Alex:

Here on this topic, but please, do not ask me where...ha ha.  the Jeanna circuit is based upon Mark's design.  She did a lot of experiments and research to find that adding more leds on the pick-up coil windings did not make them dimmer and, did not increase the amp draw.  More light...no cost...or so it seems.  She did also find that there was a limit to this but...I believe it was many, many leds before it no longer worked.  I am sure she can answer this much better than I with my bad memory.

If not, let me know and I can point you to some youtube vids of mine, Jeanna's, and lidmotors.

IF memory serves, MK1 started posting about his multiple coils on a single toroid within the first 100 pages of this topic.  Does not really narrow it down but, maybe a little.  It was in the early days and it inspired us all to look at the JT a little differently.

Bill,

Thanks. I will try to find the information in this thread.
Have a nice day. :-)

Thanks Alex, you too.  i wish I could pinpoint it a little closer but, maybe Mark or Jeanna will jump in and give you closer directions.  Possibly the search function might narrow it down also.  Does not always work for me but once in a while it does.

Good Morning
I have been looking for that same circuit but this is a LONG thread...is it called MK1?
Thanks
