thanks for the info.. i was starting to wonder.. what you going to try your board on..
i'm going to try solar i got some 0.5 volt panels that are 2 amps.. i dont think this chip will go far but will be fun to play with..

Robbie:

I have a 3.5 " dia. toroid laying around left over from the Jeanna Circuit days.  I might try to hook up to that and play with the parameters and see if I can hit resonance and see how it does.  After that....who knows?

what ever happened to jeanna.. i miss some of the great minds we once had..

Last I heard from Jeanna, she was moving way out into a small place in the woods where the internet does not run.  She was buying some property and I don't even think there are any cell towers near by.

Yes, I miss that too.

Hey kooler . Sure if you have a component proto board and are able to make sure the elec caps and germaniums are in the  circuit the correct way. you can tell if you get those two positive out and two negatives out  . i got the ts 002 board because of its  self power culpability . It can be a first stage current amp . I got mine fed ex . I told them in the product uses would be Study Precise timing signals and ultra low energy harvesting applications for storage .I guess it sounded like i had a mission. 

Hey Bill Cool and then we can build this  . I showed a simple circuit off the touchstone site for the application for the ts 1002 or ts1001 or ts 1004 .
According to Touchstone, the TS1002 and TS1004 are the industry's first and only dual and quad single-supply, precision CMOS operational amplifiers fully specified to operate at 0.8V while consuming less than 0.6µA supply current per amplifier. They are designed to cut power requirements at least in half compared to any other amplifier, the company said.
The TS1002 and the TS1004 are optimized for ultra-long-life, battery-powered applications,


Not feel good today and doc had some more bad news so i need to slow down a bit today.

Jeanna in the woods with no phone? She need to get her Amateur radio Licenses .. Before Internet was invented i Used high powered fm 2meter and 440 meter band radio transceivers  with a packet controller connected to a computer . I helped test and invent the TCP protocol that is used today in our wired Internet . We had radio Internet and BBS file sharing and site log ons way before a 2400 baud modem on a phone line . Still do have packet which now is just like a high speed connection via Ham radio worldwide without the wires ...It also has connections to wired telephones as cell does . She won't have to learn Morse  code like i did because the now have made it easy to get one on those frequency's and run a packet station  and have telephone auto patch .the radios and packet controllers are battery powered 12 volts .
i Still have all my equipment and the packet controller is upgraded easy by reprogramming a chip .my Station call sign KB4Tww has to renewed again in 2015. In case of an event or emergency it is my responsibility to set it all back up for emergency communications and relay repeater signals . I also have Hf high powered tube radios that can talk anywhere in the world to any point with just a wire Ariel antenna i can shoot up trees with a bow and arrow .With the new NO-CODE easy licenses you get all that capability .The advantage of learning code is More Frequency's and easy r renewal process . Mine is every 10  years and just a form and a fee mailed in. . I can Decipher 5 words per minute morse code which at that time was a requirement for me to get one along with a big book on radio signal propagation .It is not that complicated now.
