ...  cant see why you cant buy an INVERTOR AND DO THE SAME LOL

; )

sparks ...  kinda like some of my older windes ....  : )

1 rmf.. 1 lap   several laps   collector fed to horz collector ... then out!
