@ TheNOP

Thanks for the input on your edit but I would like to point out that I'm only here part time with only certain input capabilites, figuring out electronic circuits using ZPE or other methods and explaining them using complex mathematics isn't my cup of tea....


The rest of the people on this that that are good in electronics need to see your response and see for themselves if the solar panel to battery circuit can be used properly with the JT circuit without blowing the existing charging circuit.

Getting more from the sun than we are getting now will be a bonus.

@ IST:

On your question about the supercaps...yes, I believe they would charge.

@ Jeanna:

Very cool link you posted.  That was so well laid out, I could make that circuit on the first try. (and that's saying something)  I think it would be great if Wilby could make something like that for the JT circuit, then anyone could replicate this easily.  I would do it if I knew how, but I don't.

@ Jim:

I have not heard anything on the news about the fires but I am very sad to hear about it now.  Did this idiot do this on purpose?  Or was this just some stupid accident?  Glad to hear that Team Mouse has lost 2 more players.  Maybe soon, they will give up.  PS  My cat is feeling much better and is eating once again.  She is just about back to normal.  (Whatever that is, ha ha)

Your Imagination of a flower with all the petals as solar panels makes sense, what if the 400 LED were on top instead of the bottom and could face the solar panels at night, would that be enough voltage to make a JT modified circuit to drive itself and then some?

Solar panels don't work efficiently under any types of light, But with some of those uv and or redlight we may have surprises.
