im thinking of winding a second identical over the last one ...

i would expect a drop in voltage but ...   im pretty sure we will have yet more output i will walk this dirrection ...  next i will need to wind 3 more wires of 50 strands ...

we will see how this will go  it actually was verry easy to do ..

so i need to work out the diodes yet i will drop it down to 2 diodes ... per output ... simply i will solder all 1 way  on 1 side and all other way on the other side but i will require wire connections from both b4 the diodes ..   so if i go with 200 output wires i will need 400 diodes and i will have 400 sepreat outputs each wire has to outputs .. 

ist!


getting NUTS NOW ...lol

Just for future reference, where should we measure the frequency of oscillations? ...I've been taking measurements across the collector and base as well as th collector and emitter.

Hi Jadaro2600 . Well I would think because we are concerned with the output frequency you would have to measure it on the collector to ground with a very high resistance so as to not upset the not so stable frequency of that Jt . Unless you are running a 555 to stabilize the frequency ..

@Electricme,

Thank you Jim for mentioning this 3 axis thing again.

I have a bag of inductors like the ones jadaro is using and I am thinking this is the way this 'dream' meant it. - That is that the vertical third axis would be in the middle.
It would probably radiate outwards at the ends in a conical shape by itself.

I don't know.

Today, I was planning to make a MK3. Since I want to keep all the wires straight (an old textile habit of mine!) I am adding one secondary wire at a time.

Maybe instead, I can try something with an inductor. Trouble is, I have never used those before, and that means there are a lot of unknowns added all at once.

@IST

You are making such beautiful coils. I really want to hear about the output.

Is there ever a time when the secondary/pickup gets weaker?

I think you do take measurements. Please divulge them!

thank you,

jeanna

ooo my o-scope just arrived. bbs

@jeanna

For the mag wire ends I burn off the enamel and then lightly scrape the wire. I then test them with my DMM to make sure there is continuity and that all looks perfect. I just got back from radio shack and plan to build a new JT on a Breadboard.

@ALL

Can someone please recommend a good Oscilloscope for projects such as this? I want to use it for other things as well. I plan on building a HHO generator and lots more.  I have been looking at usb ones that are around $400 are there better ones out there for this type of work? I would like to keep the cost down to below 1 grand.

Thanks!!!!!!!!

@all
I thought you Might be interested in these TOP SECRET Diagrams . I Can't tell you where they came from as the answer is I Don't Know .  hope you can Duplicate them . We Will need them Shortly !Enjoy
