That sounds very interesting.  I would like to see some of those.  Is there any info out there on them yet?

Sparks:

Thanks!  Holy crap!  You could run a house from this technology...even if you had to buy the salt by the drum load...it would still be cheap.  Might be a while before we can get our hands on the nano tech used for these devices.  Wonderfully interesting...thanks again.

Thanks to Pirate and gadgetmall, I was able to complete the AAA Fuji Circuit.  I was playing around with a toroid touch parts of the fuji board, to my surprise once I touched 2 pins of the transformer, the light got brighter! Does anyone know why this happened?

Gadget:

That is very cool!  What is that plastic shield over the coils doing there?  Was it part of some component you salvaged, or is it in your circuit for a reason?  I always thought that the 3055's took too much power to be a decent JT.  I guess you have shown otherwise.  Nice work.
