Thank you!

How do you get such great looking coils

@ALL

Here is two new pics. My setup looks awful! However I am running 10 LEDs and charging a 9volt battery at the same time!!!

Take Care!

@Jeanna,
For the next 2 days im at a PC that has a broadband connection, I want to download the Tesla information you mentioned,

Hi Jim,
Here ya go:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/13040608/The-Researches-of-Nikola-Tesla-1894

There are a few on that page. I like this so far the best.
There is an autobiography. Evidently an interview. a verbal thing transcribed. It is very interesting, but this is the one with the stuff he was trying to explain that no one followed up on but turned into 60 Hz instead.

He goes into some detail about how with his ac one need not use the circuit for the ground, but one can just connect it to the real ground.

He was trying to integrate his new idea into what was already around, so there is a lot of stuff you must wade through about light bulbs etc.
Also, he didn't have a switching transistor and needed to create sparks for the high frequency. We have it easy. But if you cut through the stuff we do not need, you will see everywhere in this, that there is all the information we need. Well, all the information along with all of our minds working and sharing, too.

Thanks to MK1 for first posting this.

Enjoy!

@Jeanna,
Thanks for this swift responce, I'm downloading it as I post this off to you. TA muchly.

@altrez
Your are right, it looks terrible, but who cares about that,, I dont, it's functional, the thing works, and that is what counts.
It wont be long before you will be feeding some of the charge current back into the battery, ha ha and what will it be doing then?
A never ending energy device.........hmmmm has a nice ring to it.

I must be going troppo, I forgot to sign my post, duhhhh

My new Toy i called it the Tricycle , Yep 3 jt on a single toroid, But why mark?
Well for fun , but only one circuit is connected to the battery , the two other circuit are feeding of the toroid and are NOT connected to the battery in any way , so 3 jt for the juice it takes to power one ! The leds are really bright on all 3 jt circuit.

Now what about having one feed the other ? You say crasy stuff Mark , Yep but it works !

On a one inch toroid , the drawing show the right number of turns.

OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) 

I have the wire looped once around a finger on the pulling hand while I use a finger on the other hand that is holding the toroid to push the wire onto the toroid as I wrap. After each turn I keep constant pressure on the wire to keep it tight. You can also use a popscicle stick to push the wire onto the toroid to get it as flat as possible against the toroid's surface. All in All, just take your time and figure out a technique that works best for you. After countless tries it get easier and better.
