here is the first experimental e-light prototype version 1 .you can play with .Since then i have redone it with a more efficient circuit but this one will convert a stick up and run for a few days . it will eventually get weaker . My new one actually charges the run  while charging the spare .. runs for ?? I checked the plan on your disk and its not in there . that is not the E-light and is a mistake .its the op2 not mine .. . The ferrite bead is  tiny and i used #36 wire . the bead is about 1/8 in diameter and about 5/16' long . those tiny beads work better than some of the biggest toroid s i have . Current draw is less than 2 ma on the new model running three bright whites with the feedback to source .the Charge does not make it draw more .

Wow thank you. That looks almost exactly like what I have come up with. It sounds like your new E-Light might be close to Unity?

@ Jim:

Great video!!!  You left out an important part of this.  you said you were running your motor from the EB and you did....BUT it looks like you left the propeller on the motor shaft so, not only were you running a motor, it was doing work moving air as well.  Great job mate! 

I did use my RF detector on my "regular" JT circuit and got no response.  This was a while back.  Now, when I finally get some wound like the rest of you with secondaries, etc.  I will check again and I bet I get different results.


@ Altrez:

Nice pics of your empty voltage there.  You can tell by looking at those that they are using empty voltage because all they are doing is lighting up....oh wait...that is what they are supposed to do, ha ha.  Nice work.


@ All:

I am still about 4 pages behind.  I am trying to catch up and keep up.  You all make that hard to do.

With so many people working on earth batteries perhaps you could post some JT results you have gotten using the germanium transistors to convert a 0.2 volt input into a 1.5 volt (or more) output for charging the super caps. I think a lot of the earth batteries do not always put out over 0.5 volts and thus will not always run a silicon transistor JT.
