@ gadgetmall

Schematic is correct. All coils are connected to positive of battery.

Really . So your secondary is tied to the primary . ok  Sorry .

All coils are connected to positive of battery.

OH!
So, it isn't a true secondary in this case because it is connected to the pos battery!
That ought to help!

thanks xee,

Hi . bill . that might be true for little super caps but ULTRA CAP From Maxwell can be connected in series up to 125 vols. they sell Modules with many series ultras in them . heres the spec on them :The BMOD0063-P125 (HTM125) module is based on 2.7-volt BOOSTCAP® BCAP3000 Power cells and incorporates proprietary balancing, monitoring and thermal management capabilities to ensure industry-leading charge/discharge performance, high reliability and long operational life.

The HTM125 meets or exceeds transportation industry requirements for watt-hours of energy storage and watts of power delivery per kilogram, and is designed to perform reliably through one million or more deep charge/discharge cycles, which equates to more than 15 years of operational life.

    * 125V operating voltage

@all On sale get them before there all gone at this price !!!! gadgetmall store .. this one will burn lamp wire into if shorted !!!.
Gadget  650 farads 2.7 volts

Gadget:

I won't even bother to ask just how you know this will melt a lamp wire....ha ha, I can guess.  I promise you I am ordering one of these.  Thanks.

@ Ms Destructo:

Hey be careful, names like this can stick.  Just ask General Jim, ha ha.  speaking of Jim, I hope he is ok as I have not seen him here lately.

Here is the earth battery-joule thief-supercaps set-up lighting 200 leds:

I am not really happy with the way this video turned out.  It looked fine when reviewing it but after uploading, something happened to the exposure it seems.  Looks like I was filming in an English fog.  Also, in the version on my hasrd drive, I can see all the circuit details, on Youtube, it just looks dark.  Oh well, it did work.  so, on to the next level.

@ Thaelin,
Nice fined this circuit.

   To further the doubler/tripler circuit, I found this on the web. States that it will fail at around ten sections due to losses. Dont think it should go past 3 really. Watch out for the zaps if you do.

Its called a Walton Crockcroft voltage multiplyer, developed by the two fellas who needed huge high voltage for their experiments with the A Bomb.

I saw a tripple or 3 phase WC circuit during my web travels yesterday.
